About this listen

In the near future, a rogue military cabal launches an opportunistic EMP attack against the United States - triggering a cataclysmic chain of events.

With the United States crippled, belligerent powers rise to fill the void overseas, catapulting already volatile regions into chaos and war - hastening a worldwide collapse.

On the home front, most citizens continue to struggle with the loss of power and critical infrastructure, exhausting their thin supplies and turning to the mercy of an overwhelmed government to survive the winter.

As spring arrives, Alex Fletcher faces a difficult choice. With their food supplies running low, Alex questions the feasibility of staying with the Thorntons and Walkers at their isolated lake community. While searching Northern Maine for a solution to his dilemma - he stumbles on a secret with the potential to destabilize the entire region.

Dispatches concludes the Alex Fletcher series, answering listener questions about the world scene while cleanly delivering the Fletchers' fate.

Excellent

Great wrap up to the series! Ties up the loose ends while leaving room for more should the need arise.

Another great installment...

I still want more, though. Great plot that continues the stories of my favorite characters. Also, the narrator is key in this format, and Farrell is perfect -- assigning distinct voices to each character that simply fit.

Now, will the "Perseid Collapse Series World" books be Audible-ized? Family and work (i.e., starting a small business) don't leave any time to sit down with a good book.

Thanks.

A good addition to the series

Another great addition to the Perseid collapse series. It adds another part in the story of the fletchers which is great. If you liked the first three books this will be right up your alley, but if you haven’t read those books you’ll be a bit lost. What the author also tries to do as well is show the listener a bit of what’s going on outside of Maine, but since he really doesn’t spend a lot of time on it, it’s nice but I felt as if it left me wanting rather than being an integral part of the story. Either way overall I really enjoyed it!

Mr. Farrell does a very good job with the narration.

Awesome!

I loved the way the characters of this series were with each other. Their relationships with each other made me laugh and get stressed. The writing was well thought out, descriptive and made the characters and story come alive! As for Mr. Farrell's narration... AMAZING! He never missed a beat as he rolled from one character voice to the next. He really gave life to each character too!

Was not ready for the series to end!

I have enjoyed the 4 books in this series and the prequel "Jakarta Pandemic." This series is entertaining and frighteningly engaging. The characters are believable and interesting. Praying none of this comes true, but if it does, I will be better prepared!

Is it really the end the Fletchers

It was nice to the Fletchers to actually have their story told. I could have done with more about the Fletchers but overall the book was good narration was done perfectly
