Publisher's summary

Nathan has been a prepper all his life - but just how prepared can one man be when faced with a 2,000-mile walk through hell itself?

In the second installment of Thomas A. Watson's explosive prepper classic, the long-predicted Coronal Mass Ejection has arrived, destroying civilization. Nathan Owens has been prepping for a disaster like this for years.

But when it occurs, he is far from his family and his refuge. He has to pull together a team of young survivalists and, as he reluctantly leads them across the hellscape of what was once the United States, Nathan has to ask himself - what else is he willing to do for them?

In the midst of this treacherous journey, Nathan discovers that crucial information has been withheld from the public - and maybe Armageddon wasn't an accident of nature after all. But how can he prove it - before it's too late?

I love the sense of humor, the matter of fact way he deals with everything. The way he gets so attached to these kids.

I love this series

great book!!! Thomas A. Watson is one of my favorite authors.
the narrator isn't the best but still completely worth it

A great Watson saga

Continuing on in the Titan Series, Watson takes you on a journey home and trials faced from a world gone dark

Genuinely Smart & Generous Main Character

Chris Abernathy does a great job narrating except in 1 regard...his unnecessary emphasis on the word "and". It does set him apart enough that I'll always be able to recognize his reading, but it detracts enough from the storyline to make me concentrate on possible grammatical errors instead of just enjoying the story. Often found myself thinking, author could have just used a comma, or the words "then" , "instead of" , "but" or "however"...SMH

As to the story, Nathan Owens ends up creating his own tribe. Emma is a serious trip (read the story because I'm not telling more than that, lol). I know it's supposed to show intelligence when a woman questions every decision a man makes, but Jasmine actually comes across as shallow, thoughtless and flat out stupid when it comes to her insistence on near nudity for sleeping, especially in a time when many women are being raped all around them. Besides, there are small girls who are learning about how to be women in this "new" world that are looking at her for direction. Nathan is clearly an oddity, a gentleman in spite of the loss of cultural norms. Makes him more likeable, but Jasmine much less so. Sooner or later someone is going to injure 1 of their group enough that all of the attention won't be on her. She's not wearing enough clothing to have any barriers to being assaulted or having some body part chewed off by a cannibal. Having clothing pulled on for removal by an attacker gives her time to wake up and fight back. Ok, enough said on that topic. Great prepper tips and reasonable situations where training provides the edge needed to come out on top. It's very refreshing to see Nathan training the kids to survive rather than leaving them unprepared targets. So many stories show characters foolishly doing everything to try to maintain normalcy in a world that will never be normal again, resulting in unnecessary attacks that happen directly because the kids tell things they shouldn't or draw attention that ends up being dangerous! I always tell those around me the truth, training like Nathan does, so I really appreciate a story that finally has a genuinely smart and generous main character.

One of.the best series I have listened to.......

I have listened to over 100 audio books almost all dystopian works. This series has to be the best I've come across.

The main character is excellent......unlike so many wimpy lead characters in other series. A John Wayne persona.......I can't wait for the next episode!

a superb writing style...,...

Much better than the First.

The narrator was much better. I am looking forward to seeing if Nathan can make it home with out losing anyone. The first book was good. This one will make you want more.

Author is getting better with each book!

Series just got better! Hard to say which series I enjoy Forgotten Forbidden American is also a great listen! Love the Dogs in both of them!

Another Good Read. keep it coming.
