In this book, the initial devastating attack described in book one is basically complete, and the government is struggling with control, while individuals and families deal with a now lawless, fuel-less country with poor communication and increasing risk of starvation. There are only nine meals between civilization and anarchy, it has been said. And so it is, as we are well past nine meals.

In book three, The Survival shows the transition as families and neighborhoods are forced to either fight one another or work together to defend themselves against not only the increasingly powerful gangs, but an equally powerful, and equally ruthless government. The issue has now just become one of survival. In a matter of months, entirely new societies have formed.

Finally, in book four, The Renewal, the conflict, and resolution, come to a turning point.

As a long time fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, I have read and heard many of the best. As a reference point, this author chose to use music to close the chapter, and the same music to open a new chapter. It was quite frustrating in this audible lull. Also some chapters included multiple scenes in stories without clear segregation and introduction.

Ok storyline with incessant music

Much slower than expected. Book 1 had more action. Undecided if I’ll try the next. Probably not. Disappointed after a great start in the first.

Not as good

Excellent story line and character development. Well narrated. This will happen folks and it takes a few good men and women to stand up

I came to HATE hearing the music 🎶 at the end and beginning of each chapter. I got thru the book by fast forwarding the music by10 seconds each time it started. Otherwise I would have stopped listening

LOOSE THE MUSIC

This book and the previous one are interesting listens. the pacing is decent, character development good, premise and action/consequence sequences are believable. It's a series that makes you think about vulnerabilities in the systems around you and how easy it would be for a small distributed group of bad actors to disrupt.

I would highly recommend it as long as you are able to set aside that one plot assumption every mil-syfi, post apocalyptic, zombie fiction book seems to have. Most are right leaning, some are left leaning but....as in this book you have to be willing to accept that everyone who works for the 'gubment' in any capacity is evil, corrupt, incompetent or at best naive and weak willed.

In this book...Everyone. Absolutely everyone in the fed, city and state government is painted as above. From the janitor to the security contractors to the admins to anyone officer level up in military to every public servant. Every single person is willing to stand aside and follow or give morally objectionable, openly psychopathic orders and make sure they get their piece of the spoils Everyone in any position of power is so incompetent they can't manage simple organization tasks, personnel management and yet they were able to somehow able to put in place a multilayered plan and logistics to subdue an entire populace and get into that position of power?

In all honesty I get it and can suspend disbelief. But just once I wish an author wouldn't take the easy way out. What would make a good book series like this into a great series would be also showing the machinations of the diabolical faction and how they subdued, coopted, destroyed the forces that tried to stop/leak the plans. I wish it would show the true grayscale that exists and how that played into the plots. Instead we get the same old us against them. Hard working "true Americans" vs Big City "Snowflakes". same ole, same ole.

Interesting listen
