Publisher's Summary

It’s the end of the world as you've never known it.

Join the Librarian as he does his best to make the post-apocalyptic world a better place by protecting the weak, fighting injustice, squaring off against a group of former renaissance fair workers who have established a kingdom in the Rocky Mountains, and so on. Can one man make a difference in the face of such murderous cannibals and super smart bears? Probably not. 

The Boom Box includes:

Post-Apocalyptic Nomadic Warriors (Book 1) 

An army of savage raiders have their sights set on the peaceful town of New Hope and the people are going to need help. When two nomads offer their assistance, one is hired and the other is sent back into the wasteland. Did they choose the right man for the job?

Knights of the Apocalypse (Book 2)

A price on their heads has driven the Librarian, Erica, and their loyal mastiff west in search of a new beginning. But when their truck breaks down in what was once southern Colorado they are swept into an epic quest at the behest of King Elias, ruler of the Kingdom of the Five Peaks and former turkey leg magnate. 

Pursuit of the Apocalypse (Book 3)

A bounty hunter has kidnapped Erica and the Librarian and his dog, Chewy, are desperate to get her back. The chase will take them from the deserts of west Texas to the town of Tolerance and beyond. Be a part of the greatest chase the apocalypse has ever known. 

It’s post-apocalyptic mayhem of the highest order in the series listeners are calling Mad Max meets Monty Python.

The Post-Apocalypic story we all deserve!!!

Absolutely amazing! The mutants, raiders, bounty hunters, plants, the very wasteland itself is out to claim the Librarian. With a determination to do what's right, Jerry fights a death truck, journeys to rescue a princess, and fights a P.C. saftey zone gone wrong. With a helping paw from Chewie, the Post-Apocalypic Nomadic Warrior gives us a tale like none other. War, humor and slap stick comedy are only the start of how to describe this. I can't wait for what is to follow!

Tremendous series

To Whom It May Concern,
This three book series, The Duck and Cover Adventures, is by far the most entertaining and compelling post apocalyptic group of books I have ever listened to. I just downloaded book number four and am going to start it today. I could not recommend this series any more highly, a combination of excellent writing with humor that does not feel inappropriate or out of place, coupled with what I consider perfect narration of the material. The three book combo for one credit is an exceptional value.
With Regards,
Sam Thompson

Perfect

From the humble beginnings to the storied end. I absolutely cannot wait for the next volume. The intense and detailed action mixes perfectly with the author's ability to twist bits of the real world into a characature of itself.

great fun

Really enjoyed this series, I hope there will be more installments in the near future

Great Story! Enjoyable Characters!

I'm a big Apocalyptic book fan but I went into this series with a fair amount of trepidation, Having heard the series described as "Comedic", I wasn't sure I would enjoy what's usually a serious genre that was written as a comedy. However, within the first few chapters I was hooked. The narration was outstanding and the story was fun, humorous and touching. All the characters were unique and well written for the mind's eye. Now, while it is very humorous, it is also everything a normal Apocalypse you would expect. I highly recommend it.

The only con for me was the fact they were relatively short books.

laughs a plenty.

clever and funny. a total riot action packed and peppered with just the right amount of humor.

MOOOORE!

I really hope there is more to this, I feel so empty after having finished it. The books are great and I loved that i got all three for one credit! This is a great post apoc series

Amazing

Im an immense fan of Phil Thron's dulcet tones but I kept waffling about getting these books. What a fool I am. This series and Benjamin Wallace's style is another perfect fit for Phil's vocal ministrations. What a perfect blend of humour, action and suspense. This value packed bundle would be a deal at three times the price.

Great book, great narration.

This series surprised me. I thoroughly enjoyed the first 3 books. Often funny, but still an apocalyptic story with all gruesome things that come with that world.

wow

what a great storyline.....lots of action and comedy.....the narrator is great...cant wait to listen to the rest

Was ok.

Got this book because there was a lot of adds for it on Facebook and when it came up with all three books for one credit i thought "Heck. why not." The books were ok but didn't seem to live up to the hype. Good take on the apocalypse.
Will defiantly give it another listen in a while.

Not for me.

More a collection of short stories with absolutely zero character development. Funny in places, but I just didn't care about the people at all.

Each "book" lasts 6 hours, and the boom box contains the first 3 "books". The performance was good, he was clear and concise, but it was a shame.

Yet another book heavily advertised on Facebook, that just wasn't worth it.

got better

first book didn't live up tp the hype. Nothing wrong with it, just had super high expectations. second book was OK. Third book was great. i'll probably listen to the reat of the series.

must read for preppers

brilliant story about an ordinary good man trying to make a broken world better but doing the right thing make his life harder

Not your average apocalypse.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy. Was very impressed by it, and excited to hear how the story progressed. I was sad when it ended and I think it is one I will definitely listen to again.
It's a fresh view on a post apocalyptic theme. Amusing. Insightful. Crazy. Some memorable, interesting characters. Some just as memorable towns (particularly the town of Tolerance). The story is chock full of new and old myths, legends and madcap adventures. With the added bonus of including incisive, witty and at times thoughtful insights into the random nature of humanity.
Plus it's brilliantly narrated by the amazing Phil Thron.

Action packed Adventures

Mostly mildly amusing but I find stupidity annoying at times. Some very funny bits (especially the flag fight). Disappointed by ending.

Fantastic Value

I had seen a number of adverts on Facebook for the Duck & Cover books, and I do love an apocalyptic tale, but the chance of something a little more light-hearted seemed a good idea.

Ok, so some plot lines are a little obvious, but then when you are expecting a twist, I guess its a double twist - this is a running theme of the collection, so you never really know where the story is going next.

It really has had me laugh out loud a few times.

I will be purchasing the rest in the series without doubt

loved it, genuinely loved it

loved the 3 books, moving straight onto the 4th. Gerry/Jerry is such a loveable good rogue, you just back him all the way.

Superb book

Amazing story and amazingly good story teller, I just couldn't stop listening to it, can't wait to hear the 4th and I think there might be a 5th book too.
Everyone should give it a try, it starts out slow, but it gets amazingly action packed, just love it

Good books..

nice easy listen..
some of the characters would be at home in a monty python sketch..
really enjoyed the books.
