About this listen

Sometimes the story of an apocalypse isn’t one of tragedy, but one of opportunity....

Dan Slaughter has given up on appearances. With his wife dead and his kids grown, he’s slowly reverting back to the east Tennessee boy he used to be three decades earlier. He quit cutting his hair and started smoking pot. He drinks when he wants to and sings along with the classic songs of his lost youth.

When his childhood friend Carl dies suddenly, Dan agrees to help Carl’s mother with the estate, even when it means traveling across the country to Boise, Idaho. Worse yet, Dan has to fly and that’s no easy task for a paranoid hillbilly not used to following rules.

Once he arrives in Boise, it doesn’t take long for Dan to figure out that there’s a lot more to his friend’s death than he’d been led to believe. He begins to suspect the overdose was actually murder and he can’t let it rest.

Only days after arriving, a mysterious solar event traps Dan in the city, leaving him with no prospect of returning home anytime soon. Rather than panicking, Dan readily accepts the new state of things. For him, the apocalypse is an opportunity. With no law enforcement, his plan to deliver a dose of Tennessee justice in downtown Boise just got a whole lot easier.

I’ve listen to all of Mr. Horton’s books, from the first Borrowed World Series, Locker Nine series, Mad Mick, to Random Acts and Hard trauma. This is a great start to a new series and I look forward to everything he has put out! Great job man!

Franklin Horton does it agin!

Loved the story but I have heard performers make so many mistakes I decided to finally address it in this review. Why is it so difficult for performers to do some research and learn how to pronounce names of landmarks or cities correctly? Irritating.

Great story but...

Excellent first book in this series. A little different slant on the apocalypse and it works! Dan doesn't have a 5 star general for a brother or cousins that just so happen to be Seal Team 6. He's not the manager of a Walmart regional warehouse with the only set of keys to the door nor does he own a gun store. He's just a run of the mill 50 something office worker a long way from home helping out a life long buddy. A situation any of us can easily imagine. The characters are all easily believable and there aren't so many that you can't keep up with who's who. All in all, I couldn't stop listening and can't wait for book 2 to see where the story is going.

Best Book So Far

Some of the no common sense of someone who carries all the time, leave the K-bar, pistol, and rifle in the kitchen, go to sleep in a different room.😑
