Publisher's summary

"We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." -Benjamin Franklin in the Continental Congress before signing the Declaration of Independence

Set against the backdrop of the isolated forests north of New Hampshire's White Mountains, while camping on family land, Tom and Lori Thornton (and their dog, Buck) find themselves in a sudden SHTF scenario.

No cellular service. Dangerous roads. Limited supplies. And far more questions than answers.

After the shocking murder of Tom's uncle by a band of looters, the couple's already faltering marriage reaches the breaking point amid the chaos. Trust and loyalties are challenged, old friendships are put to the test, and while immediate answers and solutions elude them, they must rely on raw instincts in order to survive.

Good overall

It was good, a little too much profanity.what also seems to be some major past trauma being put in with crazy wives.

Unique

What a creative way to tell a back story! I am so glad for a post-apocalyptic story without zombies.

Ended abruptly

The story was ok, narrator was great. The ending is too fast.
Ps. Audible says I gotto to add 15 words minimum, so here you go.

A Perfect Blend

I am not only pleasantly surprised but also quite enamored with this authors brilliant style. The attention to detail as well as the sheer time, dedication and challenge it takes to write a book in this genre of this caliber, is quite impressive and uncommon to say the least! the narration was fabulous as well, I have always enjoyed the voice of Paul Costanzo.

Mr. Underhill, please continue your efforts, I am positive that you will strike novelic gold at this rate.

Paul, you know I appreciate your work, keep up the fantastic work my friend!

Pretty good…

Liked a lot of the writing, the inner monologue and the uncertainty of the character. Great narrator. Story took sharp turn 90% of the way through and totally lost me.

Abrupt ending

Dream sequence really? The end felt very unsatisfying. The narrator was good. Enjoyed listening to him.

Cheesy

This started ok, wrapped up like a 7th grade essay, “and then they woke up”. Pretty weak attempt.

Not the worst

Not the worst post-apocalyptic series I’ve read but close. Lacked character development, action, and story. I liked the twist at the end of the first book (that’s the only reason I went on to the second) but they never developed that story line.

DNF - False synopsis

DNF 4h10 min in. Why waste 3.5+ hrs torturing us about his mentally unstable wife only to have her killed off while he’s in some kind of drug-induced ‘dream of remembrance’? And if drugs supposedly wear off “quickly”, then why the hell are we wasting time listening to his buddy explain all that’s happened in the 4 yrs since she died?
Not a true apocalypse story.
Story does not flow smoothly.
Main character spends way too much time calling himself stupid and belittling himself over the dumbest things (pun?).
Awesome narration.
