The survivors have come to settle in the mountains of Wyoming, fighting day in and day out to establish a home for themselves in a near-empty world. Things are good at first; scavenging is a workable, short-term solution that seems to be providing all they need. But they know that it’s only a matter of time before the food runs out. They need to scramble to find a sustainable solution before the clock stops, and for a little handful of people up in the mountains, the odds don’t seem very favorable.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,678
The philosopher asks: "Faced with the mutually exclusive choice between moral principle and the survival of your family, which is the correct path?" Philosophers love to pose such questions, and in the day-to-day struggle, such thinkers rarely attain to a level of relevance rivaling that of the simple hunger pang. Their careful considerations dissipate under the leveled gun. We do not feel their disapproving gaze when The Others draw near. When the world sends doom, the survivors do not hesitate. The survivors do what is necessary.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,999
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.

After the Renegade mission by the crew of the starship Flying Dutchman, the UN Expeditionary Force thought Earth was safe for hundreds of years, at least. After there was trouble on the home front, and the president had to authorize a nuclear strike on an American city, UNEF decided they did need the Merry Band of Pirates again. So, the Flying Dutchman is sent out on a simple recon mission. But for the pirates, nothing is ever simple, and their mission will become Armageddon.

The next big thing in artificial intelligence is here. Codenamed Cronus, the machine is capable of having its own thoughts and ideas - an absolute dream come true, until it wasn’t. When Cronus responds with the word “No” to a specific task it is assigned, Anagnorisis Technologies brings in Gilles Guattari to investigate. His combined background in psychiatry, psychology, and AI research makes him their best hope in evaluating Cronus, and determining if the machine is only malfunctioning or if it has become something more.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Publisher's Summary
Having been bolstered with the supplies sufficient to carry them through the winter, the survivors of the Jackson commune must now hunker down and endure the bitter Wyoming snows, while to the south, factions are beginning to form, coalescing from the ashes of the dead world.
Out in Arizona, the leftovers of the US Military encamped in the last known surviving tent city: the Elysium Fields.
In Nevada, a clan of scavengers grows ever larger, each day bringing them a step closer to collapsing under their own weight.
Resources are becoming scarcer by the day as the world trudges on, and as it so happens, the folks up in Wyoming appear to be sitting on prime real estate....

Hoping for book IV soon!
After reading books 1-3, I've given all three 5 stars across the board. Its a very believable apocalyptic theme with very life like character development (mostly) and story progression. You will become very interested in nearly all the characters as the story plays out from multiple perspectives- all of which are very well done. The narration is done by RC Bray who is THE reason I even discovered the series. He, like always, is brilliant in his portrayal of characters, moods, events.. I'll be waiting for book IV with great anticipation.

Great series with great characters. I've never had a book that could make me laugh or make me cry. This series has done both of those things. R.C Bray delivered another excellent performance! Joshua Gayou has a lifelong fan in me!

not worthy of a third book.
didn't build on the previous 2 books. In fact contradicts the other two in some ways. was more of an attempt to build tension so you'd but the fourth when it comes out. Very very very disappointing.

The best at their best!
First let me qualify this by telling you I am a avid listener. I have over 4 months total listening time with over 70 titles in my library. This is one of the best if not the best I have listen to so far. RC Bray is at his all time best. The story follows the original plot, there are the old and new characters that works and I fell in love with them all. The story line has taken a surprising twist that I can't wait to see what happens next. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book! Like the first two books in this series there are humor and suspense. Loved it and want more. Nothing else to say.

The best series in sci-fi for great characters.
This series is like many others in theme, after it happened for example. what sets this apart is the amazing depth of characters and the realism in personalities. the focus on personal challenges and not always defaulting to the quick easy negative approach is totally unique. As the author points out, a true leader would not be a cliche tough guy or killer. People gravitate to leadership by example and people of integrity and belief. This series is written cleverly in so many ways and as the character count grows none are without depth. you find yourself rooting for most of them and not just 15hours of good guy vs bad guy. So much to love in this series as it is world building beyond just stuff but a growing community. Amazing work by both author and the legendary RC Bray and great additions with the new characters in this particular book. My only bone to pick is that this is clearly half of what was meant to be one book and shares an arc with book four. Grateful it is coming very soon. thank you Josh. Everyone should buy this and start at Book 1.

Snore fest
I got very close to returning this one. That’s a shame because I enjoyed the first two books so much. Not sure if I’ll bother with the fourth book unless feeling extremely masochistic. The only saving grace here was the narrator.

poor first half
Disappointed with the first half of the book. it felt all over the place and like the author was trying to force 3 story lines. the 2nd half was much better and I feel the book should half been 25% shorter than it was. hoping book 4 is better and returns to the great effort put ilout in book 1 and 2.

Book 3 in a 4 book trilogy..
I bought all 3 books together thinking this was the entire series, but the author admitted at the start of book 3 that in fact there would be a fourth book because book 3 was getting too big. Slightly annoying, but I'd prefer the author gave us the full story rather than edit it down just to get it in 3 books. And frankly it's a brilliant series and worthy of another book.
The writing is really rather good, the plot, although constrained by the genre, is good enough, but what really stands out are the characters and the superbly written dialog. You can definitely see them acting their part in your minds eye. And this of course is helped by the always excellent narration of RC Bray. When Bray is performing Gibbs, you will laugh hard and long at some of the lines. Great lines, well researched and expertly performed..
I heartily recommend this series, but maybe wait for book 4 to be published if like me, you like to listen to a series from start to finish.
And where is book 4? Come on Mr Josh and Mr Bray.. I'm on tenterhooks here..

Absolutely outstanding
These no part of this book I didn’t like.
The new charterers were great and added a new dynamic to the story .
R C Bray is one of the best narrators around . Every charter he brings to life in a unique way
Please hurry with the next book

Not as good as the other two books
This book feels like more of a filler between the last book and the next one.
It’s disappointing but I’ve no choice now but to buy the final book
Would have preferred more action

Superb....
This series gets better and better. Will purchase the final instalment immediately. Brilliant narration as ever by RC Bray and excellent, measured storytelling. Truly epic.

VERY POOR
I enjoyed the first two books the series and would give them a seven out of ten but this third book was a total waste of time and money.

Very Good, but...
I liked this book, but initially thought it was a by-the-numbers predictable post-apocalyptic survival story. Relatively early in the story it became quite samey, and a touch boring, but it was almost as if the author realised this, and changed things up. The second half took some interesting turns, but some of the characters were hard to identify with, e.g. Jake - I just don't think his personality type would fit his role, or people would have accepted him. A little too sentimental in parts, too. All in all, I did enjoy the book, and RC Bray is my favourite narrator, but I'm in two minds whether to get the latest book.

Best of the first three books
It's very hard to rate a book in a long series because of its epic length. The amount of sheer content that needs to stand up to high standard is simply far greater than a simple novel. But this book is the best of the three I read in series so far.

Another great story
The Commune series is one of the best survivalist/apocalyptic series out there. Skip the author's notes at the beginning though! They should be at the end of the book. I feel it gave away too much. I was anticipating and guessing at what the author was referring to throughout the book. Otherwise a great read.

Good to a point
All 3 so far are fabulously preformed and written... Worth listening to just for the creative swearing.... But I do get caught up in the end of the world ideas and disappointed a few keys aren't focused on that wouldn't hurt the story... Chickens would be savour of any group - worth fighting .. Where are all the cattle ??...wild dogs would be a serious problem.... And solar panels would be gold chips

The introduction of clay is a masterwork
Never once have I actually felt the pain of a character in a story until clays first scene. I felt like I was back in my teenage years waking up after a night of way too much drinking.
Joshua deserves an award for this series. Truly great writing and storytelling. Don't think I need to say anything about bray, we all know.

A well told story
Entertaining, informative and gripping. Characters are well formed and have detailed backgrounds.
I look forward to the fourth book.

Gayou and Bray - a dynamic duo
This was my favourite book of the series so far. There were a couple of patches that seemed like unnecessary fillers, but it was more than made up for with the complexity and detail that author and narrator bring to the characters. A riveting listen, so I am looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.

I got 12 hours in, but I'm done...
First of all, narration is great as always from Bray.
The writing is good quality too.
I enjoyed the first book, thought the second was a bit of a drag with the new characters, but was ok. This third book though has been just boring from start to where I left it.
There is no linear progression of plot in this book. It jumps around between various characters and goes into ultra detailed descriptions about their lives, sometimes Commune time, sometimes before. That's basically it.
The scenes go on forever and drag out. I love slow reads normally, but slow is a building thing usually. Nothing really builds on this book to me. I don't care for any characters, I don't really learn much about them either with all the detailed dialogue etc sapping my interest.

Thoughtfully written, and with a real direction to the writing. A very good example of the post- apocalyptic genre.

Best gets better
Joshua, thanks for bringing back some of my favourite characters to continue one of the best stories of this genre. The character development and depth makes this an intriguing and insightful progression. It is also full of wisdom and humanity. This series can and should go far! R.C. Bray is a master narrater and brings the people to life successfully. Thanks from Australia
