Love the Bombshells

A Post-Apocalyptic Base Building Adventure

By: Micky Carre

Narrated by: Stone Smith, Jovi Patton

Who said you can't rebuild after a nuclear war?

I thought volunteering to be put into cryostasis for three days would be a great way to make some extra cash. Apparently, the rest of the world thought it would be a great time for an all-out nuclear war.

Destruction was unleashed on such an incredible scale they say the very laws of physics changed. Now, massive mutants roam the city, looking for something—or someone—to eat. Violent gangs fight for control of the city's remains. Strange, human-animal hybrids are now part of our struggling societies. And perhaps strangest of all, magic is now real. Yeah, I'm still trying to process that one.

But it wasn't all bad. A small society took me in and taught me to survive. They gave me hope for a future. In fact, I've decided to start my own settlement, and I'm going to use all that I've learned to make it into a fortress. I wasn't going to let something like nuclear annihilation get me down. I was going to survive, and maybe find a good woman or two to keep me warm at night.

Or, you know. At least until the mutants show up. Then, it's time to fight.

Good

I like the concept and its a fun read with enough pace to keep me engaged but not drag things out

Engaging story

It started slowly but gradually engaged one. Well written and performed. For example, at one point you really dislike the guy and his helplessness but then the author steers you to see echoes of your life. It had a very satisfying ending.

Pretty Good,

First Impression:

If you're familiar with Baltimore, Maryland (fortunately, I am), you'll probably get a kick out of this story. It's entertaining to imagine my old stomping grounds reimagined as a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Readers who don't know the area may not get as much out of those details, but for me they added an extra layer of enjoyment.

One thing that didn't quite click for me was the main character. Because I know the setting so well, I naturally pictured him with a rough, blue-collar Baltimore vibe, which didn't quite match the smooth ladies' man he's portrayed as in the book.

The story itself is solid. It isn't especially original, but it's well written, the pacing kept me engaged, and the romance is very light on spice. Overall, I enjoyed it enough that I'm willing to give the second book a chance.

an awesome new listen

buying this book was a chance im glad I took. its a refreshing change of pace and I love the post apocalyptic survival / fortress building trope.

Fun entertaining book.

Good solid plot pacing character development and introduce interesting world scenario and settings and realistic Beast building and survival ties in many parts. Can't wait for the next block..
