About this listen

In a night of devastating terror, ISIS operatives have unleashed a coordinated attack on America's infrastructure. Life as we know it in America grinds to a halt as the electrical grid collapses, communication networks are damaged, critical bridges and dams are destroyed, and major fuel refineries go up in massive fiery clouds. When the government responds by immediately halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament - trapped five hundred miles from home with a group of coworkers.

With thousands of trapped travelers and scarce law enforcement, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of civilized society no longer apply. As Jim puts his years of preparation and planning to the test, he is forced to ask himself if he has what it takes to make it home. Does he have the strength - the brutality - required to meet this new world toe-to-toe?

Really enjoyed, but with an element of dread. This was terrorism, but would the same issues arise in a post apocalyptic COVID world!

First of all, I really liked Kevin Pierce's narration. His tone and delivery is perfect and added a lot.

I found the writing solid and the plot held up. I definitely recommend it, especially for those who love this genre.

My only complaint is that the book series should be sold as a package. The prices for each one are a bit steep for such a short novel.

One of the better "prepper" books on the market

The book was okay. I may continue on with the series. Fairly action packed and I am a bit intrigued about how things will play out.
If you're the prepper type and can get passed blatant stereotypes (hillbillies, smelly hippies etc.) then this is a good fluffy listen.

Very prepper type
