Publisher's Summary

It has been two years since the Shift - when most technology stopped working, and the laws of physics changed. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Like other survivors, Noah Henson has heard rumors of the Aelves. Among other guesses, predatory aliens seem as good as any other theory for what caused the Shift.   

But for Noah, everything else takes second place to survival, sometimes even self-respect... or any sort of decency. Lawless, post-apocalypse America had forced Noah to make many difficult decisions, and he has never seemed to choose correctly. However, despite hating himself, he doesn't have the strength or the courage to change.   

He will get a lucky break in a big way, through a mysterious orb with otherworldly power.  

In time, perhaps Noah will find another path. And if he does die during the Shift, maybe it won't be the end of his story. Sometimes, another chance can be an opportunity for redemption.

Amazing

I read this when it first came out, and I was excited to hear the audiobook.

When Blaise said that he and Outspan wanted to have an MC you didn’t like at first, on my first reading I didn’t see it — but when I listened to it, with the intonation and the whining and the cowardly tones... I felt it and I couldn’t wait to get on to hear the courageous and clear minded strategic planner that Noah would become.

Ramon did an amazing job, and I was surprised when I teared up in places I hadn’t previously.

Overall I do feel that it’s a great listen.

Loved it but need to get through the first 2 hours (Spoilers in review)

So I was a bit confused when I first started listening to this book. The Authors do a big spiel about LitRPG. After an 1 1/2 hours I’m thinking there is no rpg element, the main character is pathetic and the story isn’t very interesting as there very little information about the world. BUT...... Once the main character goes back in time the whole book becomes awesome! A preppers dream book. Loved it can’t wait for the next!
