"OTW baby!"

That was the final text Beau was able to send to his wife before everything went dark. Now, he had to keep his promise and find a way to travel the 30 miles home through some of the worst neighborhoods in Charlotte, battling gangs, the heat, and an entire city trying to keep their own promises.

Beau will use his skills, resources, and anyone he needs to in order to fight his way home, one exit at a time.

Exit 41 is the first in a new series from R.A.Bratyanski, the author of the Mouths to Feed series.

so good I want more of it

the story was so good and so realistic and cruel in some way I loved it I do not suggest you to listen to it in the night like I did and then fall asleep with the book like I did and dream about the story like I did oh my God but just legs when I listen to the book again I was able to enjoy it very much

Needs to be longer!

We are presented with a slightly disturbing post-apocalyptic journal. Our protagonist, Beauregard Longstreet Jackson finds himself at work, 26-miles from home when an EMP turns the lights off in Charlotte, North Carolina. Although his immediate reaction is to get home to family, he is unable to resist children in need. The story, which appears to be the first book of a new series, details Beau’s journey across some of the most undesirable parts of the city. This is a good start, I just wish it was twice the length. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Great book! Read it!

Want a glimpse of what a grid down looks like then this is the book for you. This book makes you think about the small things you can do to prepare for such an event.

Very dark and raw

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. It was very good, but very real. There is a lot of adult subject matter.

I-85 chronicles

This was a good Emp,end of the world book.The story is similar to others. I didn't think it was long enough to really care about the characters,although I would like to know how things end. Jamie Cutler was a good narrator.

Unique EMP Story Excellent Narration

The I-85 Chronicles: Exit 41 "OTW BABY!” is written by R.A.Bratyanski. The narration is provided by Jamie Cutler. Total running time is 3 hours and 34 minutes. During that time the listener will hear what is the first installment in the author's new post-apocalyptic series. The story is familiar for the genre having an EMP event then following the parallel story tracks of the main character of the husband Beau as he struggles to get home the 30 miles and the wife who struggles to get home in the city they live in.

The story does hold the listener's attention. The author’s unique approach to the story having Beau not being a prepper having everything he needed before the event. Beau is also not in great physical shape. He has made morally questionable choices along the way to get home. Choices that could have long term effects on the city he is leaving behind. The author is doing a fun approach to this story with each edition a new exit off of I-85. By breaking the story up into short pieces to keep it fresh and ongoing as compared to one large story that dies on the vine with no resolution.

The narration by Jamie Cutler was very enjoyable. This is the first time that I have heard an audio performance from Mr. Cutler but he did an outstanding job on this production. His style an unvoiced reading style that is really suited to his rich deep voice. Those unfamiliar with the term unvoiced reading style, this is the same style employed by another narrator in this genre Kevin Pierce. The production quality of this audiobook is also the highest quality. I heard no problems during the entire performance. There were not any detectable flaws that I was able to hear during the entire performance such as loops, breaks, or buzzing. The production was crisp and clear. Robert Bratyanski delivered an excellent audiobook production. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Good but too short

This is a good apocalyptic tale. EMP,guy trying to make his way home. Goes through bad areas getting out of the city. Picking up people. Wife on the other end of tale trying to get home a shorter distance. Characters written well. Believable. I wouldn’t invest a credit but buy it our right as it’s cheaper. On to the next in the series.

I wish it were longer!

I loved this listen so much! It's a simple story on the surface - the lights go off; the grid goes down; time to get home. Beau's journey from work to home, with all of the equipment he had in preparation for such an event, was one thing after another. It was great.

I've never been to this part of North Carolina but the author wrote great scenes. I was totally there!

Cutler's narration was pretty special. I mean, the whole world was falling apart and he needed to deliver a narration to make that real. Nailed it.

I wished it were longer!
