Forsaken

A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Series (Dark Road, Book 10)

De: Bruno Miller

Narrado por: Andrew Tell

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Things go from bad to worse for Ben and his crew as they struggle to push on toward Colorado. Unfortunately, due to Emma’s deteriorating health, they’re forced to alter their plans. But a delay might not be their biggest problem.

Battling the elements and their own physical limits proves to be almost as treacherous as the roving gangs of highway bandits that lurk in the shadows, looking to prey upon the weak or unprepared. It’s more important than ever to remain vigilant.

Especially when being deep in Patriot Hooligan territory makes every stop to fuel the vehicles a potential life-and-death situation. The murderous gang of extremists leave no question about their intent for anyone unlucky enough to cross their path. Something made clear by the grim remains of their evil deeds that litter the route to Fort Wayne.

With no other choice, they must push on toward their new destination for Emma’s sake. But Ben sees Colorado and home slip further from their grasp, along with his expectations of humanity. Even the youngest of the group can no longer be sheltered from the problems this post-apocalyptic world presents or the tough choices that come along with surviving in it.

Too Much Filler

All of the books in this series have had sections where it feels like there's paragraph after paragraph of needless rambling about whatever Ben is thinking. Usually, the endless rambling consists of Ben's justifications of the plans he's considering for their next move, which is good to have, to an extent. But this author just goes way too far with it, to the point that it feels like intentional fluff. Like, in a "I need to get this essay to 3,000 words and I'm too lazy to add more actual content so I'll just add a bunch of fluff" sense. This book, in particular, is full of this pointless fluff, and I ended up having to skip ahead in a few places in order to finish it. It's obvious that the author needed more content in order to stretch out this one leg of their journey, which should have just been a couple of chapters in a longer book, into a book in and of itself.

Oh, and they still haven't figured out that leashes exist so of course their dogs are still running off and getting them into bad situations.

Update: okay, I did not see the ending coming. Nice. That makes up for a lot of my earlier aggravation.

I just can't quit this series.

I love this series. Great narration . Was the RV disabled? I think they should have told the family going to Oklahoma to go back and get it.

If I could 6 star this book!

Wow! What a twisty suspenseful addition to the series! I was completely surprised by the ending! Great work from author and narrator!

No gradual story line development

The event that set the tone for the story was great including the detail that set up the story but a trained ranger constantly overthinking and making the same obvious mistakes gets old really fast. Situational awareness doesn’t exist and the absence of realistic logic amongst the group even after multiple experiences is out the window. They spend more time trying to hold on to a non reality than they do surviving. Anxiety ridden head case should be the title of this overworked fiction.

This is half a book

Why I paid a credit for half a book I’ll never know. It ends when something actually happens. If you are interested in how this plays out, I’d advise waiting for a collection to be made so you don’t waste your time and money.
