And so it begins....

In the United States, the Department of Defense and the NSA computer networks have been hacked. A nuclear-armed CIA drone has lost all flight control. North Korea...Iran...Russia...and soon the gates of Hell will open.

Defcon 1 - Full Scale Nuclear War

Humanity's most terrifying nightmare has become reality. Bombs are detonated, missiles are launched, counterstrikes are ordered, and within minutes, untold thousands of megatons have left countless millions dead or dying. Devastation of biblical proportions has fallen over the land...and the USA has been hit the hardest.

Now the survivors are on their own....

The death toll is incalculable. Following the devastation, there is no law, no power, no communication. But there are survivors. And now the real battle begins, on the ground, hand to hand, person to person. Can those who remain survive long enough to rebuild a world...or will it just take a little longer for them to die?

this book makes you realize how bad the world would be if there was a nuclear war.

The end is just… BAM done. I feel like there wasn’t much for resolution to all of the conflict within the story. Others have stated they didn’t like the narrator, I didn’t mind him. I have heard much worse. As far as story, if this was truly a survival situation, I feel that there was not nearly enough “scavenging” of resources making it unbelievable. Guns and ammo will be in short supply and between all characters they left an arsenal just lay without simply picking them up. Overall, not a terrible story and decent for the genre.

Not great, not bad

Great story, but sorry - I just don’t care for this narrator. Even with noise cancelling headphones, this narrator is hard to hear sometimes and what feels to me like a bedtime story type delivery. The descriptions of the nuclear exchange, while not extremely graphic are chilling. The characters are well developed, and the story is not overly predictable, but is also very plausible.

Great story, but

Story is good. The narrator sounds like a Smuckers commercial. "because there's a delicious 15 megatons in every bite. Just like gramma used to make"

Everything was very relevant and felt real I still want to hear more about each of the characters that were introduced.

Love the storyline switching

Story line is slow at first, then picks up pace pretty quick.
It almost felt like a old wooden rollercoaster being bounced around from story line to story line so often. Overall, great book and couldn't stop listening to it. I'd definitely buy it again and listen to anything Joe Barrett narrates.

It ain't no 1 second after.

Overall, this is well worth your time. The story is interesting and the structure allows for a wide view of post-apocalypse life. However, the idea of one narrator attempting to portray every character almost drives the listener away. Particularly irritating is the fact that within the span of a few seconds, he alternates between male and female voices. C’mon people, feel free to hire at least two narrators, one of each sex. By the end of the story I felt a strong urge to work a spin kick off the forehead of this guy. Having said that, the storyline is solid, if not predictable with all of the typical one dimensional post-apocalypse characters present. I would have liked to have seen more conflicted souls rather than pure evil or pure goodness. It is worth your time, but don’t expect it to deviate from a well worn story arc. I give this story three-and-a-half stars out of five.

Narrator annoys but doesn’t unravel solid story

Interesting story line but you will be shaking your head every time the main characters fail to save resources or salvage what they need.
