If you liked Jakarta Pandemic, get this series.

By starting a "new" series with "The Perseid Collapse" Steven Konkoly didn't even try to "up sell" you on this book.

If you listened to the Jakarta Pandemic this series ties in quite well, however, if you didn't listen to JP, then you don't feel like you missed the start of the series.

I'm now waiting for Book 3 :)

Can't wait....

Where does The Perseid Collapse rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The story line drew me in right away and kept my interest. I didn't realize there was a prequel so now I HAVE to get the first book and also the 2nd in the trilogy series in order to get the end of the story!!

Must Listen

Any additional comments?

just finished book 2...cannot wait until 3 is released

Hopeful

I was excited to hear this after The Jakarta Pandemic, which I firmly believe is one of the best stories of the genre. I was glad to be back with these characters and hear how things continue after the pandemic. For the most part, I wasn't disappointed, the story was pretty engaging. The only issue is that it ended too abruptly and it seems they really could have continued on and found a better point to leave off until the next installment. That said, I will be anticipating the 2nd and I do recommend this one, especially if you were left wanting more after Jakarta.

Teaser

Good action story well told by the reader. Main negative about this book is that it ends abruptly almost mid sentence. I have come to expect this from writers trying to lure new audiences to their series.

Even better than the first!!!

This is considered a new series, but it's really an awesome sequel to the Jakarta Pandemic! I can't wait to listen to the rest!

It's Left me Hanging!

On to book two! If you want to know what happens after an EMP, this is a good place to start! I guarantee you will think about starting to prepare for the unknown! PS--Glad I read The Jakarta Pandemic prequel first!

be prepared

believable story line for a real life disaster. I hope this never happens in our time.

Ehhh

This book pales in comparison to the Jakarta Pandemic. But I'm invested in the characters. I'm going onto the next book. We'll see.

Disappointed in the wives

Would you listen to The Perseid Collapse again? Why?

absolutely.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Perseid Collapse?

The whole book was great!

What about John David Farrell’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed it very much.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to the whole series, one after another.

Any additional comments?

My only concern/irritation was that, with the exception of Linda, The wives just can't seem to figure out what is going on or what to do next. The "men" have to constantly explain every little detail to them while they worry about curse words and other unimportant things.
