Story
On its release, Steven Smith's first book, The Reversion, became an instant classic in the preparedness/ survival/TEOTWAWKI genre. But the reviews and growing readership proved that it was more. It transcended its original target audience to appeal to many who had no previous interest in survivalism or preparedness as a lifestyle and made the jump to general adventure fiction.The reasons for this were several. It was well written, expansive in scope yet easy to follow. It told an interesting, compelling, story - intricate in its construction but smooth in its presentation. It introduced ...

Story
Writing the Stonemont series has been one of the most enjoyable and challenging things I have ever done. And for that I thank you, the reader. When I first started writing what became The Reversion, the first book in the series, I had no idea it would become a book. When it did become a book, I had no idea there would be a second book, and when I finished the second book, I had no idea it would become a series. And now, here we are. One thing I have particularly enjoyed about writing the Stonemont series is that I have been able to teach principles of preparedness and survival to so many ...

In his second novel, The Revival, he once again broke a barrier into adventure fiction, mixing humor and intense action with social commentary, political philosophy and in-depth examinations of comparative justice and cultural constructs - all skillfully woven into a compelling story of personal and societal survival so as to be both powerful yet...

As the world continues to rebuild after the collapse, groups across the country are coming together to form new communities. Some just want to survive. Some want to build a better place in which to live than the one that is now gone. And some want to conquer and enslave others in order to expand their own fledgling empires. In this evolving mix, Stonemont and their allies must navigate the ever-changing dynamics of friends and enemies - and attempt to build a new place in the world where people can live free.

Author's Note - As I have mentioned in past books, this is a sequel to the previous and should be read after the others; The Reversion, The Revival and The Renewal, in order to fully understand it.

For those who have read the first three books in this series, you may have seen that I intended to title this one The Blessings of Freedom and make it the first in a new series called the New America series - my reason being that the action ...

When an EMP devastates the nation's power supply, it doesn't take long for society to spiral out of control. There's no government to guide people. There's no power and no order.

In the immediate aftermath of the devastation, five survivors-a self-sufficient survivalist, a university student, a plane crash survivor, a young girl, and an escaped prisoner-all face a dangerous, treacherous journey towards safety. But as the day goes on, tensions reach breaking point; our survivors soon realize this solar event is far more dangerous than they could ever have imagined.

I love this series if you’ve read the book one second after you will probably like this one as well. The narration is done by an AI voice but it’s really hard to tell, overall great book can’t wait to get into the rest of the series.

A cut above in the apocalypse genre
I have been on an apocalyptic genre audiobook thing for several years now. They usually aren’t worth a credit, so I tend to peruse whatever is available free at the moment, and then pay for additional books in a series if the first book convinces me it’s worthwhile.
This book is what I hope for in the genre. Too many are a gore-fest, or full of one dimensional psychopaths making up most of the characters. This seems more “realistic”. There are some pretty bad people, but it’s not all about that. It’s about how to be the good people, how to manage situations which are probable in a catastrophic situation.
It has given me some idea of goals for my “prepper light” general plans. I especially liked the idea of designing a garage or specific rooms with a faraday cage to protect against an EMP.
Virtual Voice is getting better, but it’s still not great. An AR-15 is often called an “R” or “Are” … and a .22 or .380 is a “point two two” and “point three eight zero” which kinda throws you off at first, and is a constant reminder that this is virtual voice with no real brain. Also the usual inflection issues you’ll know if you listen to many things in virtual voice. There is probably some kind of editing which should be done if a book is going to be narrated with virtual voice in which the text is changed so it will read how a human would know to read it, but the virtual voice mistakes are fairly consistent across a multitude of books so it seems a “find and replace” for commonly mispronounced words could be done to change .22 to “twenty-two” as a normal prep for virtual voice narration.

Fantastic!
I watched Steve's YouTube for years and knew by listening that he had great values. he really put those values in these books and it's extremely refreshing hearing a well-written book, with plenty of clever yet subtle humor, but most importantly, without the terrible language that most books of my favorite genre (apocalyptic) brings. thanks steve!

Outstanding storyline
I have longed to get into Steven C Smith’s book every since they were recommended by Pastor Joe Fox on his YouTube channel. Unfortunately I don’t have much free time to actually sit down and read a book and Mr. Smith’s books were not available in audio format. Much to my delight, I found several of Steven Smith’s books in the plus catalog on Audible recorded by AI. The voice is definitely not Kevin Pierce but it’s not offensive. It’s comical on occasion but it doesn’t pick up on the slang. Pastor Joe Fox was spot on with his recommendation. Reversion is awesome just as he said it was. I highly recommend Reversion and the sequel book Reversion. I enjoy Mr Smith’s content on Patreon, I find it interesting to see him in a new light. Again, highly recommended!

Thoughtful conjecture on TEOTWAKI.
It starts a little slow and gets captivating about 5 chapters in. Good narrative flow, and does not assume too much knowledge from the reader.
