Flashpoint: The Complete Series

By: Tara Ellis, Mike Kraus

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

If your life dissolved in a flash, would you be strong enough to survive?

Half of the earth's population has been wiped out. Impossible to predict or stop, the Gamma Ray Burst tore through the Earth like a bullet, its radiation wave killing hundreds of millions, and the after effects ensuring the deaths of billions more.

Now, as the world crumbles around them, a ragtag group of survivors make for the only home they know: the small town of Mercy. Spared the worst of the GRB's effects, the town is isolated, safe, and self-sufficient, for now.

The flash hasn't just decimated the Earth's population though. It's brought out the worst in many of those who are still alive. Survival in this new world doesn't just depend on preparedness-it depends on strength.

*****

It's the one disaster no one can plan for. A rogue cosmic event called a Gamma Ray Burst, sending a spike of radiation through the earth like a .50 caliber bullet through a ripe watermelon. It's speculated that such an event hit the Earth at some point in the past, causing a mass extinction event. With two potential sources for a GRB pointed directly at our heads, the chances of another one happening in our lifetime is remote...but still possible.

In Flashpoint, we explore such an event and the havoc it would wreak across the entire planet. From destroying our atmosphere to millions dying from incredibly painful radiation exposure, a GRB would be unpredictable and unavoidable for everyone, rich and poor, prepared and unprepared alike.

Flashpoint is a six-book miniseries-like event, written by Tara Ellis and best-selling post-apocalyptic author Mike Kraus. This thrilling post-apocalyptic survival series will have you second-guessing the very nature of post-apocalyptic disaster scenarios and leave you breathless. This complete edition of this series consists of all six books in the Flashpoint series.

Perfectly fine series that should have been one book

This story was fine. Perfectly decent way to spend a token.

I wish the author(s) would do a touch more research . Marines are marines, army is soldier, navy is sailor, Air Force is airman. There are literal style guides on this stuff. While a regular civilian could call everyone soldiers, a marine would not refer to him self as a soldier, particularly an enlisted marine.

Enlisted people are not addressed as SIR. Ever. It is actually considered an insult to refer to an enlisted person (who works for a living) as a sir the title for a commissioned officer who don’t do manual labor.

If you’re going to write a story that include military and which they are also the antagonist that is literally gunning down civilians, maybe actually know something about the culture.

I wish it would have leaned more into the survivalist nature.

I audibly groaned when I realized the hidden family connection. Not to mention the pure ex machia nature of the control of the mcguffin.

The vignettes of the people facing their doom were probably the best part of the book. I wish there was a little longer dead end threads.

Characters skills continued to just be whatever the story needed to advance the plot. One character just seem to be getting very complex skill added as footnotes as the story evolved.

Horse stuff is always great.

Description of Montana were great
