About this listen

From out of the clear blue sky, an unknown chunk of rock from the frozen void strikes the Earth with unimaginable force, gouging a wound into the very crust of the planet. Millions die in an instant, and millions more await the end as the looming catastrophe unfolds...

Thousands of miles away from the disaster, a call comes in the middle of the night. Families act, and react, and while panic spreads, the world keeps on spinning. Maybe a little slower, and perhaps with a teeny bit more of a tilt, but such things are a mere trifle to the existence of a planet. For the human inhabitants of this planet, though, the meteor's collision will have far-reaching effects as the impact creates ripples throughout their fragile existence.

Bryan Hardin just wanted to create a sanctuary in the country for his remaining family, a place to heal his wounded spirit as he struggles with survivor's guilt and approaching middle age. He's hardly the heroic type, but his family is going to need all of them to act like heroes if they are going to survive the spreading effects of the Rockfall.

The earthquakes are primary effects.

The tsunami are secondary effects.

Will anybody survive the Tertiary Effects?

I enjoyed this on the whole because I loved the survivalist part, but a bit too much of the gun blah blah for my liking, being that I am from Australia with the “ridiculous gun laws”.
I would have liked this much more if there was less of the American superiority. Literally every single other country mentioned is inferior in some way. It’s a very stereotypical.

Decent

I enjoyed the book a lot of information. At times I found it a little long winded and I would loose concentration.

good

I love an end of days novel and had high hopes for this trilogy. I listened to the first as a freebie on audible and though I really enjoyed the narration, I found the story long winded, over detailed and the story didn't go very far in the nearly 13 hours. I paid for the second book, but gave up after a few hours as there is just too much detail and not enough storyline.
If you are into intense detail about doomsday prepping and guns, you may enjoy this more than I did. If you don't like the first book, the second is much of the same...

Long and didn't really go anywhere

Very American, but not in a good way - Too much gun talk. The story also didn’t really go anywhere.

Average

I loved this story with the small exception of the tedious gun descriptions. Perhaps if I was really into guns I’d have loved it. I just don’t have any knowledge apart from basics. So listening to info about different models and ammo’s was boring. Otherwise this was exactly the type of story I love. Feels like how this type of disaster would go in real life.

This was a really great story.

Long winded, lots of political talk which I wasn't expecting. Was just very underwhelmed.

Narrator just didn't do it for me
