Publisher's summary

Joe and his band of intrepid survivors have joined a larger group of survivalists. They are making life much better by implementing mutual-assistance groups that help protect each other and barter among themselves.

While life is getting better, there are still threats to handle and pains to endure. The loss of a several loved members rocks the group and shakes its faith. Joe and Cobie make sure the group uses the pain to make the group stronger as they fight to rid Oregon and Northern California of gangs and slavers.

Life is tough in the apocalypse, but this band is a tough bunch of survivors.

Loved Joe’s Grandmas letters.

Overall I enjoyed the series with one exception. Too much killing without confirmation of who they were killing, they only assumed they were bad people then saying after the fact who they were...maybe. Shoot, ask questions later.

I liked the compound they made out of shipping containers and their family life. I grew up in Medford and know the area well, my brother lives in a cabin on Dead Indian Rd. Mostly everything was as described, with a few exceptions, probably because this is fiction. This (location) was the reason I got the series.

I look forward to the next series but hope there isn’t so much “shoot, ask questions later” type killing.

I always enjoy a series ender, and yet.... :)

I always enjoy a series ender, watching plots pay off and wrap up is very satisfying and if I am lucky the author gives a glimpse at what the characters lifes are like afterwards. This book does all of that AND hints at a new series in the saga just getting geared up.

Terrific Trilogy

I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed this series.

There was always action, sometimes, sadness, and the characters were quite humorous at times.

Kevin Pierce is one of the BEST narrators and Sara Morsey did her part great as well!

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.
