An EMP hits, the lights go out, the breakdown begins.
When Colby Riker, a former LAPD cop turned skillful bounty hunter is hired to bring in Alicia Scott, an elusive bail-jumper, he figured it was an easy payday - until a catastrophic EMP obliterates the country’s power grid and millions are thrust into chaos.
No electricity, no transportation, no phones, no rules.
As panic grips the City of Angels, Colby soon finds out he isn’t the only one anxious to get Alicia. But in the murky underworld of bail bonds and a grid-down disaster, staying one step ahead isn’t easy. Colby must keep her alive as they embark on a cross-city chase to escape the breakdown.
With no power, do you have what it takes to survive?
Six hundred miles north of LA, his small California hometown’s struggle to survive is just beginning as two feuding families confront each other in the darkness of the Redwoods.
Escape the Breakdown is the first explosive book in the Powerless World saga. From the international best-selling author of All That Remains comes a thrilling, post-apocalyptic EMP thriller series about two families fighting for survival in a world gone dark.

Perhaps the missing element is a sense of urgency. There is probably enough awareness of the post-apocalyptic scenarios that people would respond more aggressively than portrayed in this story. It just seemed like most people viewed the event as a temporary blackout. But when planes are falling from the sky, people are going to freak out! It will be chaos, and every market everywhere will be hit for goods within a day or two. In this tale there is a market that is untouched for days, until two rival families coincidentally arrive at similar times. The first was making an orderly, careful raid. When the second family came it was then chaos.
That is it for the complainants. There were indeed some very realistic elements, such as people mobbing any functional vehicles and some folks fleeing cities.
The narration is very good. I haven’t heard much from Miles Meili but I like his work here.

I really like the diversity of the characters Hunt has created. Besides man-with-a-past Colby, there’s the fugitive, Alicia, that he’s tasked with bringing in. She, in turn, is being chased by Russian mobsters. There's Daisy, a crazy female bounty hunter bent on capturing Alicia herself. And, in Humboldt County, recently paroled Jesse Riker and his family are competing with the Stricklands for control of their mountain town. All these characters and more set the stage for what promises to be quite the showdown.
Once again, Hunt proves his skill as an action/suspense writer. He keeps the tension high and adds twists the reader doesn’t see coming. I like the action just as much as the characterizations and I’m looking forward to more of this story.
Miles Meili is my favorite narrator in the post-apoc/survival thriller genres. I love his straightforward delivery. He doesn’t give an overdramatic performance. It's perfectly suited to Jack Hunt’s style of writing.
This audiobook was given to me as a free review copy, at my request. I’ve now written this voluntary opinion of it.

The choice to go with California as the location is not common in the genre but is a good one for this story. Throw in the dichotomy between LA and the Emerald Triangle and you just made a very interesting storyscape. The characters are a perfect fit. I appreciate the creativity and unique juxtaposition.
Miles Meili does a great job on the narration. Easy to follow, good definition between the characters, professional in every way. The narrator makes or breaks an audiobook. I really appreciate the great job on this one.
I give this audiobook a solid recommendation.
