Publisher's Summary

A massive solar flare. A devastating global blackout. Amid the pandemonium, a ship loaded with fuel faces the ultimate threat: mutiny. 

The desperate captain will do anything to maintain order while he races to get his precious cargo to the safety of homeport, but time is running out. On land, in cities without power, violence rules the streets as society crumbles into chaos. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has its own dark scheme for the ship’s load. As events spiral out of control while the vessel steams toward home, a tsunami of danger and treachery threatens the captain and crew’s very survival. 

But the real journey is just beginning.... 

Perfect for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction. If you love A.G. Riddle, Hugh Howey, and Justin Cronin, this breakneck-paced adventure is for you.

Very entertaining.

I liked this book, the story was good. BUT there was too much jumping around. Even WORSE was the language - filthy and blasphemous. The story would have been just as good without trashy language. I know God and mothers would agree.

Excellent Story

Got this book to assist in another project I'm working on, decided to listen to it anyway and loved it. I give it a solid 5 out of 5 all the way down the line. The book is multidimensional, exciting, suspenseful, and believable. I'm looking forward to hearing the next one in the series.

Great book

This book is unique because it deals with a natural disaster, solar flares, rather than an act of war. I also enjoyed that the book followed different groups attempting to get home.

A decent story. Military-apocalypse fantasy.

This is a fine story. Unfortunately, for some reason every character has a southern accent and the narrator can’t pull of a southern accent.

Half of the book are scenes of characters making lists or plans. The antagonists are all super-villain rapists. I can respect moral decay in a post apocalyptic setting, but the author has no tact.

The book comes across as the post-apocalyptic fantasy of some military member.

Very good story

This is not my usual reading fare. I am more of a horror, mystery type. But when I read the description I figured I had to give it a try! I am so glad I did! Now I have another series to get wrapped into. This is something I can see happening. Scary!
