Publisher's summary

The first in the multi-author, post-apocalyptic blockbuster series

Cal's "honeymoon" didn't start off quite how he'd planned. For starters, he was heading somewhere he didn't actually want to go. And secondly, he was going alone and unmarried. He had no idea that his first visit to New York City would also land him in the middle of a domestic terror attack, forcing him to flee Manhattan in a desperate bid to survive.

This was no ordinary terror attack.

The Movement, in a misguided attempt to seize political control of the USA, unwittingly invited the destruction of their homeland, and as the bombs start to fall, the shock and loss of life reverberates around the world.

Cal, along with a small group he met in NYC, desperately flees inland away from the targeted coastal cities, but chaos follows them around every corner.

Characters

I thought the characters were well developed, over different time periods, and much of the action proceeded from their emotions. Great description of emotions and background, and good pacing. It’s one of those really satisfying good reads you want to look forward to every day.

Well done

Unlike almost all of these post apocalypse books I read, this one I really liked. The story was well structured, the characters acted like I would expect characters in the described scenarios to act and the plot was believable. I only caught two small issues. One, submarines don’t track contacts using radar and two, the navy doesn’t have medics. They have corpsmen. On to Book Two…

If you like very masculine stories than..

If you like very masculine stories than this book is for you. I like survival stories but this feels like it was written by an ex military guy who doesn’t know women very well. I do like the characters and the story however I feel it ended abruptly and feels like half of a book. There is a lot of detail about military things and guns but little detail on civilian areas. The woman’s dialogue feels like a man wrote it. I don’t even normally notice things like that. A good story though and I would recommend it other to read.

S Kaye

Intriguing, exciting and heart throbbing. Had me hooked st the beginning, poor Cal!
Looking forward to continuing.
I’ve never heard of Neil Hellegers before, but he did a real credible job.

Different Type of Apocalypse Story

Very good story so far, does not follow the typical worn out doomsday stories. Nice different take on it. Good characters, interesting story. Narrating is very good. Enjoying this series, starting on next book today!

Good performance

Loved the narrator but the story was underwhelming. It had all the elements of something great but it just never developed. I wish too that there was a pause between chapter transitions. The quick changes to a new POV were confusing

Fair

I agree with another reviewer here with regard to having to leave a written review, instead of just a star rating. Until recently this was still possible. I think more people would leave a star rating if a full review was not compulsory, giving a better representation of the audience's opinion.

Come on! Y’all is hard to say

I enjoyed the general premise but it was very distracting that the narrator has such a terrible way of saying y’all. It’s not plural and not used every time a person is referenced. It’s really only used for more than 1 person.
