Russ and Anne Mathews live in a rural suburb in Tennessee. Regular people, with regular jobs, living a normal life - except for one thing. They are what many people call "preppers".

They have stocked up on supplies to survive any kind of event they can think of that may occur to disrupt life as they know it. When that event comes, they start preparing for the new way of life they will face. Along with their teenage son, and their next door neighbors and best friends, they plan their exit from a neighborhood too close to the city to a farm in the country. They just have to get there.

Their faith in their own capabilities and in humankind will be challenged, as they fight to protect and keep their supplies and, quite possibly, their lives.

When the Power is Gone is the first book in the A Powerless World Series, dealing with how life might be lived after an EMP. If you like post-apocalyptic fiction, this novel by PA Glaspy is a unique story from a woman's point of view.

I LOVED this book and the narrator was the best!! I look forward to listening to the rest of this series! I am grateful that this awesome series is on audible! I would love also to have it in paperback or hardback book form as a complete book set. I can’t find the prequel anywhere and some of the books that I could find were crazy expensive. Pls make this available as a book set on Amazon at an affordable price! Great job P. A. Glaspy! Loved the book and loved the narrator! Pls keep this kind of books coming.

Great apocalyptic book and fantastic narrator

The author states she just wanted to write a book about a woman like her trying to live in an upside down world. She did a great job at making her a person, making her family people you care about.

This book could be a 5 star story but I'll never know because listening to this narrator is like listening to long nails
on a chalkboard, This is nothing more than
a shopping list

NO NO NO!

The bones of the story are okay but could be even better with some basic work. I want this and other authors to help the SHTF community to learn and not be given poor examples of "tactics".

I hope the author watches some good tactics videos and reads a few tactical books before the next installment. I only say this because I want to like the story and author and appreciate the time that went into it.

There are so many tactical mistakes made in the book the characters would all be dead by chapter six. There is no reasoning with desperate deadly people. Learn what is meant by "there are always other weapons and hidden threats." The characters show almost no tactical skill in spite of some of them allegedly having prior tactical skills training.

The narrator needs to learn about theatrical pause, but if she works on it she could be pretty good with more practice. Slow it down a little, going fast does not add excitement.

Author needs to read up on tactics

I have read and/or listened to a number of books on this topic, some better than others, and what sets this book apart is that it is from a woman's perspective. I have read other's authored by women, but this story has a more realistic and honest feel to it, which makes it more interesting to me - even educational.

I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series and beyond.

Good job P.A. Glaspy!

Entertaining and informative

nothing goes this smoothly on a regular Wednesday, much less during an emp inspired apocalypse . very Barbie-esk, with an instant solution to everything that pops up except for just shooting the bad guys. guessing that at my house, post emp, there will be more visits from Mr Murphy and more shooting but fewer cofflee breaks with fresh baked muffins......probably better suited for teen girls wishing to switch from vampire romance to dystopian fiction. 3 stars for effort

This is a great book. I picked it as my first audible book to listen to over the next week. I finished it in less than 24 hours. I enjoyed the subject from a woman’s perspective and tend to enjoy books with strong female characters. This book has that.

Fantastic
