Story
This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with many nuclear bombs detonated around the planet. It was no longer a topic of conversation around the dinner table as in years past. Nobody was prepared, including the world's governments. Yet the threat was always real, and the devastation was predictable. The damage was incalculable. Millions died at the points of impact. Nuclear winter spread across the globe. A rapidly cooling climate shocked humanity and all living things...to their death.

Story
In his last mission, Conor Maguire was called back into action by his handler, Ricardo, to go after a man who helped facilitate the terror attacks that devastated America. When Ricardo next pays Conor a visit, it's at the behest of a shadowy collective of patriots determined to purge the government of those who sold out the nation. It should have been a simple mission, a short trip to "punch tickets" in the way that Conor had successfully done hundreds of times around the world. But nothing in this mission will be simple.

Story
When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

Very good with a couple of irritations
I enjoyed this book overall and I'm a big fan of authors that stay true their characters, but unfortunately this one doesn't quite do that. The majority of the characters do, but Madison most definitely does not. One minute she's resolute in her accepting the situation and what needs to be done (sometimes ugly things and sometimes selfish things) and the next minute she's whining about needing to divert to save a stranger even though the odds of success aren't good. She never manages to shake her 'people are actually all good if you just get to know them' and 'we have to help people even if it means one of us might die' notion. I understand people would definitely have an internal struggle with this, but her struggle is every chapter and just makes you wanna slap her.
If you get past that, like I said I enjoyed the book. It's nothing new along the lines of post apocalyptic, but I think it is a pretty accurate account of what life would be like within weeks of an event. The narration is awesome, switching between the 3 family members with 3 different readers. I would definitely recommend this book.

Good if you are a teenager
Stopped listening with 1.5 hours left to go. Did not want to listen to the immature, irrational characters.
Spoiler Alert: Major mistakes of characters - trying to help strangers or people they barely knew over their own immediate families with bad results. Tracy hesitant to shoot a man pointing a shotgun as her daughter and talking when immediate action was needed. Threatening instead of action - threats a sign of weakness, broadcasts your intention. Brianna, Payton, Madison - college kids with college kid minds.
One good quote - Never ok to give up.
Nice information about sustainable gardening
Disrespect for headship - Tracy over riding her husband's decision when he was right. Madison thinking she knew more than her Dad. Madison had already encouraged a disastrous course when instead of going to the refuge, they went to try to rescue college students and walked into a trap getting members of their group killed. Then Madison decides she wants to take revenge. That is when I stopped listening.
Madison had not learned from the previous mistake - just focus on getting to your bugout location. Revenge is a stupid motive and a time waster.
The women and kids seemed mushy brained. The Dad should have gone with his gut instincts on 2 separate occasions.
I would have preferred more examples of good sense.
This might be enjoyable to a teenager.

Too much hand ringing
I tried to give this book a chance, but in the end I just can’t give this book a good review. It’s hard for me because I don’t like to be critical. I mean some one put their heart and soul into this book. But, the author just needs to try again. Here is some advice. Once a character makes a decision...let that be it!! There was way too much agonizing over past decisions! Let your characters get a grip! I realize they are Californians, but even they can get it together. This group would have never made it out of their neighborhood. The narrators were good.

most infuriating characters
Usually with survival/EMP stories you start to like and care about the characters and worry about if they survive or not. The characters in this books were all so naive and ignorant it's a surprise they survived the first few days at all. I couldn't stand how whiny and childish the main character Maddison was. I only listened for about 6 hrs before I couldn't stand it anymore. It was like listening to the same conversation over and over again; there's no power! we can't go to the police! we have to save these strangers! The narrorators did a nice job, and the story line could have been okay it was just the bickering and constant bad dissicions of the characters.

Finally a realistic story
Finally a book that doesn’t involve the main characters owning thousands of dollars worth of automatic weapons and hand grenades and a friend with a blackhawk helicopter. Realistic characters, who struggle with the inevitable moral decisions that will be encountered in a end of the world event. Very enjoyable story, well told and well written.

A little less than exciting
This was a decent enough book. I wouldn't give it a complete thumbs down. But it has nothing new to add to the genre and it lacked excitement. I enjoyed some of the characters, the mother was interesting, but the author was sure to kill off any characters with a weakness rather than have them grow through the storyline. It became easy to tell which characters would die. There is a lot of hypocritical proselytizing such as the main characters ranting about looters while on their way to loot a department store or break into someone's house. I eventually ended up sleeping through most of the last part of the book and I probably won't go back to it for a while.

I really wanted it to be good
It started out strong. It was a nice change having female characters in a SHTF situation that were more than just rape bait. The Voice acting was good.
...BUT
The story fell apart from about half way through. All the “bad guys” seemed unrealistic.
Mostly the “heroes and heroines” of out tale blunder in to a place, with the intention of taking resources that weren’t theirs and come across someone else with the same intention. Then for some reason the other people are assumed to be “bad” and the “good” guys and gals set to attacking them.
By the end of the story it really seems that the main protagonists are just the type of self entitled, dangerous folks you would want to avoid in a societal collapse.
