À propos de cet audio

From William R. Forstchen, the New York Times bestselling author of the One Second After series, comes Five Years After, a near-future thriller where John Matherson must contend with new threats to the fragile civilization that he helped rebuild.

Five years after The Final Day, the Republic of New America has all but collapsed into regional powers and the world at large is struggling to remain stable as regional conflicts ravage the post EMP landscape. After several years attempting to lead a quiet life, John Matherson receives the news that the President is dying from a possible assassination attempt, and is asked to step in to negotiate with what appears to be a new military power hidden in the wreckage of the world.

Pulled back into the fray, John struggles to hold the tottering Republic together. Facing threats on multiple fronts, he races against time to stop another EMP attack on the former United States and China, putting years of progress at risk. With so much of his work under threat, John must find the strength within to start over, so that he can save the country and the people that he holds dear from even greater calamity.

After loving the other books and waiting for this one I was extremely disappointed when the author seemingly got tired of making his way towards an actual ending and just nuked the story. Metaphorically and literally. I feel sad and empty. I guess I’ll go play some Fallout 4.

Got tired of it?

Seems like he had an idea, then just got bored part way through writing and hacked together a quick wrap up and called it a paycheque. I found it hard to believe this is from the same author as the other 3 books.

Quick hackjob wrapup

Compared to the other books in the series, this one seemed like it was pasted together as just another title in the series to make some money.

Story was somewhat predictable, but worst of all:
This narration just grates on your nerves …. ‘Johhhhhhhhhhnnnnnn’

Huge disappointment 😡

The "after" saga is one of my best series of all time. The historical Background is perfect and the story is very realistic in the previous novels. But this one, while retaining the historical aspect, falls short on everything else. The start is a slow burner and it's not getting much better later. The voice acting is not helping. It's too much and denatured the characters. Makela is suddenly a fragile and very emotional person just because of the overacting performance. And let's not talk about the ending closing a whole story with such an easy solution developed in 2 pages is very frustrating. It's very painful for me to rate this so low.

Hard to believe this is the same author

As many have mentioned, the main and sub plots in this book were alright, but everything was rushed and hurried along. All 3 of the other John Mathewson novels were amazing, and extremely well developed start to end. This was more of a 9 hour mind game for the star of the series then the usual, survival, protect, defend storyline we are used to.

A bit fast…
