When a killer comet hurtles toward Earth, 18-year-old Joanna Murphy is selected to wait out the apocalypse in an underground bunker.

Faced with a bunker full of bones and a blocked exit, Joanna must claw her way to the surface, figure out what happened to her team, and try not to panic - or die. That’s going to be tricky if she’s the only person left in the world.

My name's Griz. My childhood wasn't like yours. I've never had friends, and in my whole life I've not met enough people to play a game of football. My parents told me how crowded the world used to be, but we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other, and our dogs. Then the thief came. There may be no law left except what you make of it. But if you steal my dog, you can at least expect me to come after you.

For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

In orbit, a group of scientists are running the Winter Experiments, a last-ditch attempt to understand why the planet is cooling. None of the climate models they build make sense.

Close to the burning edge of the sun, they catch a fleeting glimpse of something that shouldn’t be there....

It starts with the dogs. They won’t stop barking. And then the earth shrugs - 8.9 on the Richter scale. It’s the world’s biggest earthquake since Lisbon in 1755, and it doesn’t hit California or Japan or Mexico, but New Madrid, Missouri, a sleepy town on the Mississippi River. Seismologists had predicted the scope of the disaster - but no one listened. For hundreds of miles around, dams burst, engulfing entire counties in tidal waves of mud and debris. Within minutes, there is nothing but chaos and ruin from St. Louis to Vicksburg, from Kansas City to Louisville.

Publisher's Summary
A captivating tale of humanity pushed beyond its breaking point, of family and bonds of love forged when everything is lost, and of a heroic young woman who crosses a frozen landscape to find her destiny, this debut novel is in a postapocalyptic tradition that spans The Hunger Games and Station Eleven but blazes its own distinctive path.
Forget the old days. Forget summer. Forget warmth. Forget anything that doesn't help you survive in the endless white wilderness beyond the edges of a fallen world.
Lynn McBride has learned much since society collapsed in the face of nuclear war and the relentless spread of disease. As the memories of her old life continue to haunt, she's been forced to forge ahead in the snow-drifted Canadian Yukon, learning how to hunt and trap and slaughter.
But her fragile existence is about to be shattered. Shadows of the world before have found her tiny community - most prominently in the enigmatic figure of Jax, who brings with him dark secrets of the past and sets in motion a chain of events that will call Lynn to a role she never imagined.
Simultaneously a heartbreakingly sympathetic portrait of a young woman searching for the answer of who she is meant to be and a frightening vision of a merciless new world in which desperation rules, The Wolves of Winter is enveloping, propulsive, and poignant.

Beautifully written and compelling
Unlike so many novels in general, and apocalypse novels in particular, The Wolves of Winter is beautifully written. The story unfolds effortlessly. The author does not force anything. The characters are well developed but not exhaustively examined. It is difficult to put this book down. The action, like the rest of the story, occurs naturally. I really loved this read and look forward to more books by this author. Highly recommended.

Good book! Wish there was more!
Better than a lot of the post apocalyptic reads out there. Much better actually! This is not your "prepper" style read so if your looking for the run of the mill, I'm prepared for anything, prepped style read you should move on. I was pleasantly surprised although i think there could have been a bit more to it and it seemed to die off a little towards the end. Nonetheless it is still better than several books out recently in this genre. I have to assume there is more coming or possibly more already out (I haven't checked yet) continuing this story. Matter of fact I'm gonna go look right now for. Oil two, three, etc...

Great "End of the World" survivor story.
I enjoyed The Wolves of Winter very much. I'm a big fan of end of the world novels, and this one hit the mark. The story is told in present time by a young woman, with memories shared of how the end of the world started and how one family came to be living in the wilderness. I enjoyed the characters and the story was very different. The narrator did an excellent job with all the different characters.

Entertaining enough
This book was just ok. It was predictable but entertaining enough and the ending was left in a way for sequels. The main character I found slightly irritating and immature but given her circumstances maybe that was the point. Overall it was an easy listen on my commute but wouldn’t recommend.

I Want Part Two!
I found this to be a cut above your average dystopian/post-apocalyptic type tale. The characters and situations were both interesting and believable and the narrator was excellent. I couldn't wait to see how it all turned out, therefore found myself listening well past my normal bedtime. This is, hopefully, the start of a new series. I would definitely use another credit for the next book...
