World Quake

A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller

De: Mark Hobson

It was a day like any other. People setting out on the commute to work or taking the kids to school or chatting to their friends in the park.
Normal. Routine. Nothing to mark it apart.

By lunchtime, everything they had ever known, every aspect of their lives, would be changed forever - marked by the most catastrophic series of global disasters to strike the planet in over 6000 years.

MANKIND STANDS AT THE GATES OF EXTINCTION

The world is being ripped apart by a great geological cataclysm. Cities crumble and entire continents disappear beneath the sea as earthquakes and mega-tsunamis lay waste to the land. For the human race there is no escape and nowhere to flee. Millions perish.

From the rubble, a disparate group of survivors emerge.

A school teacher hell-bent on finding his pregnant wife.

A scientist with the fate of the world in his hands.

The workforce of a power plant who fight to prevent a nuclear meltdown that would poison a nation for millennia.

While the politicians hide in their bunkers beneath London and Washington, these ordinary people will have to fight to stay alive in this new world, an existence blighted with violence, cruelty and death as they journey across a devastated landscape.

They must ask themselves profound questions about their own morality while humanity descends into chaos.

A new epoch in Earth's history is underway.

THIS IS THE AGE OF DEATH

Interesting premise ruined by AI narration

This could have been a really gripping story but the characters were poorly developed and the AI narration lacked any intensity. Would not recommend this one

Good story. Derogatory term

I'm still listening, and it's good so far.
A word at the ch. 10 mark, near the beginning the "narrator" referred to Japanese people as Japs. I was surprised to hear the authors choice of word being spoken.
I hope no one thinks it is acceptable to use such a word. We were ignorant during the '40, unlike today. Education will solve prejudice.
