About this listen

Terrorists smuggle a nuclear bomb into Washington D.C. and detonate it during the State of the Union Address. Army veteran and congressional staffer Caden Westmore is in nearby Bethesda and watches as a mushroom cloud grows over the capital. The next day, as he drives away from the still burning city, he learns that another city has been destroyed and then another. America is under siege. Panic ensues and society starts to unravel. Through Many Fires is Kyle Pratt's third novel.

Interesting book, but uninspired reader

I have read a fair number of books with this premise - the US is attacked with (take your pick) nuclear weapons, a biological weapon, an EMP burst, a natural plague or some other disaster and things start to fall apart. This book is different from many of the others because the main character is not a "prepper" ready for whatever occurs, does not have some fortress in the mountains or woods and does not resemble Rambo. Instead he is an average person with an average family and is only trying to survive to find those he loves who are still alive. Of course he is not quite "average" in the sense that he is able to attach himself to what remains of one of the state governments, but he is no super hero.

About an hour into this book I came to the conclusion that it was going to be difficult getting through the entire story. The sound quality is fine but the reader is uninspired and the narration is bland and uninteresting. However about half way through the book I found myself interested enough to not want to put the book down as I wanted to know what happens to the main characters and, at the end of this volume, I seriously considered buying the next book, if only to see how the lives of the people turn out. The basic plot seems predictable enough and it is clear where the story is going, but it is not at all clear what will happen to those characters who are central to the lives of the main character, but not central to the overall theme of the book.

I have not (yet) purchased the next volume, but I gave this book 4 stars because I just might.

Decent

Decent story like but it drags on. The narrator's voice is pretty monotonous and rather monotone.

Really Good!

Great start to the series. Loved the story and especially Caden. He has a big heart but his feet planted on the ground and thinks rationally about important issues and the chaos happening around him.

The only downside of this audio book was that while the narration was really good, the voice of the narrator chosen was too old to be Caden. He sounded more like Caden's father so when his father did speak he had to make him sound extra old and he just sounded decrypt. Other than that it was wonderful!

Great Book can't wait for Part 2

I truly enjoyed this one, really liked the way the characters were developed, their thoughts were expressed well and the narrater was totally enjoyable and expressed the characters well. Very much looking forward to the next book in this series at least I hope it's a series.
I recommend it to all.

Better than expected at first.

Some reviews said it was a slow read, so I just sped up the narration to 1.05X and it sounded like the other Kevin Pierce narratives. Good story!

Unrealistic

This was an okay book although a lot of the things that happened and things the main character did are rather unrealistic, if that kind of thing bothers you. Not the greatest book but I did listen through the whole thing. The narrator talked too slow, I listened to it sped up on my ipod.
