Finally, a positive, optimistic approach!

It turns out, zombies, cannibal bikers clad in leather and feathers, militias, rogue government forces, and sadistic gangs are NOT strictly required to tell a good post apocalyptic story. Unlike too many other stories in this genre, this story explores humanities more positive attributes, and that was refreshing.
I found the story engaging and the characterization was well done. This was a soft apocalypse in the sense that infrastructure and supplies were still mostly available and the number of survivors were fairly few. It allowed for characters who were normal people to make plans and follow through, rather than going feral in a kill or be killed world, which, again, was refreshing. The environment and situation were the antagonists.
The narration was well done, as well.
I've listened to this 3 times and will probably listen again because it makes me think about and consider this premise.
I definitely recommend this book.

If I understoid correctly, it was AI that narrated. Sounded good to me. Hope more books are converted to audio books via this program.

This was a nice surprise. Solid characters worth caring about who seem real. Story never drags or goes off course. The writing was solid and made this genre seem new again, which is saying something. I highly recommend the whole series.

The characters were believable and came to life quickly. Shrek's POV was a fun and entertaining touch that I appreciated.
This apocalyptic world was well thought through and added to the ever-increasing danger faced throughout the stories.
Bronson Pinchot gave a good, solid performance that really added something extra to an already entertaining story.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action/adventure in a post apocalyptic world.

The pack books, all of them, are a lot of fun. This one is particularly appreciated as the normal population FINALLY wakes up to and learns more and more about real world human trafficking, how insidiously prevalent it is, how it is organized, and who is funding it and profiting from it. (Epstein/Maxwell are just tye tip of the iceberg) It has been going on for so long unseen and unacknowledged right under our noses. Kudos to Suzanne Wright for including the issue in her book.

This book was worth reading just for the history and in-depth explanation. Clearly and concisely showing the historical parallel modern big tech is Hell-bent on repeating was where this book shines.
The suggested solutions to this crisis Americans face was the icing on the cake that left me feeling hopeful toward humanity.
While those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, Josh Hawley's book seems to say, "We have faced this before and overcome it, we can do it again. Here is how we can start."
Josh Hawley's narration was also excellent. Hopefully, this will awaken more of my fellow Americans so we can clean up this tangled mess.

Good storyline, characterization, dialogue, pacing, and action. Anna Zaires is both a talented writer and a talented storyteller.
Ava Erickson and Teddy Hamilton gave solid performances with their narrations.
If you enjoyed Twist Me, this should be right up your alley.

Buy this book. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Narration was first rate, the writing solid, the characters shine, the world was nicely detailed, and the story all around was great. Can not recommend it highly enough. Can't wait for the next one.

Was great getting an inside peek behind the scenes of Little House. The show wouldn’t have been nearly as good without Nellie.
As an aside, am I the only one questioning why lawmakers would purposefully write in loopholes that legitimize pedophiles and make legal their actions? Governor Newsome in CA just did this again in 2020, BTW, making this legal as long as there is no more than a 10 year difference in age, making it perfectly legal for a 24 year old to have sex with a 14 year old minor. That this is flat wrong is not in debate by sane people. It is time to investigate the motive behind these so-called laws, who is enacting them, and who these loophole laws are designed to benefit, which certainly is not the children.
