About this listen
Post-apocalyptic fiction by Jerry D. Young.
Sometimes neighbors are great. Sometimes not so much.
Hank Smith was a prepper. But he was a prepper with a problem. He lived on a cul-de-sac road, which was good. The bad part of it was it was on a hill. This would normally be good, but in this case, it put him in full view of the approach to the cul-de-sac and of most of his neighbors.
The result of this was that everyone in the neighborhood saw his large garden, his solar panels, his hand well, and the other items that indicated his ability to get by without much help from anyone else.
Even though his neighbors thought Hank was a little nutty, they respected his right to live the way he wanted. However, when a world war breaks out, will they respect his right to his own property?
About author Jerry D. Young: Jerry D. Young has been a fixture in the survival and prepping communities for more than 20 years. The author of more than 100 novels and short stories, Jerry’s writing has been a staple for men and women of all ages and from all walks of life that are interested in prepping, survival, and all-around self-sufficiency.
Jerry’s works are written with the goal of educating as well as entertaining and generally enjoyed by all who seek to expand their knowledge of prepping and survival topics while enjoying a good book or short story.
As daunting as the end of the world, nuclear fallout, World War III, civil unrest, economic collapse, solar flares, EMP attacks, and other apocalyptic scenarios may be, society has always been interested in the “What If?” of a post-apocalyptic world. Jerry’s stories provide interesting and practical perspectives of heroes and villains navigating post-apocalyptic scenarios including everything from Mad Max types of events to more relevant plot lines that seem as if they could have come from the headlines of the modern world.

Story
Neal Grant watched silently as the cemetery workers buried his family. It was just him now, alone, something he’d never been before. First, his parents and siblings had passed and then his wife and three wonderful children. All of them were gone forever now - all dead at the same time because of a drunk driver and a foggy road. Little did Neal know that this was only the beginning of things to come. Soon he would realize that he had not only lost his family, but must also deal with a failing economy and a nuclear war.

Story
Darlene was a prepper. As she wrestled the polymer barrel onto its stand beside the other five, she thought to herself how a whole house cistern would have been so much better, but she hadn’t been able to get a variance to install one. The particular suburb she lived in was like that. Even with water shortages in the news almost every day, they wouldn’t let her, or anyone else, install a cistern. At least they didn’t deny her the barrels. Possibly because she hadn’t mentioned them to anyone. Darlene smiled as the thought crossed her mind.

Bethany and Gary had a lot in common. Both were independent-minded and self-sufficient. They were well aware of the dangers in the world and did what they could to be ready for anything, just in case. As the world spiraled out of control, it appeared their worst fears were coming true before their very eyes, just as they were beginning to fall in love and begin their lives together. When disaster struck, they would find their preparations and their love would be tested, but would their struggle to survive bring them closer together or tear them apart?

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

Story
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

America is in the thrall of a full-scale socioeconomic breakdown. The stock market plummets, hyperinflation destroys the value of the dollar, and the population, unprepared for hardship, panics. Practically overnight, the high technology infrastructure and chains of supply collapse and wholesale rioting and looting grip every city. Law enforcement, transportation, electricity, fuel, and medical supplies are all in the past now, as the country staggers beneath its own weight.

A good introduction to the concepts of prepping.
So first off, this is a SHORT STORY. Obviously you aren't going to have any character development or much descriptions in such a short story that is covering months of time so although the book lacks these things, it can't really be counted as a criticism, rather just a limitation of the format.
This is not really a character or events driven story, its more a best case scenario, "How to survive nuclear war" primer in the form of short fiction. Its simple, straight forward and easy to understand. There is nothing new, surprising or memorable there if you've read pretty much any other post apocalyptic or disaster fiction. There are no bad apples or traitors in the community, no mistakes are made, is as saccharin and predictable as a 1950's civil defense film reel.
This does not make it bad. It just makes it what it is, a short, palatable example of what a community could do to survive nuclear war. This is not really a book for preppers, its not going to bring out any new ideas or concepts to anyone who has already started prepping.
What is a good book for is people who have never really thought about prepping before. As a simple, non threatening, 'sanitized' version of nuclear war it would be easy for anyone to listen to and if it was their first exposure to the concepts, give them a lot to think about and a lot of prepping 101 type information with just enough story to keep it interesting through its short run time.
It would also be an excellent introduction to the subject for kids. The whole time I was listening I was imaging it as a 'magic schoolbus' episode (what can I say, I have a three year old who knows how to run netflix) In fact I think this would make an excellent illustrated book for kids from the right kinds of families. Its just dangerous enough to get the point of prepping across without doing so in any kind of threatening way.
As for the audio part of 'audiobook' this one is just acceptable. It was obviously produced with a low budget and B list reader. You can hear pages being turned, background noises and clipped words and over long pauses where edits where made. It gets the job done but has a noticeably amateurish production value. Not a big deal but it doesn't really add anything to the experience.

Great book
This is a really great story of how people working together can accomplish so very much good. Loved the prepper ideas, loved how the neighbors worked together, loved no bad language or zombies or constant battle. This is my favorite author and I hope he puts more of his many books on audible for people with bad eyesight like myself. I have really enjoyed them all so far and have re-listened to them over and over. Thank you Jerry D. Young for this audible book. I have read very many of his books when I could see well enough and I’m so grateful for the ones on audible. I look forward to listening to every single book.
