About this listen
A nuclear attack. A collapsing society. A world covered in ash.
The Alt Apocalypse is the newest ground-breaking series from Tom Abrahams.
It explores survival under the most extreme circumstances, but with a twist (and no cliff-hangers). This series, which can be heard in any order, features the same core characters in each complete story. But every audiobook dunks them into a new, alternate apocalypse and a nuclear holocaust - an earthquake, a flood, a wildfire, a hurricane, a plague, and even zombies.
Different heroes will emerge in each novel. Different characters will survive and perish. Your favorite character dies in one audiobook? He or she will be back in the next. In the end, you'll unwind the loose thread that connects every character and every stand-alone story.
In Ash, Abrahams tells the story of four college friends, an ex-con, a lonely fry cook, and a secretive group of prepared civilians as they each battle to survive in southern California after a series of nuclear attacks. Theirs is a gray world covered in ash and nuclear fallout.
Do they hunker down? Do they bug out? Do they find their salvation above ground or below?

Story
Before the lights went out, Jack Warrant never considered himself a prepper. That was someone on the edge, a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday cultist who had a fatalistic view of the world. He was neither a theorist nor a cultist. He was an optimist. At least that was what he told himself when the darker thoughts creeped into his psyche as he stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night. Whenever he started down the rabbit hole, he always clawed his way back into the sunlight.

When a series of devastating terror attacks brought down the United States, Conor and Barb assumed they were safe in their compound. They had everything they needed. They were armed and highly trained. But then, Barb was kidnapped. The kidnappers didn’t know why Conor was known as The Mad Mick. They didn’t know the fear and respect his name invoked in the shadowy underworld of covert operations. They didn’t know that when it came to protecting his family, he was without conscience, without compassion, and without equal. But they would soon find out.

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

Matheus Taylor didn't ask to be murdered. To be fair, the percentage of people actually asking to be murdered is probably small enough to be safely ignored, but he felt it was worth stating regardless. His life might have been ordinary, but it was his life and he wasn't done with it yet. Quin didn't care. A 1,700-year-old Roman, Quintus Livius Saturnius had a different view of morality than most people. Killing Matheus and hijacking his undead existence seemed perfectly acceptable to him.

Story
What’s the point in solving murders if we’re all going to die soon, anyway? Detective Hank Palace has faced this question ever since asteroid 2011GV1 hovered into view. There’s no chance left. No hope. Just six precious months until impact. The economy spirals downward while crops rot in the fields. Churches and synagogues are packed. People all over the world are walking off the job—but not Hank Palace. He’s investigating a death by hanging in a city that sees a dozen suicides every week—except this one feels suspicious, and Palace is the only cop who cares.

Story
The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

From the moment I saw her through the window of her flower shop, something other than darkness took root inside me. Charlie shone like a beacon in a world that had long since lost any light. But she was never meant for me, a man that killed without remorse and collected bounties drenched in blood. I thought staying away would keep her safe, would shield her from me. I was wrong. Danger followed in my wake like death at a slaughter house. I protected her from the threats that circled like black buzzards, kept her safe with kill after kill.

Before the lights went out, Jack Warrant never considered himself a prepper. That was someone on the edge, a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday cultist who had a fatalistic view of the world. He was neither a theorist nor a cultist. He was an optimist. At least that was what he told himself when the darker thoughts creeped into his psyche as he stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night. Whenever he started down the rabbit hole, he always clawed his way back into the sunlight.

Great survival story
I enjoyed this listen. It didn't wow me but it was definitely an interesting tale. What you'll want to keep in mind is that this isn't a story about the how or the why of the apocalypse but a story of a couple small groups of people and how they react and try to survive in reaction to the nuclear attacks. My biggest gripe is that I just didn't feel too attached to some of the characters and when certain events occur it didn't really feel like there was a major impact. With that said, I wasn't bored with this listen and overall it was enjoyable!
Narration by Kevin Pierce was as expected if you've listened to any of his other works; a pleasant listen as usual!
Overall, this book is worth a listen if you're interested in survival stories. I like the premise of having the same cast revisit different scenarios and it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

A Brand New Take In The Post-Apocalyptic Genre
I'm going to directly quote Abrahams here because I wanted to point out the exact thing that he's hoping to accomplish with the Alt Apocalypse series:
"It explores survival under the most extreme circumstances, but with a twist (and no cliff-hangers). This series, which can be read in any order, features the same core characters in each complete story. But every book dunks them into a new, alternate apocalypse; a nuclear holocaust, an earthquake, a flood, a wildfire, a hurricane, a plague, and even zombies. " So there you have it - he's going to re-use the cast and characters throwing them into different situations. I love the idea behind this because it will show you that some people are geared to survive one apocalyptic event but not another. I think that this is a unique take on the PA genre and I can't wait to read the other stories he's crafting.
I don't normally stop to highlight a quote in a book while listening to the audio unless it's really quotable or something that stuck out to me. I ended up stopping while reading Ash to highlight four times. One of them was: “this is LA. There are as many hills as there are douchebags.” “Probably more hills,” added Jesse. “A lot of those douchebags are dead.” - I died when reading this line. I don't know why it felt so perfect in this book - definitely my kind of humor.
I'm sure that the ven diagram of pop-punk listeners and post-apocalyptic readers isn't very big but I couldn't get a specific song out of my head the entire time I was reading Ash. Grey by Yellowcard basically the chorus is "It's all gone grey..." and the way that Abrahams wrote Ash - this fits pretty darn well.
So, to quote him again, Ash tells the story of "four college friends, an ex-con, a lonely fry cook, and a secretive group of prepared civilians as they each battle to survive in southern California after a series of nuclear attacks." each one of these groups or single people brought a different side to this story. I think I liked the secretive group and the college kids the most. They were totally different but had me totally enthralled.
Overall, Ash is something that I don't get to write and mean too often. An original post-apocalyptic story. Sure, some of the things in it you can find in other books but I'm looking at the series as a whole. This is something that no one that I know of has done in this genre and I'm excited for things to come.
The audiobook was only taken to the next level by the voice of the apocalypse himself, Kevin Pierce. His narration really helps take an already great book and make it better. I'm thrilled that Abrahams and Pierce are working together on another series.
I request a free copy of this audiobook - it has not affected my review in any way.

Exceptional alternate apocalypse book.
I loved this book. Not a story that follows the normal outline of apocalypse stories. Kevin Pierce was solid as narrator. cant wait to hear more of him. will be terrible to wait until August to see what happens to who.

Fantastic New Way to Start a New Series
Ash-The Alt Apocalypse, Book 1 by Tom Abrahams and Narrated by Kevin Pierce
The Author Tom Abrahams is taking the Post Apocalyptic Genre and doing something unique with this story and series. Mr. Abrahams states, "Each book in the series will explore survival under the most extreme circumstances, but with a twist and no cliff-hangers. This series, which can be read in any order, features the same core characters in each complete story." As a listener this a fantastic approach to the genre. The listener gets one-off stories with a resolution from a great author and narrator.
The story is set in southern California at the start of a nuclear event. You have 4 college kids, a secret society type of group, an ex-con, and a cook. The struggle to survive in the overpowering Ash of the title is really visually horrifying as the events unfold. This is a great cast of characters created by the author and the fact they will get dropped into the pot to face a whole new apocalypse again makes them even more interesting. The story holds the listener's attention throughout the entire production. The narration provided by Kevin Pierce is once again outstanding. No one else narrates the end of the world like Mr. Pierce.

This is an interesting premise for a series. Its nice to listen to an apocalyptic book that isn't over the top. The characters were pretty unique and I look forward to hearing more in this series.

Solid Characters, and an Intriguing Concept!
Abrahams did a great job of creating memorable characters that I became invested in. I'm really looking forward to seeing the paths they all take in the coming books!
I appreciate the time taken to build interpersonal relationships between characters, rather than spending unnecessary time and focus on technicalities and superfluous details and tangents. I think the character focus will really pay off throughout the series.

Another awesome audio by TA
First, I will say anything this author does you can expect the best and KP brings the story and characters alive. The details of LA being nucked and the pain and death of persons in the nuked area and outside was much better and showed the author had really research on what would happen to the people. The characters are four friends in college and their adventures in trying to survive and what had to deal with and people who was alive that had been deformed from the radiation and thugs who was out to survive by any means and were slowly dieing from the radiation and finally killed by the four students who they were trying to get to kill and rob. You meet Danny a man who the world had collapsed before the nukes fell and he was just trying to survive with his dog. To me this man was the most interesting person because as you listen you learn more and more about him and how far he will go to save his dog.
I highly recommend this series of books and if you read or listen to any of Tom Abraham look for them and try them i can guarantee you like what you hear and read.
