Behind the Gates 3

Collapse of America, Book 3

By: Bobby Akart

Narrated by: Andrew Wehrlen

The rolling blackouts were coming all too frequently.
With darkness, the attempts to penetrate the gates increased.
Their food and water supplies were dwindling.
Some elected to leave the walls that protected them.
Only a few were able to return.

International bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America’s favorite storytellers, delivers up-all-night thrillers to nearly two million listeners in 245 countries and territories worldwide.

“Akart is one of those very rare authors who makes things so visceral, so real, that you experience what he writes.”

America’s government was on the verge of collapse, and her geopolitical foes smelled blood. While the country was destroyed from within, China deals a final blow. It was time to bring the United States to its knees.

Thrust into a world without power, complete lawlessness took over. There was no organized police force. The National Guardsmen had abandoned their posts to protect their own. Anarchy filled the void.

“You are there. Feeling what they feel. Anger, joy, love, mourning. You feel it all. Not everyone can write a book like this. It takes a special writer to make you feel a book.”

An uneasy alliance within the community had finally been endorsed by all. But would it be adhered to? Was it nothing more than a ruse to convince those who were prepared to feed and protect those who were not? Four families remained skeptical and tried to maintain their distance from the neighborhood politics. Until a seminal event threatened to expose their anonymity.

"Akart's fiction becomes reality far too often. Behind the Gates is a cautionary tale of what's to come in our nation."

With seventy novels published worldwide, Bobby Akart delivers intense, up-all-night thrillers that have you whispering just one more chapter.

Yikes!!

I listened to this in one day!! WHAT a CLIFF HANGER! I may not sleep until the next book comes out! This was an ABSOLUTE wild, exciting, nonstop action ride! This series is a MUST read!

another good one

I enjoy your books, I thought this one was a little slow with the trek home. Your other books are awesome, this one wasn't bad just felt it was slow, could of passed on the whole thing about the dog peeing on him. Again I enjoy your books looking forward to the next book on the series.

The Collapse Griws Worse

Book 3: The story continues in book 3. Things continue to worsen as a second blackout has happened. Em tries desperately to get her husband out of jail. With the help of Grayson and her neighbors. Toby is ramping up his efforts to take control of the Colony. Everything comes to a head in the books final chapter. I'm looking forward to book 4.

Good story, good performance

This was a good alternate path for the popular theme of the apocalypse. I found a lot of it believable, but some parts were not. The characters were fleshed out enough to give perspective and depth. The performance was good and added to the story..

Another great book..

Although I find it hard to believe Gracen would actively choose to live in California with his skill set and background. I understand the necessary position for the character. I appreciate his leadership role and the change from the norm with his battle rifle choice. Ready for the next one.

Interesting and believable

Like the characters and the flow of the story. Just wish that this were all together in a box set. I usually purchase longer books and usually don't use 4 credits for a short series, but this series has been worth it. starting the 4th book now.

The

The only thing that makes sense is the amount of money you spend on the game itself

Good listen!

Nice distraction and a good way to pass the time while driving. Easy to follow and keep up with characters

Great Story

I am really enjoying this series. The books are a little short, it seems this book could have been part of book 2. That is the only reason I gave 4 stars. The story is great and has an excellent reader. I like this story because it's so relevant to today's environment. I'm a big fan of TSHTF fiction. Lately it seems like everything I listen to is just like the last one. In most of the books the EMP or Nuclear attack happens (or whatever) the first page and then it goes from there. In this book, things happen gradually and not all in the first chapter. I listened to the first 2 books in one day. You will be riveted from the beginning till the end. This is by far one of Bobby Akart's best novels. I can't wait until the next book even if it is too short!

Possibilities

I love this series. The characters are wonderful and very well developed. The very first thing you need to know is how easy it will be for this to turn into a real life experience. It’s definitely an eye opener. Can’t wait for the next book!!
