Publisher's summary

Consistently hitting the top of the charts in post-apocalyptic fiction and military thrillers, The Mad Mick series has garnered thousands of reviews from listeners who can't get enough of this character. He's the guy you want on your side in a fight. He's the friend who can make you laugh until you cry. He's the last man on Earth you want to cross.

This omnibus edition contains the first three books in the series:

• "The Mad Mick".
• "Masters of Mayhem".
• "Brutal Business".

For a hardened assassin and his snarky daughter, navigating the apocalypse is little more than business as usual. They have food, weapons, top-notch gear, and connections in the darkest holes of the special operations community. Just don't cross them, because hell hath no fury like the Maguires.

Conor Maguire nearly lost his daughter when she was three years old, injured by the drunk driver who killed his wife. When the justice system failed him, Conor retaliated against the driver in dramatic and gruesome fashion.

An ironclad alibi prevented the police from pinning the murder on Conor. His actions didn't go unnoticed though. A covert agency within the US government recruited the talented young bomber and machinist. For over 25 years, Conor designed and built custom weapons of death and destruction at his secluded compound in the mountains of Virginia.

When a series of devastating terror attacks brought down the United States, Conor and Barb assumed they were safe in their compound. They had everything they needed. They were armed and highly trained. But then, Barb was kidnapped.

The kidnappers didn’t know why Conor was known as The Mad Mick. They didn’t know the fear and respect his name invoked in the shadowy underworld of covert operations. They didn’t know that when it came to protecting his family, he was without conscience, without compassion, and without equal.

But they would soon find out.

Character development started in a previous book by author and is an excellent follow up.

Fast paced, thrilling, dramatic and just the right amount of comic relief. Well done, thank you.

Liked the characters and how they were written.

Good series and hoping for more. Definitely kept me interested and wanting to know what was going to happen next.

Just a good book that kept me tuned in with a great narrator

Love this book. Kept me wanting more and more. Wanting to get the next in line

Great Book and great narration

I absolutely love Kevin Pierson. I will choose books just be cause he is narrator!

great book series! great reader!

i liked the book it was good all around; an enjoyable tale! Sandemus High School football Rules!

A bit rough around the edges but I enjoyed it

I think the voices overlapped between characters a bit. The story was a bit rough, but I’ll listen to more.

the characters

leaves you wondering exactly what happened to put them in the situation and focuses more on their survival.

Fun Entertaining Story

I honestly did not expect to enjoy this book (er, these books) but to my surprise it pulled me in almost right away. The storyline is set in the same post-apocalyptic world as "The Borrowed World" and I can confidently say that, if you enjoyed the books from that series, there's a 99% chance that you will enjoy these as well. The only thing that made me hesitate at first was that my husband had listened to this before I did and had warned me that there were a few pretty brutal scenes. He was right, there were maybe three sections where I skipped over a half of a chapter or so. Otherwise it wasn't too bad in that regard.

I Love The Mad Mick

Great story line. I was hoping for a book 4. The performance was exceptional, Mick and his daughter Barb, the main characters stood out from the rest of the characters with their Irish accents and take care of business approach to the apocalypse.

Loved It

I try to at least start a series by purchasing a box set. This was a good buy. I purchased every following book to finish listening to the series. Highly recommended.
