Commune 5

Commune, Book 5

De: Joshua Gayou, Devon C. Ford

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

The hit Commune Series is back with book five! Rejoin some of your old favorites and plenty of unforgettable new ones on another deadly romp through post-apocalyptic America.

Books and Bug are polar opposites, despite their friendship. Rumors on the road speak of a hospital in Washington D.C. Leading a small group of survivors, including pregnant women, the two travel in earnest to provide the soon-to-be mothers a safe place to deliver.

Bug, a natural, charismatic leader, refuses to leave anyone behind while the other, Books, is a pragmatic social outsider who wishes not to be responsible for the safety of others. Together, they're exactly what this group needs to survive.

But DC isn't exactly the safehaven they hoped for, having been divided into three major factions: the Mall—which is controlled by a man named Knox and his lieutenants—Columbia Heights to the north, and Anacostia to the south.

On arrival, Books immediately recognizes that the people of the Mall are in a wartime posture. Uncomfortable with the idea of being pulled into someone else's war, he advises that the entire company should depart. Bug, upon realizing that the Mall is wonderfully organized with hydro-electric power, security, and a functioning hospital, refuses that advice, stating that it is more than fair that they should help their new benefactors defend their adopted territory.

Can their bond endure their conflicting points of view or will they be drawn against each other, and into a war that will consume everyone...leaving DC in Ashes?

Conceptually interesting

Always a great performance from RC Bray, but I found I had a hard time empathizing with the characters.

Loved it!

Even though I had thought it was going to have 1 or 2 of the original characters in it, I totally enjoyed every minute listening to number 5.
I'm going to count the days until book 6 is released.
Two great authors and RC. Bray, hell yeah.

a whole new list to deep dive into

the commune series gains another masterpiece. whole new set of characters to deep dive into and one hell of a storyline. it especially gets your mind going if you've listened to the other books. goes without saying that rc bray killed it as usual

good but not the commune

it's a great story but this is not commune. I've fallen in love with jake and co. this should be a stand alone with a different title. maybe with "a new story in the commune universe"

Inconsistent

This book is up and down, in and out, good and bad. The writing is either very good or awful. There is a point where the similes became so awful that I caught myself groaning out loud. When the story ended, I was glad it was over and I really don't care what happens to the surviving characters in the future. It was something to listen to while painting the ceiling in my hallway and not worth climbing down off the ladder to turn off.
