Going Home

A Novel

De: A. American

Narrado por: Duke Fontaine

If society collapsed, could you survive?

When Morgan Carter’s car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: the country’s power grid has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be restored—if it ever will be. An avid survivalist, Morgan takes to the road with his prepper pack on his back.

During the grueling trek from Tallahassee to his home in Lake County, chaos threatens his every step but Morgan is hell-bent on getting home to his wife and daughters—and he’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Fans of James Wesley Rawles, William R. Forstchen's One Second After, and The End by G. Michael Hopf will revel in A. American's apocalyptic tale.

Very good series!

Normally after 3 books a series gets stale, however, A. American has managed to hook me in, and now I'm waiting for book 4 to come out this summer.

A mix of 1 Second After, and the failure of society after a Zombie attack, this time the "Zombies" are the DHS; who doesn't like to hate the DHS?

I wouldn't want to call this a "Prepper" book, however, I like that this book made me think about the story, even after listening to the 3 books in the series. If you're thinking about becoming a "Prepper", this book is going to make you think more then you may have before. Are you really ready?

Fontaine does a really good job keeping you in the story, so even with 3 books it's not sounding old.

Was much better than I was expecting

First let me say that this is a series of 3 books but there must be a fourth one that's not yet written at the time of this review (11-24-13) I would like to tell you to read this but be warned that book 3 ends with no real ending and there isn't at this time a book 4 so if you are one of those people that doesn't like that sorta thing just wait and see if book 4 comes out


I must say that I was not expecting this to be so good but after listening to the sample I thought I would have to give it a try so I did and I was glad. This is a really plausible story and I would believe that something like this is in the works now.

Without ruining anything you know the power is out everywhere and most all electronics and cars don't work so people are screwed for the most part unless you planed for something like this and prepared by storing stuff.

The only thing that kept this from a 5 star rating was the way some things were handled, I understand its the authors story to tell but there were some things that seemed obvious to me to avoid and I am not a prepper like the character in the book.

Morgan is the buy and he has to get home to his wife and 3 girls which is 250 miles away and he has to walk, so you can assume that something crazy is going to happen on the way, even if the "event" or whatever it should be called didn't happen like in this book walking 250 miles home you are probably going to encounter some crazy stuff so now that there is no real communications and most all cars don't work no power people are acting really crazy.

From the title of book 2 you know he gets home so that's no real surprise but you will probably not expect what happens to happen, but like I said in the beginning of the review - read below again.

Interesting!

Well written and very realistic story. The writing is consistent and the character development is good. The narrator is pretty good. I personally prefer a narrator who sounds like they are telling the story rather than reading it from a script (the latter seems to be the case here) but this narrator has a nice, smooth voice and his character voice tones are believable (no weird, irritating, or squeaky female voices). Overall, I am enjoying this book and will have no problem finishing the series (4 books in all so far).

Cant believe the NEG reviews. This book is A+
