Publisher's summary

Sam and Jane Archer walk out of a backcountry hiking trip into a living nightmare. Their car is vandalized and dead, along with every other vehicle in the trailhead parking lot. Unable to get a cell phone signal, and spooked by a threatening encounter - they resign themselves to a long hike home, suspecting a possible EMP attack against the United States.

What they discover along the way shakes them to the core!

The electrical grid has been down for two weeks, plunging the world as they once knew it into complete chaos. Citizens live in helpless terror of violent gangs, who have declared war on the police and claimed all essential resources for themselves.

Little hope remains, as Jane, a local police officer, and her husband Sam, a military veteran, start the harrowing journey home to save their only daughter Lea - before she is consumed by the madness.

Good listen

I was pleasently surprised with this audio book. It wasn't over the top Rambo style with suited me perfectly since some of the cop based post apocalyptic stuff is.

Exciting read

Read this book quickly, liked the short chapters. Can't wait to read the next one. It was exciting and had a good plot. Would have liked a better ending ... but definitely looking forward to sequel.

Good story & a good start to character development

This one's not an action packed or fast paced thriller yet but I definitely see good character development in the works.

The story is in its early stages & we're just getting to know the heroes & protagonists. I'm looking forward to following along in the adventure.

I'm looking forward to the next installment.

An ok story

The book was not fast paced and only had several exciting moments. The author was more concerned about development of the individual characters and their relationships. Book was ok,but not exciting. Lucky it was not expensive.

Ready for the next one!

I have listened to all 4 books so far. I must say, I really enjoy the different story lines and how they relate to each other. I eagerly anticipate the next book.

800 prisoners escape after "Lights Out".

There were some dull moments and traditional dystopian fiction but there is a redeeming quality also. I would recommend this read.
