Enduring Armageddon

By: Brian Parker

Narrated by: James Amherst

The world as we know it is destroyed when a regional conflict spins out of control, pulling other nations into the war. Most major population centers are vaporized in the ensuing chaos, throwing millions of tons of dirt and ash into the atmosphere to block out the sun and create a nuclear winter.

A new age of lawlessness begins. The void created by the destruction of our central government is filled by local warlords who struggle against each other to provide resources for their people. These clashes threaten to destroy the last vestiges of humanity as the basic needs of food, water, and shelter take precedence over everything else.

From the ruins of the irradiated wastes emerge the bloodthirsty scavengers and a dangerous new breed of creature known as the Changed, who are intent on the annihilation of the human race.

A small group of survivors from Illinois attempts to escape further south away from the deepening cold and increasing anarchy. Along the way, they discover that the true monsters are not the mutants of the wastes; instead the enemy that they must fear the most is their fellow man.

Nice Take on the Nuclear Zombie Genre

Interesting characters, a fast moving story line and some new twists give new life to the over saturated zombie genre. The author doesn't shy away from some of the nasty things that will probably happen in a post collapse world, but doesn't linger on them either. The story follows the survival progression of an unprepared couple as they blunder through nuclear war, zombies and nasty survivors. Pretty much every post apocalyptic group or scenario is encountered, but nicely handled with good writing and new twists.
James Amherst does a good job of narrating a lot of characters with no distracting mannerisms or accents.
I was given this free audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Must read!

Great story, great narration and keeps you hooked.
Definitely want next in series RN! (Sorta a new take on zompoc genre!)

Holy Amazeballs!!!

WTF?!! I can't decide if Mr. Parker is the most amazing author ever, or if he's compensating for something by writing way better than everyone else. This book is packed cover-to-cover with action, intense moments of defecation, and human barbeque. You really can't go wrong with all of these special ingredients mixed into one meatloaf of a winner. Read it and you'll understand.

Great Story

Refreshing take on the zombie nuclear apocalypse genre.

Narration was excellent, characters had unique voices.

Different

A good apocalyptic tale. A man that was an financial advisor, no preppier skills helps a group survive after a nuclear attack. Moves through time quickly, not a day to day survival tale. New take on “zombie” type creatures and the physical aftermath to on humans who survive the nuclear fallout. Nuclear winter and the normal evil groups building their kingdom. Some pretty gory parts but a good listen. Wondering if they’ll be a second book. Hope so. Kinda like Chuck.
