HE SURVIVED THE SCOURGE. HE ESCAPED THE CARTEL. NOW HE FACES THE WALL.

In the chaos of a global plague, evil took hold. Governments fell, the good became servants, and the Cartel rose to power. A wall was built to contain the wasteland and keep the evil at bay. Now an organized resistance wants change. They're willing to fight for it and they've asked Marcus Battle to help. The last thing Battle wants is another war. But if that's what it takes to gain freedom and safe passage to the other side of the wall, he'll take aim and fire.

End of the three book series

This book will make no sense at all unless Home and Canyon, the first novels in the series, are read first. Wall concludes the series. The Traveler is a well written and very well narrated dystopian series. The ending is not great but is as good as can be expected considering the nature of the crisis. Ultimately the story is about the difference on person, Marcus Battle, can make.

Great book and no foul language.

Finally an author who can write a three book series and not use one foul word to express the point if the book. Shows it is possible if your intelligent enough.
Thank you!

Great Read! Got hooked, bought all books.

Seems like all Kevin Pierce books I've listened to have been great. Very enjoyable.

AWESOME!!!!

This was better than book 2 I loved it definitely a must read !! Congratulations to Tom on writing an amazing series. Thanks for the great entertainment.

A Battle Is Coming...

A battle is coming, well make that two battles. One actual battle between the two sides and Marcus Battle, the incredibly resilient good guy in the Traveler Series.

The narration for Wall was done by Kevin Pierce who has done the entire Traveler series and done an awesome job on them. As I've stated time and time again, Pierce just has one of those voices that really makes these post-apocalyptic stories. It's no wonder he's been featured over and over again on my blog considering that's one my favorite genres.

The story picks up where the other two have left off, so I may give some spoilers away. Battle is still alive and kicking and is now called upon to help more people once again. I really like the inner angst that Abrahams plays off of. Battle is a mess internally. He's fighting a lot of demons that would cause a lesser man to crumble. I think that it's written beautifully -- allowing Battle to have his moments, but also recover from them and grow because of them.

The combination of Abrahams writing style and Pierce's narration really made this book blow by. It felt like one moment I was just starting chapter 1 and the next the book was almost over. Not every book can do that, but this one definitely made the time evaporate.

Overall, the story was a little different from the first two Traveler books but was different in a needed way. This book had a lot of conclusions and endings to things. Without giving anything away, I will say that I was happy and a bit surprised by the ending.

I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Great series

Took a little bit for me to get into it. But once I did I was hooked! Out standing series!

Felt a little rushed

First off, this is not a negative review. I loved this story and the series. And just like season 6 of GoT, this finale to the series felt unsatisfactory especially when the other books took so many great turns and expanded on characters so much. I'm hoping this gets turned into a movie or television series and there is a little bit more at the end that wraps everything up but if this is the only review you read, know this: You will LOVE this story.

Suffered Through it!

Spoiler alert: So I have read the whole series. I liked the way it started. Interesting take on a pandemic. But the character development is not good. Especially by the last book, the characters do things out of character and against human nature. Worst of all is the lack of knowledge of the weapons by the author or military skills. I liked the beginning of the A American series because the main character was a prepper but not ex-military. So there is forgiveness in weapons choices, tactics, etc. But if you are going to write about an ex-military guy who is described as a former combat arms and most likely infantry holed up in his farmhouse, then he is going to have skills. Especially with combat tours under his belt. Marcus Battle is described as a the worst Infantry Officer in history. (By the way, the Army stopped using HMMWVs on combat patrols a long time ago - they use Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected - MRAPs). Battle has prepped his house for the Apocalypse and decides the night before a possible attack he will put out the wimpiest booby traps sporadically? A good Infantry officer would have every in of his perimeter set up with traps and ways to channelize his enemy into his fields of fire. He would have dug burms and better fortifications. His priceless resources were in an unprotected warehouse in Texas? Why no have an underground shelter? Easier to cool in hot summers and protected from tornadoes. I could go on and on. And the bad guys only carry shotguns? I would understand AK-47s or SKSs because they are everywhere. But Browning shotguns? Who even owns one of those? I wanted to like this book. But there are too many inconsistencies in the story line related to character explanation and lack of research related to military side. Dont waste your time on this series. If you did, I am sorry.

Great series.

This was an awesome series. I wish there was more to come. I can see Battle having some more issues to deal with.

Too Much Killing

Every chapter was rank with killing. Underneath that there was a good story.
How about 1/3 defense and 2/3 gray matter. Always found out the enemy in time to kill them... barely. Battle always had a gut instinct but rarely went after it.
I like Battle but would like to see him use his head more and his AK 47 less. I know he's flawed but he's also smart.

More Please!

Very good post apocalyptic trilogy. Good story with excellent narration. Hope there will be more to follow.
