Publisher's summary

In an instant, everything stops. No lights. No phones. No transportation.

When coordinated EMP and Cyber attacks wipe out the nation’s power grid and communications, ultra-marathon runner, Maddie Langston, is forced to run for her life.

Stranded in a Chicago airport when the lights go out, Maddie is in a race against time. According to her father, she doesn’t have long before the city descends into chaos. She must leave the airport before it is too late.

Although she knows she must flee the Windy City, Maddie’s first battle is to overcome her fear of the violence she knows is coming. She’s a fighter; she just doesn’t know it yet.

The perilous journey out of the city becomes even more difficult when Maddie takes responsibility for an orphaned 10-year-old girl. Together, as chaos fills the streets, they must fight to survive in a turbulent new world.

Would you have what it takes to survive?

This heart-stopping, post-apocalyptic thriller is the first book in T. L. Payne's Days of Want Series. Look for Hunted Days of Want Series, book two, June 2019.

For lovers of books by Jack Hunt, Bobby Akart, Kyla Stone, Chris Pike, Ryan Westfield, Harley Tate, and Mike Sheridan.

The First in a New Post Apoc Series!

Turbulent: A Post Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller (Days of Want Series, Book 1) written by T. L. Payne. The narration is provided by Kevin Pierce the voice of the apocalypse. This is a new series about a family that is separated on the day of a coordinated attack that cripples that nation. The main character Maddie is in the Chicago airport when the EMP and the cyber-attack destroy the nations power grid. Her Mother and Younger Brother are also both away from their home in St. Louis. They all were trained by their deceased father how to survive, escape, and evade if the SHTF. The story is enjoyable yet makes you want to yell at all the characters at times for their choices. A hallmark of a good story in this genre. I definitely recommend this series if this is something you enjoy.
 
The narration is provided by Kevin Pierce the voice of the apocalypse. Mr. Pierce keeps the listener engaged during the entire performance. His voice is just soothing perfection to the ears as he reads the words of apocalypse from the author. The production quality of this audiobook is also of the highest quality. I heard no problems during the entire performance. There were not any detectable flaws that I was able to hear during the entire performance such as loops, breaks, or buzzing. The production was crisp and clear. Shaky Rock Publishing delivered an excellent audiobook production. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Excellent story line.

I loved the characters. Very believable especially in light of everything happening in the world. I could do without the swear words; but that’s a personal opinion. I will be reading the next book immediately. Thanks

Very good lead-in to a series

This first book of T. L. Payne’s Days of Want series is a very good lead-in to the series. If the action and intrigue stay at this level this series is a must read for Dystopian/post-apocalyptical thriller fans. The character development, inclusion of very plausible sceneries, and the addition of what many might consider common conspiracy theories regarding FEMA are what make this story worth the time to read.

Pretty Solid EMP Crisis Book

Lots of interesting characters making their way back home or to safety keep this book moving. The bad guys are bad, the good ones vary between morally ambiguous and overall good which is pretty much the way it would be.
Family is important and the characters fight for their family above all else.
I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Kevin Pierce does a great job of narration and delivers again!

Worth a listen.

I really liked the story. But, the reading was very monotone. I almost fell asleep driving while listening to it. I will listen to the the next one though.
