Acerca de esta escucha
A thrilling narrative of survival amid the violence and chaos following the catastrophic destruction of America's power grid.
As massive solar flares bombard the Earth, an intense electromagnetic pulse brings down America’s long-neglected power grid. The electric age ends and anarchy descends as desperate citizens panic. Artie Drager, whose dream Bahamas vacation turns into every parent’s worst nightmare, finds himself stranded thousands of miles from his home and only daughter, Jessica. As the horrible aftermath unfolds, Jessica is frantic about her father lost somewhere at sea. But first she must save herself right at home. Gangs of looters are raping, creating havoc, and taking everything in sight. Jessica is forced to bug out from the crumbling streets of New Orleans into the desolate and dangerous backwaters of Mississippi while her father sets sail on a trackless ocean a thousand miles away.
This compelling, fast-paced, action-adventure novel has listeners riveted and uneasy, questioning whether they would have what it takes to survive in an America lit only by firelight.

Massive solar flares bombard the Earth. An intense electromagnetic pulse undermines America’s power grid, wreaking havoc. Panic and chaos ensue in cities like New Orleans, where 16-year-old Mitch Henley was stranded after driving his parents to the airport. The son of a game warden in a rural Mississippi county, Mitch is an expert hunter and woodsman and knows he can survive back on his family’s remote 600 acres. With no way to know if his parents’ plane landed safely or crashed because of the pulse, Mitch sets out alone to walk home.

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.

Tourists visit popular islands of the Caribbean by the planeload. What they don't see from their resort hotels are the hundreds of out-of-the-way, uninhabited islands sprinkled along the West Indies, from Florida to South America. This alluring archipelago, strung with beaches accessible only by boat but spaced temptingly close together, led Mississippi adventurer Scott B. Williams to embark upon an open-ended quest to see how far south he could go in a 17-foot sea kayak.

Before the lights went out, Jack Warrant never considered himself a prepper. That was someone on the edge, a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday cultist who had a fatalistic view of the world. He was neither a theorist nor a cultist. He was an optimist. At least that was what he told himself when the darker thoughts creeped into his psyche as he stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night. Whenever he started down the rabbit hole, he always clawed his way back into the sunlight.

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

The thin veneer of civilization was laid bare as man fought one another for survival.

Good story bad narrator
would love to listen to the sequel but Mike Vendetti is too painful to subject myself to. Surely a better narrator could have made this book a memorable experience

Not bad! (Except the narration)
This was an interesting grid down story for the most part. It’s not just a grid down scenario but a mystery within a grid down scenario. I liked the story but the time frames don’t match up at all. If the two story’s came together in real time it would have been off by about two weeks according to the time references which were given throughout the book. That was a bit annoying but I got over it. The parts I didn’t like was the incessantly filler conversations that took place in the middle of the drama where we learned about nature and history over and over. It’s not that those things don’t interest me it’s just that I wanted to skip chapters when that happened. Overall I would listen to more from this author.
In other news, I’m sure Mike Vendetti is a nice man but he’s a horrible narrator as I’ve mentioned in other reviews and to be honest if I would have noticed he was the narrator I may have passed on this book. He mumbles, mispronounces basic words and puts pauses in where they don’t belong, as if he’s turning the page in the middle of a sentence. He also can’t do a Caribbean accent if his life depended on it making for cringeworthy chapters. And he STILL can’t pronounces the word “foliage” and uses “da” occasionally for “the”. Ugh!

wonderful book, can't wait to read #2
good character development, maturely written with intelligent story plot. I also recommend Mark goodwin as a post apocalypse and emp. Noone is really on par with him so I was very happy to find this excellent story! VERY WELL DONE
