Description

Start the first season of the groundbreaking postapocalyptic serial: Yesterday's Gone: Season One (episodes 1-6).

WARNING: This is a postapocalyptic horror audiobook where bad people do evil things, and as such, this series features disturbing scenes and foul language. While it is all within the context of the story, some listeners may find this content offensive.

Can humanity survive what it never saw coming? On October 15 at 2:15 a.m. Earth vanished. A scattered few woke alone in a world with no rules, other than survival at any cost. A journalist wanders the wretched reality of an empty New York, searching for his wife and son. A serial killer must hunt in a land where prey is now an endangered species. A mother shields her young daughter from danger through every terror-filled breath.

A bullied teen is thrilled to find the world gone missing, until the knock on his door. A fugitive survives a fiery plane crash. Will he be redeemed, or return to the killing he's best at? An eight-year-old boy sets out on a journey to find his missing family, only to find something that will change him forever. These survivors aren't truly alone.... Someone or something is watching them. And waiting...

Strangers unite. Sides are chosen. Can humanity survive what it never saw coming?

On Second Listen...

Decided to give this another listen, and it isn't the worst written or performed thing I've digested, because it isn't even interesting enough to be that bad.


Main Character, Luka, has chapters that are the worst written, in a terrible attempt at deep narrative, that, when combined with the creepy children's book narration, come across as an assault on the ears and mind.

Boricio is the only decently written character and narrator (besides the esteemed RC Bray), but the writers ruin that quickly by filling every hole in the narrative with his catch phrase, so you hear it over and over and over until it means nothing.

Most of the writing is filled with bland exposition, that the authors attempts to flower up, instead making most of it awkward and immersion breaking.

Plot wise : Like the TV show lost, it presents an interesting situation and questions in the beginning, but fails to deliver anything satisfactory time and time again. By the later books in the series, it just becomes a mess you don't care about.

Seek out better apocalyptic fiction than this. Don't waste your credits.

I love RC Bray. I am a loyal follower...

I LOVE RC Bray. I think all the books he chooses are awesome. I have about 30+ of his narrations... This book was just too messed up for me to rate well. RC Bray A+ as always, but these other characters/narrator/story lines made me sick.

Had potential... avoid this one

There are moments of good storytelling, and a couple of the narrators do excellent work, but overall I wish I had passed on this one. I debated quitting listening many times, but held on to see what happened (only to be disappointed).

As someone who loves suspense and science fiction, I found the writing weak and lazy, as the authors unnecessarily stretched out moments or repeated themselves. A couple of the narrators were completely miscast, in that they either sounded so bizarre (Luka's in particular) or they did a horrible job when trying to play different characters within their storylines (Ed's narrator doing female voices was like nails on a chalkboard).

I will definitely not be buying the next in the series.

A neat character/episodic tale

Mashup of horror/ survival/ fantasy. Some of the narrators/ characters were cringy but that's part of the package. One of those tales that gives you pieces and the not knowing is what creates the mystery. It also helps hide some bad writing. Worth a listen for a different style of apocalypse.

Comparisons To ABC's 'Lost' Are Legit

Unfortunately, that assessment includes both the GOOD and the BAD. Sean Platt and David Wright build a story around an array of complex characters with fascinating backgrounds (including an escaped prisoner and a serial killer) and introduce example after example of WTF events that imply very cool potential plotlines (resembling seasons 1-3 of that show). Like the TV Program, however, they drop the ball with baffling plot progression elements (the chapters from the Point-Of-View of abandoned 8-year-old 'Luca Harding', for example, become a weird combination of juvenile, metaphysical, and confusing). Dream sequences, man-eating monsters (Zombie Aliens?), psychic emanations, and philosophical/sexual tension arguments alternate with over-the-top violence and actual rape to distract from truly effective spinetingling tension-filled horror sequences [e.g. listening to friends being butchered over walkie-talkies while in hiding and hearing the eerily clicking creatures getting closer ("Oh F*ck.. they heard us..")]. This book could have been brilliant.
*sigh*

The cast of readers for the various first-person perspective story entries is likewise hit & miss. Some narrators are spectacular, others are "adequate", and still others are execrable. To be certain, variability is to be expected in *any* compendium like this.. but Podium Audio Inc. could have cast this project better.

Will I personally be moving on to seasons Two-plus of the 'Yesterday's Gone' series?
Pass.
This 6/10-star production was an entertaining distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons as a 'Plus' selection.. but your Credit is spent better elsewhere should they ask for one.

[NOTE: R.C. Bray's perfectly-paced deadpan delivery of horrifyingly gory/graphic text cements his place as a Top 5 professional narrator in my estimation]

Looking forward to season 2!

I liked the use of different sets of characters to move the story forward. The writing skills, especially dialogue & and monolog, could be improved to avoid taking readers out of the story, into critiquing words, tone, voice, and such. The different narrators helped to not confuse characters sets.
It's a great apocalyptic story and I'm looking forward to season 2.

What to expect?

A little slow at first. One has a tendency to think of 100s of scenarios as the story tries to slowly unfold. Gets better. Crude where it needs to. Touches a full deck of life circumstances. Just seems quite drug out for a storyline that can be made in a tenth the length. Overall, i guve it a thumbs up.

This One is Worth the Money

The performances are second to none. The story compelling. You need to know why everyone has disappeared. You care about the characters. I have listened to them all except the last one. This would make an incredible miniseries. I'd say better than the stand.
