About this listen

Safety is the dream.

Nightmare is the reality. A nightmare where danger lurks around every corner.

Jack Walker journeyed halfway around the world and completed his daring rescue. He must now return home, traversing a world filled with endless hordes of night runners, the genetically-altered, ferocious species that now inhabit the dark recesses left over from the demise of mankind and now dominate the planet. The only things more dominant are the billions of corpses left to rot where they died.

It is through this world that Jack must use his special forces training to lead a small group of survivors back home to where there is the faint hope of sanctuary. His training is pushed to the limits as he is confronted with situation after situation coming face to face with the night runners. He must walk that delicate, fine edge between action and keeping his kids out of harm’s way; between taking risks and turning away as he continues his quest for survival.

Never having walked away from risky situations, Jack must now carefully weigh his decisions as the stakes are much higher. His kids’ very safety hangs in the balance, along with the safety of the few remaining survivors. This gripping, action-packed tale tells Jack’s story of survival in a post-apocalyptic world filled with peril.

Safety is the dream.

Nightmare is the reality. Those who have survived remember a time when the dream was the reality. But now, the world has moved on.

Superhero Jack does it again

I don’t really like the MC or the narrator, both I would describe as arrogant and trying too hard to impress us. Jack finally takes a backseat one time while the team goes off on another dangerous mission, but of course they fail without Jack who is the only one to be able to complete the mission, single-handedly. And then is called a superhero while the others watch and dutifully ooh and ahhh. All the while, the narrator is using his most Uber man voice to portray this Superman or should I say, Batman with his expensive toys and deep voice?

Ok and with all of that said, there is a lot of action, an interesting story premise and the epilogue in particular makes you Want to keep going. Throw in a ton of details and what if scenarios that the author picks apart and handles flawlessly and you have to admit, it’s a great story.

Wow!

Great fun, exciting to the end. No disappointments. The narrator is great and seems perfect for the intense story.
