About this listen

After container ships carrying black-market nuclear bombs are detonated in American port cities, millions are killed, and the country is thrown into panic.

In Greenwood, Nebraska, Paul Edwards learns about the devastating terrorist attacks on the news. As the power grid goes down, his fear is magnified by the knowledge that his wife and daughter are a thousand miles away in Atlanta.

When his prepper father-in-law, Buck, insists on being part of the rescue, things go from bad to worse. Paul and Buck have hated each other for years. Now, with deadly radiation sweeping in from the coast and the rule of law crumbling around them, the two men must put aside their longstanding feud in a desperate race to bring their family to safety - that is, if they don't kill each other first.

Your neighbors are just waiting for the power to go off so they can kill and eat you (unless they are good conservative christians, then they'll give you the shirt off their back even if it means they'll freeze tomorrow).

The terrorists are under your bed and could topple America at any second (but only the foreign terrorists of course).

Everyone laughed when you bought all those Bakker buckets and Alex Jones survival gear, but WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!?!?

The author does their best to insert a slightly less insane character as the protagonist, but of course he turns out to be wrong about just about everything, and his paranoid, delusional, bigoted, borderline psychotic prepper father in law turned out to be right about everything... Oh and don't forget to remind your readers that our "sissy" protagonist is actually also a conservative christian in case we started getting any wild ideas about him being a liberal...

And that's without getting into the fact the only black character is a prison gangster, and the only group of latino men that we meet are immediately mistaken for gangbangers. I mean, why not right? They're latino and have guns after all, what else could they be, a mariachi band? Yes, they are literally a mariachi band. That's the level of painfully subconscious racism this book presents with a straight face.

Still, I've read far worse.

Well it certainly is a prepper's fantasy world.
