About this listen

A father and his family find sanctuary in their old family homestead, hidden deep in the forest during an EMP crisis.

Cody Russell leaves the city with his family and heads to his father’s old homestead, concealed deep in the woods. For Russell, the only thing worse than failing to reach sanctuary is the failure to protect his family in this dangerous post-EMP world.

I’ve read this author’s books before and thoroughly enjoyed some of them. This one, the characters aren’t believable. Within hours of the fall happening, the hero (enough of a prepper to have a bug out bag and know about EMPs), is trying desperately to save his family and doesn’t take four working hand guns he comes across - when he only has one. That is not realistic. He keeps saying how dangerous everything is now but leaves guns that could save his family.

Next, with very little fuel and carrying a siphon tube and funnel, he drives past multiple vehicles with no one around but doesn’t think to stop and get fuel.

Then driving at night with the lights on he sees a lot of people, armed men across the road, and doesn’t think, ‘oh this is the only working vehicle around, they might rob us and leave my family unprotected’. No, he tells his wife and kids the men will be fine they will talk to them and drive through. Of course, it turns deadly quickly and when he’s able to escape by reversing, he laughs loudly as he drives away. Really? And his wife, a normal housewife within an hour of the story beginning, turns into GI Jane.

So far? I’m up to chapter 12. If it continues like this I will not finish the story. I only hope it actually finishes and isn’t the start of a series.

Big discrepancies. Disappointing
