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.

Character voices

This was great book! It was only lacking different voices for the different characters when they spoke.

This is a Blood and sweat character

Scary part is you can totally see it all playing out exactly as written. Hope not. That would be a bad thing. The humour was as real as you get. Million of people just like Dusty. Great story though.

It takes an open mind.

This book was actually a lot of fun. The language was a little bit crude but Dusty was obviously a real person and the author did a good job of making us empathize with him.
Have a listen. You won’t be disappointed.

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.

Really entertaining book, lacked an ending

Really liked the book! It was very entertaining. It definitely brought the post apocalyptic world to life. Gore, porn needs and all.
The ending kinda just fell off. Would have liked some more story and didn’t enjoy the interview of the writer after.
