Publisher's summary

At the end of the world, who will survive the last days?

For 10 years, war and famine ravaged the population.

Lawlessness spread across the country.

What was Dylan willing to do to keep his family together?

In Las Vegas, Nevada, Dylan, his family, and their loyal Australian Kelpie, Pepper, are like everyone else. They scrape for food and do whatever it takes, but at least they’re in one of the few remaining cities where they can keep the family together. It was hard, but everything changed the day Dylan’s daughter decided to leave.

How would he get Maci back?

When Maci left with her boyfriend, Logan, she had no idea what they would discover in the rest of the country. It was worse than she imagined. Raiders, cannibals, and rogue factions roamed the countryside and there wasn’t anyone to stop them. It wasn’t long before she realized the real threat.

Logan had turned into a controlling monster.

Was there any way to escape him?

How could she get back to her family?

As Dylan ekes out a living in the fight clubs, he hears of a safe place across the country in Wisconsin, but until he gets his daughter back, they can’t go anywhere. There’s just one problem.

Finding out where she went just might get him killed.

You’ll love this post-apocalyptic thriller, because this family's struggle to survive is fraught with the most amazing challenges, and it will take a clever plan to get them all back together.

From best-selling author Derek Shupert comes The Last Days of Want, a survival thriller featuring flawed, complex characters and riveting action adventure. A disaster/post-apocalyptic series perfect for fans of Ryan Schow, Kyla Stone, Franklin Horton, Jack Hunt, and Boyd Craven.

Get it now.

First of a series but worth the listen

This was a fun and engaging book. I’d have some issues with writing and phrasing on certain parts, but it is preformed well and not enough to take away from the story. It was a credit well spent.

great book

I wish this book was longer. I loved every minute of it. The scary thing is that I wouldn't put it past the government doing something like that.

Good story

This was a bit hard to track at the beginning as it doesn’t give any background on how society got to where it is now. Not a huge deal, but I would prefer even a tiny prologue giving us an idea of how we got here. It’s twisted and I like that. It goes to show what can happen with a disarmed populace. Seems China-esque. Ready for book 2.

YOU WILL BE CHEERING FOR THE CHARACTERS

Great writing. Several times I found myself on the edge of my seat as I was listening to the story. Talking out loud cheering on Griffin...can't wait for the next book in the series.

Liked it for the most part

I liked the story, loved the narration (Kevin Pierce!), and liked most of the characters. EXCEPT, they never explained what happened and they rotated between characters the entire book without ever connecting them. I had to keep looking at the Amazon write-up to now who was who.
