À propos de cet audio

With the lights still out, how far will you go to survive?

When an EMP devastated the nation's power supplies and left the country in ruins, Jack, Wayne, Susan, Emma and Logan all fought to seek shelter in a treacherous first day.

But surviving the first day was just the beginning.

Jack has found his way home. But when tragedy strikes, he is forced on a personal journey across the country to seek new shelter - and face up to the harrowing demons of his past.

Wayne's search for Candice is going nowhere. But when a stunning discovery breathes new life into his journey, he is determined to make one final push through the rapidly collapsing towns and cities. Just how fatal will that decision be?

Susan is trying her best to maintain order at the makeshift hospital. But when chaos takes over, she must embark on a mission to get Tommy to safety. With droves of looters already filling the streets, and fires spiraling out of control, just how far will she go to keep Tommy safe?

As others have said a story set in England with an American narrator? Who OK’d that? I don’t know the author but for
An 8 year old they have “meet the standards” for keeping the story going.

Umm - It was “Included”

It starts out really well, the characters are compelling and likeable. You have to suspend your disbelief a lot! I don’t believe the world would descend into chaos after 24 hours. There is a considerable amount of violence, most seems unnecessary but, it moves the plot along. Then in the last quarter of the book the author kind of ’checks out’, the writing becomes unimaginative and stilted.
The title in included with membership so, it’s a decent way to pass the time.

Compelling Story and Characters but…….

In this second book of the 'Surviving The EMP' series, Ryan Casey continues to weave the plotlines of his five focus characters - painting a picture of dedication to finding/helping loved ones in the face of a remarkably pessimistic prediction of societal collapse within hours of modern civilization losing power.
Casey isn't ever going to win any writing awards - but his vocabulary/prose is acceptable, his characters are largely relatable, and his description skills are creditable. Unfortunately, he also emphasizes the aforementioned "empathetic vs. sociopathic" philosophical inconsistencies among the citizenry and provides a noticeably scattershot encounter-based plot that has the feel of a freewheeling creative-writing nightclass assignment. 'After The Fall' aspires to "Social Commentary" but ends up disappointingly amateurish.

Reader Gabriel Vaughan turns in a decidedly "professional" performance - but once again brings attention to how inappropriate it is to read a story loaded with UK colloquiallisms ("torch" instead of "flashlight"; "A&E" instead of "ER"; etc) with an American accent. Tantor Audio's casting choice for this project is baffling.

As an included option (part of the 'Plus' initiative), this 5/10-star entry in the series was a reasonable distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons - but save your Credit for something else should they ask for one.

[NOTE: Casey is an uncommonly courageous author: killing off central characters in a way that builds tension.. it feels like these individuals are in genuine jeopardy when the rape gangs show up]

Good knowledge, sounds accurate as what would happen if a massive EMP would hit earth. How fast shtf would happen... But some characters stories are very far fetch... I read other reviews saying the same and I disregarded it. But they were not wrong. Enjoyable, but found myself rolling my eyes a couple times.

okay, but storyline hard to believe

I really like seeing the different perspectives in real time between all the characters. For the most part you know they will all get together at somepoint but finding out how is the best part.

My few complaints are the narrator having a NA accent compared to British accent and the authors obsession with “lumps”.

Developing story

I have no idea what story the other reviewers were listening to that gave it 5 stars, but it wasn't this one. Totally unrealistic portrayal of the characters. On just day two, people are killing each other for food, and claiming they are starving. Are you freaking kidding me?
It has an overly dramatic storyline, unrealistic scenarios, pathetic characters.. and way too PREACHY to be tolerable.

Book one was slightly better, but still had utterly ridiculous elements put in for dramatic effect that made no sense at all.

I couldn't listen to the last 4 hours, I had such a headache from my eyes rolling back in my head I was getting dizzy.

Don't waste your money, unless you're from England, and have no concept of how to act in a crisis, or how people will act. No idea how to survive or how to deal with difficult situations, without the dark hero suddenly knifing a teenager to death over a bag of groceries, and during just the second day of the crisis.

oh, and if you have no concept of what firearms are, and that someone isn't going to approach a guy who is carrying a rifle ... with balled up fists to drive him from the neighbors property. That would be called a dead man in reality.

I wasted my money, and now it's too late to return it.

The choice is yours, but, there's far better survival books out there dealing with a CME or EMP event, that you might actually learn from.

Totally unrealistic portrayal of survivors.

Set in England with American narrator? Story seemed like something from a bad ‘80s made for TV movie.

Terrible story.
