Publisher's Summary

Why do some societies collapse into lawless savagery while others prove resilient and lasting?

On Zero Day of the first and last cyberwar in human history, the internet went dark, transport and power grids collapsed and cities began to starve, showing just how vulnerable the world could be to a targeted campaign of online sabotage. This final instalment of this prescient epic of civilisation collapse finds the small ragtag band of survivors come together to face a new, but eerily familiar threat - the rise of a fascist militia among the ruins of a failing country.

With American Kill Switch, John Birmingham’s End of Days trilogy comes to a high-octane, thrilling conclusion.

Good story, narrator, and characters

Good story, it kept me interested. The narrator is great, does all the voices & accents. A few giveaways that the author isn't from the US; parking lot called car park, diaper called nappy, and lots of mention of "coin operated BBQs" , which are a thing in Australia, but I've never seen one in US or Canada.

magnificent book!

Author did such a good job making us invest in these wonderful characters. I really wish he would revisit them in the future, or maybe a prequel for Michelle, and Rick! :)

Mr.Rupert Degas 5*

Good story, but what made it was the "voice actor" - Mr. Degas. Sir, you have gone well beyond "narration". You merged from one character into the next, smoothly... flawlessly and kept us glued to the audiobook! Thank you for your performance!!

Excellent end to trilogy

Best book of the series. So far one of the best end of the world titles I have ever listened too. Possibly better than “One Second After”.

All 3 book from start to finish.

Wow just wow. Not since Stephen Kings early books have I experienced writing that slows time down to just the story.
And not since then have I embarked on a mission to read every single word from this author.
