About this listen

Forty years after the destruction of civilization...man is reduced to salvaging the ruins of a broken world. One man’s most prized possession is an ancient novel. With the words of the classic echoing across the wasteland, the survivor of the nuclear holocaust journeys into the unknown to break a curse. What follows is an incredible tale of survival and endurance.

One man must survive the desert wilderness and mankind gone savage to live the classic struggle of man versus nature. Part Hemingway, part Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, a suspenseful odyssey into the dark heart of the post-apocalyptic American southwest.

Still one of my all time favourite series, would love to see more stories from this world.

Enjoyed the narration, suits the story

I wish the author had assigned a narrator because the story was great but I found his delivery really stilted and odd. He has an excellent voice but kept putting the emphasis on the wrong words and I felt he was overly dramatic during the quiet parts of the story, which was really tiring.

Great story, very clunky narration.
