This whole series was gripping from start to finish

I loved each individuals stories becoming intertwined. I cant say enough of how good this series was.

Great !

This was a great book! I just wish you didn't use virtual voice it's so bad!

I really enjoyed it!

I have listened to about 100 different end of the world style of books, during 2024-2026. None of them are zombie books, all of them are EMP or virus or cyber attack or mixture of them.

I really enjoyed this entire series and was pleasantly surprised that I did not have a problem with the AI voice. Usually, I would very quickly get frustrated with an AI voice, however, this one wasn’t bad there was only one or two words that I noticed were incorrectly, pronounced by the AI voice and I was able to move past that pretty easily.

I have also enjoyed books by Kyla Stone, Grace Hamilton, Franklin Horton and Robert Walker to name a few.

My favorite style are about communities, trying to make a go of it after we have no power, after some crazy trek home for some portion of the group. Some books do not delve very much into what the cause of the event was or the potential rebuild after the event for the society as a whole, this series did a good job of giving you that perspective and the perspective of the individuals suffering on the ground.

I read a lot of reviews that are upset by the characters being peppers or special forces… however I think it makes sense that most of the time these books focus on a couple of characters who are prepper like or special ops persons because I do think it’s most likely those are the types of folks who are going to survive such a thing. Those people who work in an office and have not attempted to prep anything and do not have any of those skills are very likely not going to make it so why would a book be about how those people, probably quickly, died.

fun book

the story left just enough suspense for a new book, yet a suitable closure for the story.

The limitations of “Virtual” voice

While I listened to all three books in the series and enjoyed them all, the virtual voice detracted from an otherwise great performance. There were the occasional mispronouncing of numbers, names, and places however the real problem was much more subtle. It was a feeling more than anything. A “warmth” that just wasn’t there. An odd inflection here or a missing softness/feeling there…..Somehow, this combination of mostly intangible factors, made big difference for me.

Would I listen another book using the virtual voice; maybe but only if there weren’t another alternative. I’m sure the virtual voice is less expensive than a human narrator but I sincerely hope that economics doesn’t end up taking away that “special something” that a computer just can’t match.
