Commune

Commune, Book 1

De: Joshua Gayou

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).

When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages.

In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line.

Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild. The communicability and mortality rates are devastating, leaving only small pockets of survivors scattered throughout the countryside.

Commune: Book One is the story of one small group of survivors who must adapt to a primitive, hostile world or die. As they learn the rules of this new era, they must decide how far they're willing to go to continue living, continually asking themselves the same question daily: is survival worth the loss of humanity?

Great!! Buy it now!!!

Really well done!! If 98% of your 150 audio books are post apocalyptic or space sci-fi, then this is a must have for your virtual library!! I also really enjoyed the “history of the commune” setting. Really can’t wait for book 2!! ...and of course R.C. “Skippy” Bray!!!!

Simply amazing

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING regarding Commune was perfect. This was a pleasure to listen to and an excellent start to a series I’ll be interested to hear.

They don't get any better than this!

If you like apocalyptic stories, this is as good as they get. I couldn't put them down until I had finished all three, only to be sorely disappointed that there was actually going to be a book 4 that wasn't yet out, although I was thrilled there was going to be more . . . now I'm waiting anxiously for book 4 to come out in a couple months. Excellent character development and diverse characters. You really become invested in the people and how they'll try to overcome the circumstances thrust upon them. Outstanding series!

(One note: There are a couple reviews that complain about the gun and ammo discussions. I respectfully disagree with them. Personally, I am not a gun person; I don't even own a single gun. But under the circumstances presented in these books, there is no doubt everyone would be scrambling to have guns, and everyone would know details about guns and ammo. I didn't feel there was much gun and ammo discussion at all, and considering the circumstances, I felt it was very appropriate.)

A very enjoyable post-apocalyptic novel

A very enjoyable post-apocalyptic novel. The character interaction and development was well done. Perhaps a little too much firearm emphasis and description, but otherwise was an enjoyable read. Picked up the second book in the series to see if the author can keep my interest. RC Bray as narrator delivered his usual excellent performance.

Buy it! Easily one of the best in the genre.

Well written and keeps your attention. The narration is excellent. If you like this genre, you won't be disappointed.
