Deception

Dark Road, Book Seven

De: Bruno Miller

Narrado por: Andrew Tell

Are there any decent people left?

Having reached his kids in Maryland, Ben is faced with the challenge of crossing the country once more and getting everyone safely home to Colorado.

The struggle to survive is the only constant in their otherwise unpredictable lives. With each passing day, Ben becomes increasingly cynical about the state of mankind and worries that the children will grow up to feel the same.

Remaining vigilant is no guarantee that they will avoid problems on the journey back. Even when things seem safe, danger and evil lurk in the shadows. Letting their guard down means inviting trouble.

Ben knows that the protection he provides for his children has limits and in the end, they must learn to fight for themselves if they are to make it home. But the hardest lesson comes when Ben’s two youngest, Bradley and Emma, discover that things are not always what they seem on the road.

Too slow-both the story and the narrator

I am interested in the outcome, but simply couldn't handle the pacing any longer. Need to strike a better balance between the introspective nature of this tale and the story itself.
The narrator was talented, but also so very slow and deliberate in his speech. I sped it up and it sounded more natural.

Pretty good

Pretty good story line. Main character is supposed to be a Ranger but the type of mistakes made by him wouldn’t be made by any Ranger I ever knew. He walks into a few “traps” that are pretty apparent. A few of the gun references are not well researched, i.e selector switches in AR style weapons do not have “Automatic.” Also, Desert Eagle .50s are the least practical handgun that has ever been invented. I’m not sure why every writer in every book has to have a Desert Eagle. The author uses a lot pejorative terms when referencing people from Appalachia which comprise a majority of the antagonists. Otherwise, good book series. Good story line. Pretty well done.

Enjoyable, But...

This addition to the series was enjoyable, except for the fact that the situation they ended up in at the end of the book should never have happened. Given his training and experience, Ben should really have known better. I just found the whole scenario implausible. Plus, this book felt too short to warrant the price..

Good story

This is an interesting story… not too dramatic or overly unrealistic. It keeps you engaged and wanting to hear what’s next.

Filler

This book was slower but ended abruptly. Leaving this an okay story. I move the speed to 1.5

actually

do your homework an EMP is incapable of disrupting the earths magnetic field. the earths magnetic field is caused by the earth rotation in conjunction with the molten metal outer core just saying

waste of time and credit

series went down hill after book 5. book 7 went absolutely nowhere until the end! you have to get book 8 to see what happens! find another mark to fleece, I'll be l looking for another series

rick grimes dumber

this ben led troops in war zone very far fetched. first five books good then Ben gets stupid reminded me of Rick in termines explaining not to be like a rabbit to caril the leading them into a obvious trap .the author has lost his audience .

too much filler

the emotional status and thought process fills up most the book and doesn't give much action.

Meh

obviously being the 7th book there is several parts of the story which I like enough to make it this far along, that being said the small issues I had in 1-5 are now multiplied by 50. The fact that Ben is this Ranger who's a pretty big Bad A** when needing to be he the introduction of the two children now along with them who are extremely annoying he seems to have lost all of his abilities to be aware because he's more worried about hurting their feelings or having to force them into seeing things they shouldn't, it's the apocalypse FFS they have to grow up, a regular dad I get but a battle hardened Army Ranger wouldn't lose sight of that
