The SHTF Omnibus Series, Books 1-4

De: L.L. Akers

Narrado por: Kevin Pierce

As a prepper, Grayson Rowan was prepared for almost anything.

Well, anything other than being totally alone when the shinola hits the fan.

While he sat back and watched the United States rattle swords with Korea, play chicken with Russia, and strong-arm China, he felt sure if the lights went out that he and his family would be ready and safe—whether it was due to a natural disaster or a man-made event. They had everything they needed at their homestead.

What he wasn’t prepared for was his family not being home if it ever happened.

Olivia Rowan is with her sisters, Gabby and Emma, on a girls-only trip to Myrtle Beach. When chaos erupts and there’s no gas, their journey home is a nightmare, filled with predators and danger—and apparently, Olivia hadn’t learned a thing her husband tried to teach her.

When your neighbors run out of water and turn on each other, what will you do?

Jake, a country boy mechanic, never believed in Teotwawki, but he’d heard his brother-in-law preach about it many times. He knew what to do, but he didn’t prepare. He lazily left it all up to Grayson—he was the prepper after all. When catastrophe strikes, will he continue to keep his head stuck in the sand while his clueless neighbors destroy each other and his wife is stuck out on the road, or will he stand up and fight like a man?

And if you’re alone? Bug in, or bug out?

Graysie Rowan, a freshman at University, just wants to go home. When no word comes from the government and the state capital is overrun with looters, chaos, and mayhem, the college administration puts the students on lockdown. But her dad, Grayson, had prepared her for this. Now, if she can only remember what it was he said to do.

If they want to survive this post-apocalyptic event, they’ll all have to learn to fight like a man.

The end came not with boots on the ground, nuclear weapons, or an EMP. It snuck in with a quiet clatter at the back door and flipped the switch, covering the states in darkness and sending this family on three divergent paths that ultimately lead home. When they collide in this surreal and gripping family drama, it won’t be without bullets and bloodshed.

We all need to prepare

The story and characters were great and very insightful as to how and why we all need to prepare.

just got dumber

The story started out great. All the characters just seemed to make stupid decisions. No common sense amongst all of them. couldn't finish the story

Excellent SHTF listen

First off, Kevin Pierce is one of the best narrators, if not the best, particularly in this genre of books. His performance here was fantastic, as always.

The books themselves are very well written, and keep you on the edge of your seat. I devoured all four books over a few days of doing a project at my homestead.

Great story! Awesome narration!

Really enjoyed the series. And Kevin Pierce is the BEST narrator! Looking forward to more from this author.

Great, realistic story

I liked it all, very entertaining and realistic. I enjoyed the characters, both the good and the bad.

Great narration. Weak writing. Tactically silly.

I struggled to get through this series. Weak writing, bad character consistency, jumpy story telling, ridiculously implausible scenarios, absurd tactical writing. Recommend trying better authors in this genre.

Very Entertaining

The storyline was great, I had nights when I didn't want to sleep and kept extending the timer.

Good

Good story but seemed to be reaching at times. Overall, two thumbs up! I would recommend

Hard to follow

It jumps around too much for me and doesn't have a good flow like a Franklin Horton book

Interesting story but slow

The story eventually developed but seemed to move unnecessarily slow. Having to waited three chapters to find out who got killed was ridiculous. And don’t ask about the STUPID POLITICAL BULLSHIT. PURE NONSENSE.
