About this listen

Five-books-in-one complete box set! From the USA Today best-selling author, Amazon all-star award winner, and top 10 sci-fi writer of The Last War, Dark Days of the After, These Times of Abandon, and Population Zero comes a high-concept, adrenaline-fueled post-apocalyptic survival thriller like no other....

If the grid goes down and all hell breaks loose, will you have what it takes to survive?

A family breaking apart, a missing girl, the worst attack in American history…

.…how do you survive the collapse when you have already hit rock bottom?

When a sudden, unexplained spasm of violence rocks the country from coast to coast, several groups of survivors are left to wonder if this is the start of a new world war, or the last chapter of humanity itself.

Are humans in their final days?

The EMP has officially crippled the nation and her infrastructure sits in ruin. Can a burned-out DEA agent, a Guatemalan-born cartel daughter, and an estranged brother find their way back to their families, or will they succumb to the perils of a nation in steep decline?

Also available individually in paperback and Kindle editions.

The Complete Age of Embers is a no-holds-barred post-apocalyptic adventure series chronicling a nationwide descent into a powerless world. Although this series is written in the Last War universe, and characters from each series overlap, the two sagas can be enjoyed independent of each other.

The Complete Age of Embers Series:

  • The Age of Embers
  • The Age of Hysteria
  • The Age of Reprisal
  • The Age of Exodus
  • The Age of Defiance

Note: This series contains the kind of strong violence and adult situations you would expect in an end-times event. Listener discretion advised.

Now scroll up, grab yourself a copy of the box set, and settle in for one heck of a ride through the apocalypse!

Good story

This is a really good apocalyptic story. The author writes in such a descriptive manner and the narrator is amazing! Recommended.

Action and Funny

Great story. Sometimes frustrating and suspenseful. Kevin’s narration brought comedy in a dark survival story. His tone and comedic voice made me spit out milk from my mouth with laughter and I would lose my hand strength from the laughter and could not work on my diamond painting! 🤣 Very entertaining. Keeps you engaged through all 5 books. A new author in my favorites list.

Good listen .

Goes away from normal apocalyptic zombie end of the world scenarios. New idea for eotwawki. Different take on terminator walking around.

Interesting

It was a interesting series. I enjoyed the stories of the brothers and their families. I didn’t like the ending in book five, but still enjoyed the story and excellent narration.

Great story

Loved the books, excellent narration…..a couple of plot details seemed out of character but nothing that detracts from a great listen!

different in an interesting way

not your typical shtf book, I enjoyed it, but it gets very jumbled at times bouncing between characters. you can tell the author avoids talking about firearms with a constant lack of ammunition in everything they find " they found a gun with one round" or "the attackers came with empty weapons"... aside from that it's worth the credit

compelling and terrifying

I and my family listened to this series during a 2600 mile road trip from Montana to Michigan and back. it made the long drive seem less stultifying and endlessly endless. I love Kevin Pierce's narration. His female voices made me laugh a little. He's a very talented voice dude though. I'd listen to more of him for sure. and I'm a huge fan of Ryan Schow now! Never heard of him before this series. Glad I found him. Love his take on the craziness of this shi*hole world we live in, and its devolution into chaos and softness (pre-AI and EMP). Yuck. Long live the alpha males!
