About this listen

When the United States crumbles, and services stop, there's only one thing to do... take your family and run.

What reviewers are saying: "I love a good post apocalyptic book and this was right up there with the best." "The characters are great and come to life... No zombies to worry about just the dying and living." "After reading this book I would not be surprised if apocalypse would happen like this."

Infection (Book One)

The countdown to the end of the world begins silently.

No one realizes there's a deadly illness spreading like wildfire until it's too late. With few symptoms, victims literally drop dead after a brief surge of energy. Within days, it tears through the population of the United States. Now, faced with the very real possibility of extinction of the human race, Cole Evans has only one chance to save his family and survive: a safe haven on an isolated, hard to reach island. Can he convince his brother that the danger is real and that there's enough space for his family as well? But can they all reach the island before the lights go out for them...forever?

Isolation (Book Two)

Cole Evans thought he'd found a safe haven for his family and a growing band of survivors of the most lethal virus the world has ever known. But he finds continued survival is far from guaranteed as they battle hostile encounters with other survivors, nature, and devastating accidents. Are they prepared to survive their first brutal Wisconsin winter after the rest of the world has perished?

Invasion (Book Three)

Plunged into a free for all lifestyle with survival of the fittest the only law, it would be easy for Cole Evans and his family to remain in short-term survival mode, living in the moment. But, Cole refuses to lose his conscience—his humanity—and won't stop fighting for a better future. After surviving a harsh Wisconsin winter only months after a lethal virus wiped out most of the population, strangers arrive from the East. They bring news that pushes them to leave the island and Cole leads his family on a dangerous, but necessary trek across the country to a new home and hopes of a permanent settlement. Their destination: Nevada and the Hoover Dam.

AI is hard to follow no emotions so hard to follow at certain times

the story was very interesting and probable I liked how it went the only thing is with the AI it's hard to follow the storyline when it changes from different characters or if they're happy or excited or sad it's not expressed with the AI so therefore it's hard to get the meaning of which the author was trying to use and I find that I have to rewind to find out if I miss something

Clarity of Story, easy to follow

The plot is compelling and the thrust of the struggle is to ensure the survival of the human race.
The characters are strong and believable and the worth of every human is emphasized.
It's apparent to me that the writer is both a survivalist and a female (as I am) and therefore important details aren't missed like relationships between people, even among the mens' egos!
(As well as pit stops for a pregnant women to pee on the dirt, almost before a battle starts! The humor of this helps defuse the situation.)

The two things which disappointed, in my opinion, is that although a pioneer spirit is necessarily resurfacing, there's a lack of sexual boundaries and respect which will become absolutely necessary when starting over again!
it's unrealistic to think that boundaries won't be needed. Even today I watch sadly as young people are expected to give their bodies before marriage etc
Even a mock ceremony and pledge would have been wise.
Plus I wonder what the two little kids are expected to make of this?
Secondly, another weakness, even more so, is that the author apparently thinks that Cole's gift of oratory i.e. like Patrick Henry will solve the problems of the new local government.
Having been a competing debater, one really needs to realize that man is not as rational as he is emotional.

The author should spend time watching videos of debates. Even friendly ones.
People in general seem to practice the fallacy of I won't be wrong, I've got my pride. I am right no matter what they say! No matter what the facts are!
We already know from history that men have chosen to sacrifice not only their lives but the lives of their families in prideful conflict of opinion.
Please observe two of the most effective members of congress,
senator Kennedy and Ted Cruz.
Even though I agree with most of what they say, it irks me that they don't allow people to even finish their sentences!
I love your writing and kudos to your idealism but you are tragically naive.
Perhaps you could come up with a story line in which the antagonist is severely compelled to unite, such as in exchange for immediately saving his child or wife?
Keep up creating. Love it!

Better than usual in the genre

It was a good book, storyline which was entertaining and kept me attentive through a road trip and other things. There are a lot of apocalyptic fiction I will start and then delete after a few chapters, but I really enjoyed this series.

The virtual voice still needs work, but I’m sure a lot of books wouldn’t make it to audio book with the expense of a good narrator.
