About this listen

It's the end of oil. We knew it was coming one day. But it happened so fast!

Devlin Quinn turns 16 the same week that a battle in a distant war shuts off the flow of imported petroleum to the US.

Gas runs low, then runs out, and soon the highways are empty.

And then it gets very serious. The grocery store shelves are empty, and people become desperate for food.

Dev is trained to fight-his father made sure of that-but is he trained enough? Smart enough? Tough enough? He is about to find out when people desperate for food flee the burning cities and attack....

Narrator ruined it

I like the premise and loved Gray but the narrator was really bad. Not enough differences in voices and narration. It was just bad acting.

Realistic View of Societal Breakdown

I loved this book. I think it is realistic of what might happen, and how fast, if oil production stopped. Makes me look at my "prepper" neighbors differently and wonder if I am built to survive. I liked how each character went into survival mode in their own time and manner.

Addicted!!!!!

I just discovered Lou Cadle when I listed to The Gray series (a must listen) , so I thought I would give this one a try, and I'm hooked, amazing story, with one foot in reality, these really make me think. I already bought the others in the series that were not free! If you love apocalyptic stories, this one is a must!

Sorry I bought books 2 and 3…refund anyone?

He said: It’s hard to relate to this telling of a world gone dark.
She said: True, but perhaps if we start with the premise of a book and then leave out writing talent and character development
He said: Perfect, now we stir in sophistic storytelling with barely a hint of originality
She said: Yes, then we’ll start every single sentence with (wait for it)…”He said and She said”.

If you want a story found in the grade school library yet extended well past the 50 pages necessary to tell it… here’s your book.

I'll Give It 5

I liked the story. It has an interesting angle and some of the characters even reminded me of people I know. This author has more books that I recommend others should listen to also.

Boring .

I enjoy stories about disaster. However, I never got connected to any of the characters. Author, in my opinion, kept switching to multiple characters telling the story.
