This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would like to listen to more of this series. This book is a separate portion of the overall story, so not having listened to the previous books was not a issue. Incidents that happened in the previous books (that separated him from Anna and the children) are eluded to but not fully explained and Anna does not make it into this story otherwise. That’s for the next book(s) apparently. This book also ends with a degree of conclusion and leads into the next installment.
The nanotechnology that was supposed to be a medical miracle started to kill off the earths population. An EMP was set off to try to stop this. Now, with winter in full force and having lost his home, Brad sets out in an attempt to find his companions. Alone, hungry and freezing he’s found by some soldiers and is taken to a community that is happy to have him join them. They agree to help Brad look for his missing companions in exchange for his contribution to their community. He has survival skills and was a veterinarian. Problem is, days pass and there seems to be no attempt to start looking. Then Brad starts to become aware of other things that are not as they initially seemed.
This is the seventh book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Andrew B Wehrlen ) and I would jump at the chance to listen to another. Not only do I enjoy his narration, but his style seems to perfectly suit the post apocalyptic genre.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.
