Publisher's Summary

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…

Just Horrible

Feels like a child wrote this. The performance makes a weak story even worse. Whiny narrator.

"Indeed"

Boy, the authors of this book REALLY like to use the word "indeed". I wish I had a count of how often it was used. It was VERY annoying! Also, the story is pretty boring and none of the characters were likeable. The end.

Great Listen.

I was pulled into this story right from the beginning. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next, and how it was going to end. Very enjoyable listen.

Too much whining but still “ok”

If you can get through all the constant whining in the first several hours of this book it does get better. Really wish they’d not had that in but I listened to it all…actually glad I stuck with it. To me it seems like it would be more for younger folks. If you are a true prepper, this will probably not be the one for you. If you’re a casual listener it’s “ok” especially since it’s just one credit.

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.

stupid characters

Basic things like not knowing to sweep accumulating snow from a roof. Yes there are stupid people but not ones who have lived alone for a long period and survived. Fiona was a little too dumb to be believable.

terrible book

this book is awful girl is more mature than dad. slow moving , boring

Outstanding!

The best read I've had in a long while! Maybe my favorite book!

New Ice Age

What happens when a project goes wrong and creates the next ice age? The authors write a compelling and believable post apocalyptic tale of survival. The characters are well written and flow well together. Loaded with tons of drama and a surprise ending. Very entertaining read.

Tried 3 times but no go

I’ve tried three times to listen to this but I just cannot tolerate this narrator. Every voice he attempts is so whiny I can’t even begin to like or understand the character because my only inclination is to smack them upside their noggin for being such a whiny little dweeb! I really do not like having to return a purchase,however it is pretty clear that I’ll never get past this narrators voice and begin to enjoy whatever story might be hidden underneath this very poor choice of a narrator. Please save your money or credit and pass on this.

decent but...

I was looking forward to listening to this book but I got very bored with the cliché event every time, nearly there then disaster.

survival

I have really enjoyed listening to Endless winter, it's very possible that people could survive in the way the Authors have described and there's always some people who would become violent and want control over others in these circumstances of survival.

A Really Good Story Read Well by Maxwell Zener

Grace Hamilton writes in a very imaginative way. This book has, amongst others, a whinging teenager and an oily park ranger to add extra dimensions to the story. The endless snow and bitter weather provide the framework from which the characters can develop. As with other books by this author, there are elements of cosy preparedness which act as the lure to keep the characters pressing forward facing very real danger as they strive to reach that safety. An excellent read with plenty of adventure and cosy safety to be had! Highly recommended.

The book is read very well allowing you to forget that it is only one person reading many characters. In particular, Maxwell Zener did the whingey teenager well – she could be very aggravating! Well worth buying.

Decent amount of peril and imagination

This feels a very long audio book, but it is broken down effectively into sections, with each one having its own peril and conclusion and so the story moves on. Yes you do have to let your imagine go with it but that is the fun of reading/listening to these types of books. The narration suited the story and all in all would recommend.

Wish I could write a better review, listened to the end still no better.

Very poorly written. Only kept listening as I needed to know what happened. Then just kept despairing as I really don’t think people say or act like these did in certain situations. The only person you got to know was Fiona she kept me going and I really wished I hadn’t bothered.

Poor from the start

Poor don't bother! Badly written and very silly! No more to be said about this one.
