Cataclysm

A Matt Sheridan Novel - Book One

Islamic terrorists have obliterated New York City. Awaking to the nightmare, Matt Sheridan makes the quick decision to evacuate his family to rural Vermont. As the situation deteriorates across the United States and society collapses into chaos, the seasoned Army Ranger must navigate an entirely new battlefield to protect his family from impending peril. Prepare yourself for action, intrigue and hours of lost sleep scrambling to see what happens next. Author Robert Cole brings his knowledge as a “red-cell” team leader on some of the most-classified Department of Defense’s Weapons of Mass Destruction scenarios to this realistic, captivating first novel.

Great series

Author does a great job developing characters and hardship without resorting to outlandish or unbelievable bad guys. I am a fan.

A well written post apocalyptic novel

Robert Cole crafted an excellent post apocalyptic novel that focuses on a husband awaking in the dead of night and recognizes the likelihood of the start of a nuclear conflagration. Not waiting for confirmation, he wakens his family and quickly leaves the area and heads for a known remote area. As it turns out, he and his wife had been both military-trained warriors and, together, they rush to gather lots of emergency supplies, dry and canned foods, weapons and ammo before the country is alerted. The rest of the novel is similar to others of this genre, with close encounters, intrigue and friendships.

The most surprising, for me at least, it the pitch-perfect reading of the novel from a computer-generated voice. If Audible hadn't made that known upfront, I would not have suspected it being anything other than a human narrating the book.

Realistic

Thought provoking concept and realistic actions and reactions . Easy to follow and interesting good character development like looking forward to book 2 .

a good listen

plot
