Endless Winter

By: Riley Miller, Grace Hamilton

Narrated by: Maxwell Zener

A brutal new Ice Age covers the Earth…

When an experiment to reverse climate change goes disastrously wrong, Jarred and his daughter Hope are forced to head south in search of warmth. This manmade eternal winter shows no signs of stopping, and with temperatures continuing to plummet, fears of a new Ice Age drive survivors into a panic.

Jarred and Hope don’t have the wilderness skills needed to survive this disaster. But when their car spins out of control, they’re forced to fend for themselves in the ruthless and unforgiving forest surrounding them. And as they journey through the snow-swept wilderness, they slowly discover they are not alone….

Survivalist Fiona knows how to deal with a harsh winter on her own, but this new world is deadly. She’s got a cabin stockpiled, and is all alone until she runs across Benjy, a forest ranger who’s ready to help, but has his own reasons for staying with her.

Civilization is crumbling. There’s no electricity. The cold is getting worse, and resources are scarce. To survive, Jarred and Hope will have to find allies they can trust, and push themselves harder than they ever imagined. Because even a moment’s weakness in this harsh icy wasteland can mean only one thing.

Freezing to death in the merciless cold…

Overall just alright. You can definitely do better

I personally felt the first half or so of the book was a slog to get through. The action takes a while to get to and the first several chapters are what I think is a boomer's idea of what people like about post apocalyptic stories, constant blabbering about furniture, and how this is gonna affect their finances and blah blah blah. The second half is far more interesting hearing about the groups survival. I found the narrator's voice quite whiny at times and I think he might need a better microphone that doesn't produce so much feedback when he puts on a higher pitch voice. You can definitely do better for one credit though.

Surprised any survived- highly illogical.

The narrator apparently doesn't like women- made them all sound whiney and annoying. And crutch is not pronounced like crotch.

Glad I stuck with it!

It took forever to get the plot moving, but once it did it turned into a pretty good story. It almost feels like the author(s) need to learn how to plan and execute writing a novel. There were sub-plots that they spent a decent amount of time developing early on in the story that ended up not really contributing to the story later. In a couple of cases it kind of leaves you wondering where they had planned on using them later. Another book? Overall I'm glad that I stuck with it, but I probably will stay away from future 20+hr books by this author in the future.

Good story of found family

The story and character progression were good. Really enjoyed how the circumstances brought everyone together and the self doubt of the groups abilities added complexity to the character progression. The narrator took some getting used to, but towards the end it worked for the story.

Endless Winter, Part One

Endless Winter, Part One, is the apocalyptic saga featuring Fiona, Jared, Hope, Zain, and the other community members as they join together to survive the cold and growing snow levels on Fiona's land. When the house and barn roofs begin to fail, the group decides to make the dangerous trek to Snow Bird Cavern while avoiding wild animals, lawless people, and cults. This thrilling audio book leads to Part Two of the series.
I received an audiobook via the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
