Publisher's summary

Post-apocalyptic fiction by Sean Liscom

Jason Sterling had a simple life by all accounts. He had worked the same job his entire adult life, he had never married, and he had no children. He was used to doing things on his own. His comfortable life was shaken to the core the day he learned of his fathers death. It was a mysterious meeting that set life-altering events in motion, and the allure of a new life was too great to walk away from. When an electromagnetic pulse brings the modern world to its knees, Jason's choice proves to be the right one.

Excellent

it's probably unfair, but I rarely take the time to do a positive review on a book. If a book is annoyingly poor or stupid, I will go out of my way to rate and review the problems with the book. it's unfortunate but I think a lot of people do the same thing, and thus a book of this quality doesn't get the attention it deserves. I really enjoyed this book partly because it played in to a thought I've had for quite a long time. so many of these type books follow a character or characters that had little or no preparation, on up to groups that did a fair amount of preparation, but it was never really enough. I have often wondered what if someone had vast resources and a penchant for preparation? well, this book helps illustrate that scenario. Thank you for the picture you painted.

Great 👍

Best story i have !listen to
his year. Cannot wait until the next book comes out.

Refreshing, different

This was a story that grew really slow. Jason wasn't the most lovable character and the tension was palpable in the beginning. It had you wondering what is going on?
What we found out is - there was a community without the community. A place fully supplied and ready for a grid down event was undermanned and underwhelmingly prepared for the accommodations they had.

The relationships soon expand and the character development really drew me in. I had a hard time to stop the story. I really enjoyed how a few changes in the ideas of a standing community made them all safer. At times, the book was predictable but knowing how stories have to go, they are all a bit predictable.

The author did a great job bringing this story and this community to life. I also enjoyed the pace and reading of the narrations. Not as spectacular as other voices I've heard, the narrator did a good job of capturing the emotion of the story as the reader would if reading the book.

Ok so was it perfect? No, but it was a good and gripping story. It, for the most part, kept politics out of the book and had the correct use of military terminology when needed.

I hope there is a sequel and I recommend this book to anyone who likes post-apocalyptic fiction.

Savagely Human, Humanly Savage!

Having listened to many action packed books that frame the protagonist as a man bent on defeating his enemies, and saving the world; this one too definitely got my attention. Big difference here is that Jason isn't trying to save the world. Jason is just trying to keep his little piece of the world from crumbling, and that's a much different thing. This book, and the following two that tell the story are believable. Fantastic for sure, but you can relate to the characters that continue through each chapter. The story is fantastical, and very much pushes the edge at times. I would definitely recommend this book, and for that matter the entire series. They did not let me down. After this I only want more!

Perfect amount of detail!

Loved this book! Can’t wait until i start the next. An absolute must listen. I already had 90+ books in this genre but this one takes the cake.

Awesome riveting book

This was such a great book. Well written and thought out. The characters are relatable, and that makes it more fun. Can’t wait to listen to the next one

Outstanding

Probably one of the top 5 books I’ve read recently. Great story line and characters!

good storyline

real solid story line. narrator was good. can't wait to listen to the next book

Good listen

I enjoyed the storyline. The main character could get a little self-righteous in a way I’ve never heard anybody talk, but it a good storyline and fun listen. Interesting to think about with all the bull going on today. I’ll be continuing on in the series.

Great book

Just wondering why book 2 isn’t available on audible. It’s out already just not available yet. Wtf!!!
