About this listen

Jack Miller isn't too worried about the apocalypse. He has been prepping for a few years and has a basement stocked with the food and supplies his family needs to ride out a disaster. Today though, he is out of town on a business trip. An EMP strike delivered by a rogue nation leaves him stranded over a thousand miles away from his home. This is the last place he expected to be during a disaster. He sets out on an epic journey home armed only with his know-how and survival skills. What he encounters leaves him questioning how prepared any lone man can be.

Amy Miller is all set to enjoy a well-deserved vacation day. She's a hard-working mother of two with a full-time career and rarely has a quiet moment to herself. The EMP throws a wrench in the works and leaves her unprepared for the chaos to follow. With the city falling down around her ears, she is pushed to the limit. Her suburban home is well-stocked with supplies, but she clings to the hope that order will be restored.

Faced with the darker side of humanity, will she overcome her inhibitions and do whatever it takes to protect her family?

Contains mature themes.

The story didn't go deep enough. It jumped parts which could have been developed more and soon enough 3 months was done and dusted without much substance. I'll give the other books a go because I like the characters and the homestead idea coming up.

Why does this keep labouring the point about how difficult it is to walk the long way home from a business trip after an emp? Surely there is a bicycle somewhere along the way? Aaargh

just ride a damn bike, walking isn't the only way

Whoever wrote this book has no idea. Characters are immune to psychological effects of killing. Some even develop supernatural powers of Navy Seal level stealth and murderyness in one night. Not mention overcoming debilitating injuries through sheer willpower alone. Other characters are pure evil. Bad, mean men who need to be stopped. Brought to justice. Killed.
It's American idealism at its finest. Yehaw.

The imagination
