Publisher's summary

Amid chaos, tyranny rises. Freedom demands a price....

As the United States unravels, the town of Fall Creek, Michigan struggles to survive. Hannah and Liam have endured the brutal winter and ruthless adversaries, but the threat has never been greater.

Enemies from within have wrested control of the town — including what little remains of the food. Isolated, overpowered, and on the verge of starvation, the townspeople are faced with a desperate choice.

To be free, Fall Creek may have to sacrifice more than they ever thought possible.

When the country goes dark, ordinary people find themselves facing the end of the world as they know it. As society collapses before their eyes, they'll have to risk everything to protect their home and the people they love.

From USA Today best-selling Author Kyla Stone comes the fifth installment in the Edge of Collapse series. Featuring flawed, complex characters and fast-paced action adventure, this survival thriller is perfect for fans of Franklin Horton, Tom Abrahams, and Jack Hunt.

Rated PG-13 for mild language and moderate violence.

whoa!

this whole series is amazing. I bought 1 book and bought the rest shortly after. i cannot wait till the next book. Only knock i had.. was very small... very..... very....small. a glock 19 holds 15+1... HOWEVER... IT CAN TAKE G17 MAGS.. which hold 17+1. Spec op guys would want a flush fitting mag on their service pistol and maybe carry a 17 mag as back up. lol but the story and narrator are an awesome combination.. book was amazing 👏

Just When You Thought the End was Near

I was given this free review copy audio-book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is for the audio copy of Edge of Defiance: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller-Edge of Collapse, Book 5 by Kyla Stone and narrated by Stacey Glemboski. So, as we have worked through the local issues with the current batch of very bad people…, and resolved the current crises, and thought the story was coming to an end. Voila: enter the anarchists and the story continues! Very good story line with consistent character development and follow through. Stacey is the voice of this series. Her narration is flawless!

Showdown in Fall Creek

If there's anyone thinking of listening to this 5th book in the 'Edge of Collapse' series without prior knowledge of the rest of the series, I strongly advise you to read/listen to the first 4 books before venturing into this one. Kyla Stone does give some rudimentary information about characters and previous situations here, but not enough to let it stand alone, in my opinion. Plus, you may consider my review to be spoiler-y for the series.

Tensions are about to boil over between the residents of Fall Creek and Rosamond and the militia. Hannah, Liam, Quinn and the other townspeople prepare to eliminate the despotic Rosamond and her minion militia members. Noah continues to purposely turn a blind eye and deliberately deny the truth of what's happening to his town. Which side will win? Who will survive?

There's as much action and suspense here as is typical for a post-apocalyptic story. Kyla Stone has a gift of building tension in her writing. I have to say though, it's all about the character development for me. Here are some thoughts on the characters:

Hannah being held captive for 5 years should have broken her but her spirit and determination stay strong. My hand-down favorite post-apocalyptic hero is Liam. A man who previously felt undeserving now accepts the respect and love of an entire town. I fear Quinn has some tough times ahead due to the emotional trauma endured during recent months. She's got a tough exterior but is very vulnerable inside. I can't help but love Milo too. He doesn't let his disease define him. He's got bravery to spare. Noah just makes me sigh and shake my head. Kyla Stone does a wonderful job giving the reader a glimpse into Rosamond's motivations. It makes her become more than a one-dimensional villain.

I hope the previous paragraph conveys, in its roundabout way, how great Stone's writing is. She delivers a believable plot with complex characters that draw the reader in completely.

I enjoyed the ending of this book too. Stone has a tendency to cliffhanger her endings, but not so with this one. This installment's main storyline is concluded in a nice place. There is a short epilogue that does a good job of setting up what is to come in Book 6. I'm looking forward to it.

A riveting performance is provided by the stellar voice of Stacey Glemboski. She helps Stone's characters feel like real-life people.

This audiobook was provided to me as a free review copy that I requested. I have written this voluntary review upon listening to it.

Highly Recommended.

Love it

I legitimately love this series. I am an army special ops vet and I truly appreciate Kyla’s mind. The narrator is one of my favorites too. The twisted gnarled story continues to increase my interest. Please continue to write more Kyla. Thank you.

Excellent!

I read the book and loved it, but there is just something about listening to it that gives you so much more. The story line is excellent and the narration is amazing. This series is one of my all time favorites. I am so happy the story will continue. If you haven't had a chance to get this series put it on your list!

Well done to Kyla Stone and Stacey Glemboski!
