Publisher's summary

After the collapse of civilization, when the social fabric of America has come apart in bloody rags, when every man's hand is raised against another, and only the strong survive. "Jeebee" Walther was a scientist, a student of human behavior, who saw the Collapse of the world economy coming, but could do nothing to stop it. Now he must make his way across a violent and lawless America, in search of a refuge where he can keep the spark of knowledge alive in the coming Dark Age. He could never make it on his own, but he has found a companion who can teach him how to survive on instinct and will. Jeebee has been adopted by a great Gray Wolf.

A most thoughtful and surprising story.

This was really an unsuspected good read. I found myself satisfied with the ending but still wanting more. What's next?

overdramatic and overdetailed

The narrator is over dramatic and the author often gets lost in details that don't advance the story.

Survival story with too much How to.

The story is good. The characters are well explained. However when he describes how to do some menial task he goes into such detail, it's as though he is writing directions to the task at hand. He does this in almost all of the small tasks as though it will increase the time of the book. It only increases frustration. Other areas where more detail begs for description and is not mentioned.

bad narrative, great book

I wish this had been read, not 'performed'. it's a great read, but the narrator is breathy, and over dramatizes the wrong pieces, imo.

THIS COULD BE THE BEGINING OF A GREAT SERIES!

This book had a different feel to it than most of the 'World breaks down and goes to S*it' Books that Iv'e listen to, "and I have listen/read a couple dozen of them!". I'm giving 4 stars for the story for one reason; I believe this book is a great start to the beginning of a series. There wasn't as much action or Wolf in the book that I had hoped for but a great foundation has been set for more in a possible series.
OK - The world goes to hell in a hand basket. A smart kid bolts out of a town he's not wanted in, bumps into a wolf along the way and the two of them "kinda sorta" start a partnership. Boy and Wolf meet girl, boy and Wolf leave girl, girl goes looking for boy.
Narrator - Kevin T. Collins is not my favorite. His mellow voice took a little to get use too but I warmed up to him a quarter of the way into the book.
Would I listen to the book again? NO. Would I purchase book two? Absolutely!
My hopes are that book two comes out and I get to write a review stating that the book takes off and grabs me right from the beginning.
We shall See. :-)

Worth the wait

I read this book while a young teen and have been waiting for years for it to appear on audible. The narrator Mr. Collins does and excellent job of bringing the characters to life and the story is a good adventure story that makes the hours listening to it go by quickly and easily.
