Westley Flagg isn't your usual lawbreaker. He's a poacher, a moonshiner, and a prepper, out of necessity. Despite trying to live on the straight and narrow, he knows the law can turn things on you in a heartbeat. When Wes has to come up with money for his Grandpa's surgery, he gets involved with an unsavory group. Living deep in poverty for most of his life, he's become resilient and flexible, but college education can only take him so far. A solar storm sends the northern lights as far south as Texas, and cascading failures in the grid cripple the nation. Now, without communications, Flagg has to prove he has what it takes to still survive.

I really enjoyed listening to this book it is good start of a new Post-Apocalyptic series. I loved the characters of Westley, his grandparents, Raider the dog, Jessica and deputy Dave.It is about a solar storm that affects these characters in a small town in Arkansas before West was to go to his teaching job. West and his old time nemesis Lance first does illegal bootlegging deal then get into it after the storm. Look forward to book 2 and great narration.

As the headline says, not too much really happens in this book (i.e., it's a pretty mild disaster scenario) but it was definitely an interesting listen. I feel like the pace and character building in this book worked out really well and it was a light and easy listen. I was actually surprised when I reached the end because it was over so quickly. My largest complaint is the last chapter; I didn't really like how it was handled and felt like it ended quite abruptly in an unsatisfying manner. Clearly it is setting up book 2 but it didn't sit well with me.

As usual, I have yet to be disappointed with another excellent narration by Kevin Pierce!

OMG! THE ENDING!!!

I loved the main character, Westley Flagg. He made moonshine making desirable. I even looked at what you could buy on Amazon to make your own moonshine...I know, I'm weird. I love his Grandpa and Grandma and their bickering. I especially like how the book shows that a group is better than loner survivalists. I can't think of a thing that I didn't like.

I want to make moonshine now

Really liked the characters and story line. I listened to this in 2 days and didn’t want to stop. Another great classic by Boyd Craven III. Kevin Pierce is still the best Narrator around.

Very enjoyable

This was another good book from Boyd Craven III. I have read several of his books and this one did not disappoint. What I like about his books is that I learn something from just about every one. This one was interesting because of all the information about making corn whisky. It was a good back to set up a new series. I can not wait on the next one.
