Publisher's Summary

It was a fungus spore that finally did it, knocking humans off the top of the food chain, with a lot of help from a pharma company too busy thinking about oversized profits rather than subpar outcomes. Most folks died, if not from the fungus, then from the riots and starvation that came when the grocery store shelves emptied and the spigots ran dry. Plenty of other folks lived on with the fungus growing in their bones, rooting in their brains, and turning them three-quarters crazy.

That’s when I moved underground and sealed the hatch shut on my backyard bunker. I was safe, with all the food, water, and entertainment I needed for five or six years. I had DVDs to watch, music to listen to, and books to read. Prepping had paid off for me.

At least it seemed so at first.

After a time, my radio stopped picking up signals from the world up top and for all I knew I was the last man alive on Earth. I’d planned for that possibility, yet never truly accepted things could turn out that way. The loneliness set in, gnawing at me and making me think crazy thoughts, including one that would change everything. Two years on, I opened the hatch and climbed out of my bunker.

I had to see if anyone but me was left.

definately worth a look.

The narrator nailed it, and the pacing was good. A fun read.
Any fan of the zombie genre would enjoy this.

Sometimes free isn’t cheap enough

I’m about 2 hours in. Dear god if this guy ever finds a woman she will wish she was dead. He’s angry, and spends all his time in angry narration mode, babbling on about how much he hates rich people. Goes on and on about rich people screwing over second hand stores?? What???? He goes on off on a tangent about every 10 mins. Maybe guys can power through this crap. There is a constant porn narration thrown in to keep them happy. This could have been so much better. I’m out of here. My ears are bleeding

An easy listen

I listened to this book while cleaning and running errands. If post-apocalyptic is your thing then you might like this. It's a journal entry style of narration which is a nice change.

Where is the rest of the books?

I loved this story of the introverted Survivor. The man agonizing over the politics, economics and decisions of his former life and trying to self motivate and empower his own survival.

but where are the rest of the books?

Funny, realistic, good story line!

I admit, it took me a couple attempts to really get into the book. The “all American regular guy” that often swears and laughs at dirty jokes was hard to see past at the beginning but made more sense as time went on with him being isolated and alone. It also became less common as the book progressed. Ray Porter of course did an amazing job and had you hanging onto the edge on your seat most chapters. Great read/listen, would recommend. Looking forward to Dusty’s Dairy 2, 3 etc!
