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.

Story
Several years ago, an ARkStorm, a once-in-a-thousand-years flood event caused by a series of intense atmospheric rivers, flooded the Central Valley of California from Sacramento to what was once Los Angeles. The weight of the water was equivalent to the volume generated by the Mississippi River times 22. It challenged an already fragile seismic system consisting of hundreds of active faults.

Dark times indeed!
<b>Book 1</b>
Seeking Shelter? (Per the narrator, title wasn’t listed in the index, weirdly.)
This was an okay read, I liked how it started out seemingly normal and then showed the moment the world as we know it ended. It did have quite a long battle / defending the homefront scene, if that’s your jam, you should read this one!
<b>Book 2:</b>
Surviving the Collapse, Book 1
Sort of slow-paced, not as fun as other Wise EMP books I’ve read, but okay.
*Weird sound quality for the audio, which was extra noticeable after the previous read sounded better.
<b>Book 3:</b>
Surviving the Collapse, Book 2 “by James Hunt” (I already suspected Hunt and Wise were the same person based on writing styles … this accelerates that suspicion.)
There’s a lot more action in this one, it’s suspense-y and the level of fun I expect from Wise. Better than the other two except: <b>Continuity issue.</b> The reader is told that Rodney’s cabin has “enough food and supplies to last them for a long time.” “Them” being the group he’s traveling with. However, the previous book stated he had enough food for ONE PERSON, and for a limited amount of time. It was a year or less.
I find continuity issues annoying, I shouldn’t know what a book says better than its writer. Overall though, it was a pretty fun read.
The narrator was awful. Dennis, a major character, has changing accents throughout, terrible continuity.
<b>Book 4:</b>
Into the Dark, written by Robert Walker
This one was okay … slow start… slow middle. A bit of excitement … a battle scene that was very underwhelming … and then an abrupt ending.
Overall: 3 stars, all authors seemed to take some shortcuts.

Should have been two books
Great way to stray from the usual nuclear post apocalyptic storyline. The POV bounce around was unnecessary though. This was a two book series reaching for credits
