By: Steven Smith

Length: 10 hrs and 5 mins

Publisher's summary

Jim Wyatt had always said that if everything fell apart, he didn’t want to just survive - he didn’t want to notice. When the world did crash, his family’s home of Stonemont became not only a refuge, but a place where it might be possible to start over again, and reclaim the American ideal. Among the many novels in the SHTF/TEOTWAWKI genre, The Reversion stands apart – and, perhaps, alone. It does not follow the survival learning curve of the unprepared or minimally-prepared, as so many excellent books have already done so well. Rather, it is the story of a man who was prepared, and of how his preparation and foresight provided not only a safe haven for him and his family, but a re-start point for those who come together to survive the collapse of the world around them. As such, it is an unbelievably positive book about an unbelievably negative circumstance, and carries within it the lessons of preparedness and survival that every person should strive to learn. Tightly woven into the story are threads of history, morality, politics, economics, philosophy and comparative justice – the kind America was founded on, the kind they had devolved to under the weight of an increasingly liberal and socialist society, and the kind that might re-establish a society reflective of America’s original ideals. As these threads are woven into the fabric of the larger story of survival, the realization emerges that a great catastrophe enabled the return of what makes us, as human beings, truly happy and fulfilled, and that, perhaps, only a great catastrophe could. The Reversion, written by an expert in survival and preparedness with an interesting government and non-government background, is destined to be an instant classic in the preparedness/survival genre. More than a good story, it is a manual and a resource for all who are interested in these fields, and deserves to be kept on your desk or chair-side table where it can be read, re-read and referred to often.

Story that makes you think.

Very good writing. AI voice work very easy to understand. Noticed a few errors in language such as Hell and Med (short for medium) but would welcome hearing more AI voice overs.

loved it.

the AI took me a minute to get used to. when it was calling an AR an "are," I thought that was funny.

Great book

Great story and characters with real American values and the center holding together is GOD and His laws

Excellent story and worth reading, not a fan of virtual voice naration

This is an excellent book for everyone to read, well written and enjoyed thoroughly. The virtual voice made it hard to follow the story and characters. Virtual voice had a strange echo and does not distinguish between voices that you get from a true live narrator. virtual voice is a great place sitter until a live narrator is complete with a project but not a replacement. I will pay full price of this book if a live narrator is replaced with the virtual voice. I like to work while I listen to my books so it is a step up from kindle read out loud but still needs a lot of work.

Fantastic!

I watched Steve's YouTube for years and knew by listening that he had great values. he really put those values in these books and it's extremely refreshing hearing a well-written book, with plenty of clever yet subtle humor, but most importantly, without the terrible language that most books of my favorite genre (apocalyptic) brings. thanks steve!

Outstanding storyline

I have longed to get into Steven C Smith’s book every since they were recommended by Pastor Joe Fox on his YouTube channel. Unfortunately I don’t have much free time to actually sit down and read a book and Mr. Smith’s books were not available in audio format. Much to my delight, I found several of Steven Smith’s books in the plus catalog on Audible recorded by AI. The voice is definitely not Kevin Pierce but it’s not offensive. It’s comical on occasion but it doesn’t pick up on the slang. Pastor Joe Fox was spot on with his recommendation. Reversion is awesome just as he said it was. I highly recommend Reversion and the sequel book Reversion. I enjoy Mr Smith’s content on Patreon, I find it interesting to see him in a new light. Again, highly recommended!

Always have hope

I love this series if you’ve read the book one second after you will probably like this one as well. The narration is done by an AI voice but it’s really hard to tell, overall great book can’t wait to get into the rest of the series.

The book is amazing

I dislike the virtual voice the book brings hope and faith into the future of darkness

a refreshing spin on end times

this story was written to enlighten people about preparing for TEOTWAWKI. I appreciate the subtle advice woven into the storyline and the idea that total anarchy doesn't have to be the only option. the story keeps you listening and the manner in which it was written makes it easy to imagine as you are reading.

Good fact checks

pretty good story but the virtual voice is awful. Feels like you're sitting in college lecture or at church.
