About this listen

In a night of devastating terror, ISIS operatives have unleashed a coordinated attack on America's infrastructure. Life as we know it in America grinds to a halt as the electrical grid collapses, communication networks are damaged, critical bridges and dams are destroyed, and major fuel refineries go up in massive fiery clouds. When the government responds by immediately halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament - trapped five hundred miles from home with a group of coworkers.

With thousands of trapped travelers and scarce law enforcement, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of civilized society no longer apply. As Jim puts his years of preparation and planning to the test, he is forced to ask himself if he has what it takes to make it home. Does he have the strength - the brutality - required to meet this new world toe-to-toe?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, for sure a realistic encounter of major terrorist attack or apocalyptic event, interesting based on real people going about their business: When ...hits the fan; most enjoyable and thought provoking made me realise I am not prepared even for a short period. Delivered with great characters, narration kept me absorbed so much so went on to book 2 and 3 and enjoyed them all immensely. So for a more realistic end of Days Type Story this is a must. 4 stars.

Realistic and thought provoking

If you like prepper fiction, this is one of the best I've found.
For this genre this book has very few if any plot holes. Characters are well developed. Scenarios are plausible and a bit frightening.
Gear used is realistic. The author isn't too preachy. Narration is well done.

Well done
