Publisher's summary

He hated the rules until the power grid failed.

Tyler Ford is a tour guide, a brother, and the son of a prepper from Whitefish, Montana. Robbed of a childhood and forced to learn his father’s stringent rules of survival for every kind of apocalypse, he couldn’t wait to leave home, but when an EMP obliterates the United States electrical grid, takes out communication and stalls vehicles, Tyler must face the past and remember what he taught him if he hopes to make it out of Vegas alive.

When chaos erupts, will you know the rules to survive?

Erika Lyons just wanted an evening away from the hectic world of hotel management but she got more than she expected. There’s only one thing worse than a bad date, that’s relying on them to keep you alive. Demanding guests were a challenge, desperate ones, pure hell. As food stops being delivered, vehicles clog up the streets, and society begins to unravel, sin city could be the most dangerous place in America.

In a world without power, fighting to stay alive may be the only rule that matters.

With no warning, no communication, and planes falling out of the sky, the Ford’s may be the only ones who know what it takes to thrive. Can Tyler, and two ordinary strangers survive the perilous journey home to Montana? Can the Ford family hold it together long enough to push back the tide of violence, looters and roving gangs? And will they help the community survive as the world is thrown into darkness?

Rules of Survival is book one in Survival Rules, a post-apocalyptic EMP thriller series following the Ford family and their community as they fight to survive after an EMP destroys the nation’s power grid.

Realistic Survival Fiction

I received a review copy of this audiobook.

I really enjoyed this story. I've enjoyed zombie fiction in the past, but more in spite of the zombies than because of them. This story has basically all that I like from those without the absurdity of undead. I'm not enough of an expert to assess realism in the techniques invoked, but it holds up to my layman's eye.

ok

Listened to whole thing. Not much prepping other than the bag hero always carried. Worth listening to again for that. Blind date experience interesting.

Teotwawki ???? Nope

It seemed to drag along at the beginning. The heroine was unrealistic in her situation and later her situational awareness. Will I continue this series no I don’t believe so.

Great characters

Fast paced post apoc . Plenty of action and some great characters.
Nothing unique in the plot but Jack Hunt is one of the best post apocalypse writer around these days. and as usual delivers great entertainment.
Narration is good clear and concise.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily leave this review. .

good plot, alot of cursing in some parts.

Performance was lacking, sounded like most people owned a plantation in the south, from Boston, or Canadian.
Also strange how traumatic events can happen and the characters be nonchalant a little bit later.

Plot was good. Minor inconsistency with Tyler as a smoker. Will chance the next book, hopefully less foul lang.
