In this riveting, ultrarealistic novel from J. L. Bourne, a man struggles to survive after the US infrastructure collapses and martial law engulfs the streets of America.

In the not-too-distant future, during an unacknowledged mission inside the Syrian border, a government operative unwittingly triggers an incredible event that alters the course of society. A terrible weapon has been unleashed - a weapon that, left to run its course, will destroy the moral fabric of humanity.

In the midst of crisis, the population struggles to survive in a world short on vital resources. Inflation cripples the US economy, and post-war armored military vehicles patrol the streets.

One man stands up to push back the overwhelming wave of tyranny triggered by the onset of nationwide martial law. How can he possibly succeed against a high-tech and tyrannical enemy that is hell-bent on ripping liberty from the pages of future history?

From the author and military expert who brought listeners the riveting horror series Day by Day Armageddon, Tomorrow War is a compelling account of an alternate dystopian America located just down the tracks of oblivion.

I enjoyed J. L. Bourne's day-by-day armageddon series, and recommend them. But this book beats them all.

The details of this adventure, if one can call it that, drive the story. But it's the all too possible scenario that is frightening. I'll stop there so you can enjoy it, yourself.

But here's a paradox for you. This is a compelling story in spite of the fact that about 99.9% of us won't be able to identify fully with Max, the protagonist. Most of us don't have the level of combat training, an ultralight aircraft, access to all the right weaponry and ammo including grenades, a home with acres of land and a cousin with a backhoe to dig out a spot at a moment's notice for an underground bunker, and so on. Max also has almost superhuman endurance, given the amount he accomplishes in hours.

Maybe you fit this description. I don't. I would probably end up in the FEMA internment camp or worse, dead.

It's also an incredible stroke of luck that Max could find high explosives and that he accidentally runs into a communications expert holed up in a train car with essentially unlimited access to water and soup (and later, meat!).

So, with all of these elements bending credulity well beyond the breaking point, it is a testament to Bourne's writing skills that this is still such an engaging page turner. It was a test of will to make myself press the pause button.

Indeed, if I can find any real flaw in this book, it's that the ending wraps things up too quickly. I wanted several hours more. I want to know who planned this disaster, and why. Hopefully we'll get those answers and many more hours in follow-up books.

What about Kevin T. Collins and Jay Snyder ’s performance did you like?

The book is a solid listen. The narrator's performance is excellent and top notch.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The uses the US government as it's main villain. It is almost to a fault. A couple of time in the book, I found myself asking "Why is the government doing that?" In short, the book has the government acting like WWII Nazis. Overall the book is solid. If there was a series, I would definitely listen.

Not quite a prepper story since the main character is a military operative who happens to have his own private aircraft, but a very good book all the same.

A solid non zombie apocalypse

Interesting read with everything going on the world, makes you wonder some.

Decent story, the second half felt a little rushed and lacked some depth.

I'll be reading his other series Day by Day.

Good listen

Great start but the story lost momentum and boredom set in.. I had a real problem with some of the dialogue. Not realistic. Disappointed: such a promising start. Not sure if I'd pony up for the next book in the series.

It was okay...

Interesting story. Good use of EFP technology. Some breakdown of logic with regard to the military skills level of Max, but otherwise ok. Should have been written as a first-in-series, rather than a complete book in and of itself.

Like a Michael Crichton book, the story starts with current headlines and extrapolates to a Tom Clancy story of intelligence and covert operations.

The extrapolations were interesting and the main character's work preparing for action and taking action held my attention. Overall, I would recommend it as a good listen for the daily commute.

Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy mixed together
