About this listen

The Librarian has a race to win, a message to send, and he’s surrounded by clowns.

Television is back and the Omega Run is the biggest show in the wasteland. Contestants from all over travel to The Cleave to compete for a chance at stardom in what is billed as the Last Race You’ll Ever Run.

The Librarian and his friends are looking to send a message, and Cleave TV's reach is unmatched. All he has to do is win a race through what’s left of Cleveland where he’ll encounter the dreaded war bison, brutal ballerinas, post-apocalyptic hockey players, a circus full of killers and more.

But he’s not the only Librarian in the game. Thomas Caine and his Remnant allies are interested in doing a broadcast of their own.

It’s simple. Two Librarians enter. Only one can win.

The Duck and Cover Adventures continue in book six, Champion of the Apocalypse.

It’s the end of the world as you’ve never known it in this laugh-out-loud look at the apocalypse that readers are calling “Mad Max meets Monty Python” and “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Wasteland.

I have waited years for this to come out, and didn't know if I'd see another installment in this series. I consume everything in the post-apocalyptic genre, and this series really is one of the very best. Comedy mixed with action in a post-apocalyptic setting is just refreshing. I love your work, Benjamin.
Phil is a pleasure to listen to as always, and the bloopers at the end caught me completely off guard.
This series is something truly special, and it reminds me of when the tv series "Firefly" came out. I get that same feeling of being a part of something with enormous heart. It's rare these days.
We live in angry, confusing times, and this kind of escapism is always welcome. I wish I could listen to this whole series for the first time again... I know I can't do that, but I'm going to go back to book 1 right now and start again anyway.

Masterfully written and masterfully performed
