Ryan Schow delivers a gritty and brutally fresh take on the end of the world. While this is billed as a post-apocalyptic survival thriller, in this first volume the apocalypse is actually just getting underway. I don’t want to post any spoilers, but Age of Embers features an awesome cast of cast characters, all of them dealing with serious problems. While the apocalypse hasn’t yet happened, in this hard hitting, fast paced, at times flat out brutal story, the world is quickly sliding toward the abyss and the various characters are forced into making tough moral choices in order to survive. I absolutely loved this one from start to finish and the ending….dang I really wish the second book was available on audible now! Also always Kevin Pierce does a spectacular job with the narration. He is the voice of survival fiction!

I was given a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
