About this listen

This first book of the Holding Their Own series, A Story of Survival, is set in the year 2015, when the world is burdened by the second Great Depression. The United States, already weakened by internal strife, becomes the target of an international terror plot. A series of attacks results in thousands of casualties and disables the country's core infrastructure. The combination of economic hardship and the staggering blow of the terror attacks results in a collapse of the government.

This is a realistic story of how an average, middle class couple survives the cascading events brought on by international politics, high tech military actions and the eventual downfall of society. All of their survival skills are tested during the action packed expedition in a world that resembles the American West of 200 years past.

review of book one

The concept started out well, but before long the lack of skill of both the writer and voice actor became apparent.
I don’t think the guy reading the book has ever met a person from the Middle East or even seen one depicted on TV. I laughed out loud as his accent wandered from Chinese to Italian to Indian to.... Russian?
The author believes no one can tell the difference between middle eastern and Mexican?
I suspect the author doesn’t have much interaction with women. All female characters were there purely to provide sexual interest for male characters. I played some of the book for my girlfriend who found the depiction of women to be hilarious.
The characters were one dimensional and poorly developed.
There are definitely much better offerings elsewhere in this genre.

Good concept, poor execution
