About this listen
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).
When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages.
In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line.
Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild. The communicability and mortality rates are devastating, leaving only small pockets of survivors scattered throughout the countryside.
Commune: Book One is the story of one small group of survivors who must adapt to a primitive, hostile world or die. As they learn the rules of this new era, they must decide how far they're willing to go to continue living, continually asking themselves the same question daily: is survival worth the loss of humanity?

Story5 out of 5 stars 32
When a viral apocalypse kills 97 percent of the people on the planet, the survivors' humanity is hanging by a thread. Amid the leftovers of civilization, ex-Army Ranger Jason Larsen is reminded of the meaning of hope, family, and loyalty by a dog and a young boy who are as alone as he is. The survivors he seems to collect become family, and that is very bad news for those who think they run the apocalypse.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
Ranger Quinn thought that morning would be like so many others. A hangover, a day off before going back to work keeping the lower levels of Zion City safe from itself. But a crime so horrific, so brutal in its execution, turns those mundane expectations around. An investigation into the death of a senior leader in their underground utopia safe from the harsh radioactive wastelands beyond their walls forces Quinn beyond that safety and into the world outside.

Wow!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Terrific Story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Post apocalyptic survival without any zombies. Characters were deep and relatable. Couldn't put it down!
I'll be diving into the rest of this series soon!
Brilliant
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Having said that- it’s well written and a couple steps above most of the dreck in this field. TC Bray’s narration is top notch. The author spends a lot of time reciting factoids apparently gleaned from American survivalist manuals- which gets pretty old, but overall definitely worth a listen even if you’re as jaded as I am, and if this Stars and Stripes Rambo stuff is your cup of tea you’ll totally love it.
Good for what it is.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Always bring lots of guns to the Apocalypse
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Excellent Characters and story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Just another story about the "after catastrophe"
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great story and narration
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I need to listen to the whole thing again because apparently there is something about our mystery man Jake's past in the book. I have a theory but I can't share potential spoilers!
The re-listen begins.....
Highly Recommend
