Publisher's summary

One day changed the world forever.

Billions died. A small handful of survivors braved the apocalyptic wasteland to start again.

This is their story.

Salvation

The bunkers were built for the apocalypse. Just not the one they expected.

Life was bad and getting worse in the depths of Salvation. It did not take the people of Level Three long to realize that the only reason they had been spared from the cataclysm was to become a slave class.

Now, a single accident has changed everything. Fear is spreading like a virus. Rumors become facts the moment they’re spoken. Neighbor is turning against neighbor. And time is running out fast.

For most, this signals the end. For Callie and her friends, there is just one hope, but to find it, they’re going to have to fight through the most terror-filled night of their lives.

Can they escape the horror that awaits them and build a new life on the surface? Or will these next few hours be their last?

Rebirth

They thought escaping the bunker was their biggest challenge. They were wrong.

With little food and no resources, the fragile union is beginning to strain. But there’s something else too—something lurking in the shadows.

When the power died, the bunker went black. But it was nothing like the darkness that awaits them now. A new panic is spreading, but this time, few have hope of escaping it.

This was meant to be a fresh start, a rebirth. Instead, it could be the beginning of the end.

Will Callie and her friends be among the lucky ones? Or will their newfound freedom be short-lived?

They’re about to find out.

Infinity

Ever since leaving Salvation and escaping the quarry, things had got better and better for Callie and the rest of the community.

But now a single afternoon has turned their world upside down.

The clock is ticking to save one of their own, and a simple plan becomes a foreboding quest.

They’re about to learn just how much the world has changed.

how does this book get top reviews

this is just talking about doing something and so many other options that are also written in. I have been skipping chapters left and right because the conversation go down way to many rabbit holes and conversations about it horrible and a lot of bs about how they are going to do it with nothing. I would not recommend this series to anyone.

Stop with that music!

I liked this series. Written well, good characters. The narration was great. But at the beginning of every short chapter there was LOUD, annoying violin music playing the same few notes. The fact that I made it through the whole series is a testament to the books. Because I thought I’d slit my wrists if I heard that music again!

The Burning Tree Box Set Books 1- 5

This is an incredible amount of great listening time for just 1 credit! I really like it when authors put their series into box sets. I like having my favorite series all together in one place. Christopher Artinian did a great job on this series and I highly recommend this series! Kim Bretton brings all the characters to life with her narration and voice.

Wow - This is a great tale!

This is not my usual genre and the commitment scared me a bit. I am so happy that I took the chance. First, it's a great, imaginative, fun story (even though it's a bit sad ). Next, many reviewers complained about the violin. DO NOT LET THAT STOP YOU FROM LISTENING TO THIS BOOK. Personally, I think the music adds to the entire experience.

Great work, great writing, and a GREAT PERFORMANCE.

After 45 hours - I find myself wishing there was more.

ENJOY!

Hit or miss

Hard book to get in to. Sometimes it’s annoying, other times it’s ok. Might finish it one day

Fantastic book
