Run, hide, or fight are your only options in this deadly game of apocalypse...but you can only run so far.

Steele and his followers retreat before the might of Colonel Jackson's rogue military unit. Jackson is always two steps ahead in their apocalyptic war, and Steele's back is against the ropes. He must find a way to outlast his opponent while holding his loose confederation of allies and former enemies together or face certain annihilation.

Back in her small hometown of Hacklebarney, Iowa, Gwen struggles to convince her cautious neighbors to provide refuge for Steele's haggard forces. If she doesn't succeed, Jackson's noose will tighten, and her friends and loved ones will be crushed on the banks of the Mississippi River.

The remaining loyal United States military implements a daring plan to hold the nation's eastern flank against the dead. Operation Homefront hinges on the successful training of the civilian population for war. Colonel Kinnick quickly finds that not everyone wants their help.

The dead and the living alike march in a struggle for the ashes of a nation. Like a game of chess, every move dictates who will live and who will die in this epic fourth book of the award-winning End Time saga.

Just when I thought "The End Time Saga" could not get any better! Absolutely remarkable! I cannot wait till the next book ("The Holding") comes out.

So much happened in this episode, and I barely noticed the almost nonexistent Zombie fighting. Testament to what a phenomenal novelist Mr. Greene is.

Loss of friends and foes alike, with Steele and Gwen showing new sides/capabilities to their already multidimensional, resilient characters, and loved traveling to Gwen's hometown in Iowa, meeting her family, friends, and even an old beaux of hers from years ago.

This episode certainly left quite a bit of unanswered questions, which I am excited to find out the answers to in the upcoming episodes.

Much thanks to narrator Mr. Keith Szarabajka, who always does a fantabulous job voicing all of the characters. Absolutely terrific! :)

It gets better with each new installment! I especially love some of the new character introductions in The Departing and I'm so excited that they are continuing their journey through the midwest! Keith Szarabajka is a fantastic voice actor and I've enjoyed listening to him all through this series- highly recommend!

I binged listened to this book in less than 2 days. I liked how the story took twists that I didn’t see coming. A few parts were a little off to me. The trial that Kinnick presided over and Gwen’s impromptu candidacy seemed out of place being the danger they were facing. All in all,I enjoyed The Departing. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Fast paced and action packed
