À propos de cet audio

The complete Dark Road series in one collection.

Ben Davis was prepared for disaster. He just didn't know it would come so soon. He and his teenage son Joel, are miles deep in the backcountry of the San Juan Mountains when high-altitude nuclear electromagnetic detonations light up the pre-dawn sky. Ben, Joel, and their dog, Gunner, must make their way home - or whatever's left of it - on foot.

Former Army Ranger and Durango, Colorado Sporting Goods store owner 'Ben Davis' shepherds his 15-year-old son 'Joel' and their big, brown mongrel 'Gunnar' on a journey across country to reunite with his other children. A Nuclear EMP Attack by North Korea shuts down all electronic equipment in the continental United States.. and society almost immediately collapses into every-man-for-himself anarchy - like, within minutes "...because of legalized marijuana" (i.e. the erosion of conservative values). The streets are left empty of anything but incompetent Government FEMA Camps, violent looters, roving criminal gangs, and the occasional helpless civie in need of rescue.
• In Book One ('Breakdown'): author Bruno Miller introduces the Davis trio.. on a fishing trip in the San Juan Mountains when WWIII begins. They hike back home, scavenge what they can, rescue an orphaned teen townie girl named 'Allie', and plan to make a side-journey to Pittsburgh to find her dad
• 'Escape' (Book Two) is a standard entry in the genre. Itemize guns, gear, and ammo; hit the road dodging wrecks; siphon gas from abandoned cars & gas stations; fight through the inevitable roadblock ambushes on the highway, etc...
• Book Three ('Resistance') involves Ben, Joel, Gunnar, and Allie continuing their journey but also gets them entwined in a bizarre roadside attempt to steal their vehicle and starts introducing imaginative after-effects of the high-altitude nuclear explosions (e.g. supercharged animal aggressiveness)
• 'Fallout' is the best book in the series. The action is better choreographed, Miller is a bit more philosophical about forced adjustment to a post-acoptalyptic reality, and the teen characters Joel & Allie become richer and more than plot devices to motivate Ben
• In 'Extraction', the group confront an admirable mix of "good" fellow survivors that they assist & "evil" survivors that they fight.. and unexpectedly happen upon Allie's long-thought-dead mother 'Sandy' in a book that would easily fit into the 'Walking Dead' ZA series

As to presentation: the production values courtesy of Bruno Miller Publishing are excellent and reader Andrew Tell is best consumed at 1.10X but exhibits exemplary diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting, His tone is occasionally underemotive, but the narration is "above-average" overall.

Altogether, 'The Dark Road Series Collection' (Books 1-5) merits 5.5 out of 10 stars. The writing isn't very imaginative and of high-school quality, but if occasional Right-wing missives don't bother you, it's a great series of uncomplicated genre entries to distract for a good long time (I alternated each book with another from a different genre - SciFi, Horror, True Crime - and it kept my palate clean nicely. I recommend it - 20 straight hours of this narrative would be a bit much).
Caveat: only download if you can get it as a 'Plus' option. If they ask for a Credit, keep browsing.

ATTN PRODUCERS: Adding Book Titles to the chapter entries would make navigating the menu easier without having to bookmark the heck out of the recording (What if I want to listen to the climax of 'Fallout'? Which chapter is that one?)
