When the power grid fails, what will you do to survive?

After an EMP obliterates the nation's electrical grid on New Year's Eve, it's not long before society unravels and panic ensues. As the lights go out and silence spreads over the city that never sleeps, four ordinary strangers - a bike messenger, a homeless person, a support rep, and an ex-convict - must forge a connection in order to stay alive.

When they realize the danger is far greater than they expected, they must embark on a perilous journey out of the city.

Days of Panic is book one of an EMP post-apocalyptic survival thriller series. It's a powerful, action-packed story about the ones we leave behind and the risks we must take to survive.

I like this story. It was fast paced, but then again all Survival stories probably are. Well fleshed out characters and a new (for me anyway) take on the EMP blasts. I can recommend this book to all. I am now going to procure the next book in the series :)

Good story in Gendre.

EMP event aftermath a little unrealistic but entertaining. Guns and bad people. I do not think people would go bad in 2 days, although those with the disposition likely to go bad eventually.

People will be killing each other in the future regardless of catalyst. Preparedness of one family more expensive than the average family could do; still interesting. When a God ordained end of mankind event comes, guns will not protect people.

I will be getting the sequel and also the Final Impact novel advertised at the end of this book for entertainment only; any doable prepping ideas a bonus, although I am not expecting any useable ideas.

I was not ready for this to end, thank goodness there's going to be more.

I've read quite a few dystopian books over the last year, I find it an interesting genre, and this is one of the better books I've read. The use of EMP is well done, it's interesting to see how quickly society shifts and how different people react.

The characters are a stand out in this book, they're such a wide range of people and each was easy to connect with. They could use some more development but the key in this book was what society and this was well balanced.

The narration was well done, the delivery was well matched to the story line and the character voices were distinct and identifiable.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Great story - get the next one.Following a trek to get a vet home after being homeless (self imposed). On the homefront wife protects her family against typical odds.
Good action - kept me interested enough to want to get the next one.

Entertaining story, but nothing new here. Quick listen with decent narration. I will only listen to book 2 if it shows up on the Plus Catalog. So: worth my time, but perhaps not my money...
Reminiscent of After Sundown by Linda Howard, which was a more positive take. And The End Of Days series by John Birmingham. which was much fresher and really well done.

Pretty good different perspective on where and when people are going to be when the lights don’t come back on?

This book reads as a sanitized script for a TV show. The characters are so predictable that I found myself speaking out loud what they would do next and guessing right. The bad guys are cringe-worthy, not because they are doing evil things, but because they are ridiculously obvious and one-dimensional. Elliott, the former military guy who suffers from PTSD, is just a walking prepper's manual, and his flat companions are there solely to represent the "naive" readers. The dialogues were comical, not because of intended humor, but because they all (including young women and little girls) sounded like they spoke like a 60-year old man, using old-timer idioms. Also, who wouldn't grab a coat while escaping New York on January 1st?? Seriously?
In case the author ever reads this, I must say I admire anyone who can write a book, as I don't think I would have the patience to sit down and do the same. I just wish there was much more depth and dimension to human emotions in a story about a post-apocalyptic world.
One thought about the narration: it was not great, but my bar is really high (Jim Dale), so I guess Kevin Pierce did alright.
I did finish the whole audiobook because I was doing manual work over the weekend and it was more like background noise, but I regret spending 1 credit on this one.

I love post-apocalyptic stories and really enjoy those that feature a main character who isn't an uber-prepper with years of military experience. Maybe it's because I'd like to think that the average citizen like myself could survive a widespread disaster or act of war with not much more than a solid head between my shoulders, some common sense, and good use of my resources. That's exactly the type of story that author Jack Hunt has gifted his readers in Days of Panic. I'm excitedly looking forward to future installments!

Narrator Kevin Pierce always shines in every performance, and his reading of Days of Panic is no different. In fact, I look specifically for works where he narrates because they're all just really good stories!

The book was ok. The performance was better. But overall not interesting enough to continue on with the series.

It was ok.

It was another apocalyptic event type of story and you can only tell it so many ways, but I enjoyed the story and liked how it introduced the characters. It kept my attention.

Good Story
