Story
Charlie is good at her work. As a hard-charging drug rep with the brains and talent to make it to the top, she has the world at her feet. Then, the lights go out, and everything changes. An EMP decimates the United States, leaving the country in the dark. With modern technology suddenly and permanently turned off, society's dark side quickly takes over. Caught on the road, she teams up with two new companions and they fight their way towards safety and freedom. Criminals, gangs, and worse stand between them and the safety of a friend's farm.

Story
Months after the EMP crippled the country, Charlie concentrated on survival. Unfortunately, that wasn’t working out too well. Russians and Chinese soldiers were now part of the occupation, while the loss of several of her friends to state sanctioned gangs had pushed her to the edge. It was time to fight back. Combatting a tyrannical government seemed beyond sane, but every journey starts with just one step. For Charlie and her group, that time had come. Retribution was to be meted out and with the help of a growing Resistance, reclaiming the country seemed more plausible by the day.

Story
The city has become a warzone. Charlie and her companions must survive the gangs and corrupt government agents that are out to stake their claims on the nation’s riches. Should she try and flee to the countryside, with each neighborhood a potential trap and every house a threat? Or should she stay and fight the building tyranny? Dwindling food supplies and the daily risk of capture are taking their toll. Mistakes are fatal, and the exhaustion that comes with living under constant danger is wearing them down.

The only possible thing that could make Morgan's world even more difficult happened. The Japanese fleet off the coast of California was wiped out. An even that Morgan and friends and family only knew about because of the radio broadcasts from the Radio Free Redoubt. So far removed from them it barely warranted notice. That is until the Chinese retaliated by launching a nuclear counter-strike against Mac Dill Air Force base. This, did warrant their attention and had the potential to profoundly impact their lives.

Morgan and his extended family could see the light at the end of the tunnel, dim though it may be. There was the promise of power once again. The plant was being repaired, and it looked as though it may actually run. While it meant lots of hard, sweaty work, the reward was worth the investment. The farm was growing strong, and community involvement was good. People were finally coming to terms with the fact that they needed to work together. So far Mother Nature had been on their side. But that, too, was about to change.

Her world has become a race to freedom while attempting to avoid capture by the new government's agents.

Things are definitely darker in the city.
If you loved Going Home, like I did, this citified version may be a little dark given the ending. But there's no question that the challenges Morgan faced on his way home are significantly less eery than the ones these characters face in the city. 'Different kinds of things to think about in this scenario, if you're in an urban area....I'm thinking I want to move to the country. :)

So Slow...
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I'm only 4 hours in and I can't take it any more. This is like listening to grass grow. I have spent the entire time waiting for some sort of energy to be introduced and it just won't happen.
Also - the use of obscure words isn't doing the story any favors. I really like the Going Home series. This is a let down.
Did Democide inspire you to do anything?
Yes. I stopped listening to it after 4 hrs and restarted the Go Home series again.

Good book a little hard to follow
Who was your favorite character and why?
Charlie.... after I figured out who she was. A bit of a mystery that went on a little too long
Any additional comments?
This book was hard to follow. A lot of jumping around with little or no background as to what actually happened. You jump right in after the event has happened. I did like the book but really had to go back and listen to a few chapters, thinking I missed something. Dukes narration was a little choppier than usual. Overall enjoyed it after the storyline started coming together.

Not nearly as good as "Home" series
This is supposed to be book 1 but it starts in the middle of the story. Apparently there is a novella that has the actual beginning. So it assumes you know who the characters are with no background being given. And the narrator makes no effort to do a woman's voice for the character Charlie which made it more confusing. He uses the same voice for both main characters. They start the story a few days after the EMP but you don't know how the group came together. Pretty disappointing. compared to the author's other books.

Any additional comments?
I couldn't finish it. I found it to be very boring and slow. I think a lot of it has to do with the narrator. It wasn't that he was horrible but he sounded like he was at the library reading to children or even a teacher reading to their class. I do not recommend this book.

Not quite the Home series
I loved the Home series and think I will like this one equally as much as it progresses, but I have a couple of frustrations. The story is a bit disjointed at first with skipping back and forth between character sets. Once you get to know them a bit it's not quite as bad though. Secondly, I like Duke as a narrator (even though he sometimes has 'off' inflections), he gave Charlie zero female characteristics. He did not change his voice in the slightest, even though he does for other females, which makes her portion of the story, well, odd. I can't help but visualize a man, not a woman whenever 'she' speaks.
Anyway, other than those 2 gripes this is shaping up to be a good start to hopefully a long series like Home.

Slow moving, yet boring
Would you try another book from A. American and Walt Browning and/or Duke Fontaine?
I've listened to the entire A.American Home series. This work is not up to his usual standard.After listening to 5 chapters I couldn't figure out where the plot was going, much less get into it. I'm guessing the authorship was more Walt Browning and less A.American. The narrative is stilted and halting. Duke Fontaine reads it like it's his first narration; he doesn't do the book any favors. He was much better reading the Home series. What happened? A narrator can make or break an audio book. Fontaine broke this one.
What was most disappointing about A. American and Walt Browning ’s story?
The narration above all, but the story line was scattered and hard to get into.
How could the performance have been better?
A better narrator. The authors should have spent the extra bucks and hired Scott Brick or George Guidall or Buck Schirner. The authors need to do a rewrite and make it more of an apocalyptic story. It sounds more like a novel written for sensitive teenage girls... or maybe that's who the target audience was intended to be?
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I returned it after 5 chapters.
