About this listen
The world died the day the power grid failed.
Civilizations crumbled and life ground to a halt. Those who survived the transition became something else.
Two years have passed since the lights went out. Crow and his small group of survivors have done their best to forage supplies and live off the land, but danger looms in every shadow. Marauding bands of Traders are on their trail, eager to capture them and worse. Fleeing, the band stumbles upon a secret they were never meant to learn. One capable of transforming the world again this time with dire consequences.
Crow is forced underground and discovers a forgotten world. Entire cities thriving with artificial intelligence still exist, forcing humanity down through politics, fear, and oppression. Trapped between an enemy they can't outrun and one they don't understand, Crow and the others stand at the edge. One path leads back into the growing wasteland. The other into a fate darker than any imagined.
The choice is before them: dive in headfirst or burn out with the light.

Story
It’s been a week without power. No phones. No computers. Nothing. Whatever shred of humanity is left in people is slowly dwindling away. Gangs are forming, people are starving, and the whole country is in a free-for-all. Accompanied by his neighbor, Nelson, Mike leaves Pittsburgh and heads to his family’s cabin in Ohio. For Mike, the only thing worse than not making it to the cabin is the fear of his family not being there when he does.

Story
When an EMP plunges the United States into darkness, Mark Caldwell must lead his wife, Sarah, out of a collapsing city where lawlessness reigns, but their daughter, Hope, is missing, and finding her becomes his first priority. With no power, no communication, and danger at every turn, survival becomes a desperate struggle against both ruthless survivors and the chaos of a society unraveling. Their only hope lies in a cryptic promise from Mark’s estranged brother, Jimmy, a prepper with a hidden, off-the-grid homestead.

President John F. Kennedy once said, “Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.” Today, a new element has been introduced to the preparations—artificial intelligence. The United States, in its quest to rapidly and effectively defend the nation from a nuclear attack, has incorporated AI into its operation plan of response. But what if the artificial intelligence relied upon by the nation’s decision-makers is wrong? What if AI takes the controls of America’s nuclear response? Might it trigger nuclear war without justification?

Tensions are running high aboard The Camelot, a deep-space exploration vessel.

Good performance
This first volume has an interesting plot. I did get lost as it jumped from character story to character story. This probably would be better captured in the written version. The performance was good and enhanced the story.

Disorganized
I think the book had a really cool idea but lacked the proper execution. The jump between characters was often confusing. Flashbacks seemed to be random. I can appreciate wanting to build a mystery, but I was confused about timelines and history to the point that it was distracting. A little bit of world building up front would have been helpful. Characters were fairly unlikable. The amount of cursing was excessive for me and seems to be in there for the sake of cursing. The narrator did a decent job but there was a bit of an echo. Overall, the book had an interesting idea, but the execution was confusing. I will not be continuing the series.

good world building but poor story telling
I really loved the world building. Unfortunately the book was very hard to follow. it has weird flashbacks, poor character development, poor character discriptions , and is written in an illogical order. The plot also left a lot to be desired. it was hard to understand what was even happening. I wanted to like it based ontorly on the world building but it was not for me

Cantabury tales in Blade Runner universe.
Don’t believe the summary. I listened to the whole book and have no idea what happened. A group of people introduced themselves in the apocalypse and then there’s people underground. The narrorator was good, but some recordings had an echo like he was in a bathroom. Would hear more from him, but not this series.

Has too many flaws... But it was okay I guess.
From beginning to the end it keeps jumping between multiple people or groups of people, which pretty much kills a book for me personally... Not just that, but from beginning to the end it seems to kind of randomly sprinkle in their back stories right until the very end, which I thought was weird and too little too late.... Like the book was getting ready to wrap it up or at least it was starting to come together and perhaps we were about to get some answer and it suddenly jumps into a back story. Barely anything connected and we learned next to nothing. I feel like hearing each of their back stories way earlier or even in chronological order, I would've been way happier with the book. In fact if we had no idea about the underground city right up until the end and the book slammed us with it right at the very end it... That would've been something. Now nothing was resolved and the entire journey felt pointless.
The narrator was decent. Not Good, but okay... I'm pretty sure it was recorded inside a plastic barrel. Character voices were all over the place, but perhaps not to the point of being too distracting. I believe the first character the book starts with sounded so terrible that I was thinking about stopping, but then the voice mostly normalized for the rest of the book at some point.

A bit disjointed of a listen but overall good
Lots of good world-building and I’m eager to hear the next volume. Still, the audio was a bit tinny sounding and the story jumped around a lot.

Amazing writing style
One thing I really found fascinating was the way in which similes and métaphores were used throughout the story to depict scenery, emotions, etc. I sometimes found the timeline confusing as it didn’t occur in sequential order but very well written and excited to listen to the next in the series

intriguing
I found myself having to rewind and pay attention as I listened to this book. I haven't read anything quite like it and look forward to the next.

Good all and all
The story jumped around more like a movie and I know people don’t like that but it was a good story
