What would you do if the world as you knew it suddenly came crashing down around you?

A financial system in shambles, America slowly slips closer and closer toward collapse.

As everything is in ruin, a suburban city burns.

As small group of unlikely survivors bands together to weather the storm. A few well prepared, well-armed, and well-trained friends band together. Police Officer John Gonzalez, recently wounded in the line of duty, rallies his group of thrown-together friends into a tight group to survive the end of the world as we know it in the City of Kankakee, an hour South of Chicago. Dystopian Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Fiction Survival

This book pulled me in. I was living the story in my mind. I hope the sequel dosen't take too long.

It was like being there.

The story was good and well written. The choice to use AI narration took away from a 5 out of 5 audiobook experience.

Great Story not so great narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Loved the story and think it would’ve been so much better with an actual narrator. The AI lacked emotions and had issues pronouncing certain words which distracted from story. If there is a book 2 I hope the author reads these reviews and decides to have an actual human read the audible version

No emotion

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The designers of the virtual voices need to improve on the emotional part of telling the stories. I would have liked this book much more if there were variations of voices and emotion to the speaker.

boo on virtual voices
