The Unraveling was an enjoyable PA survival story. There are a lot of characters and have to say I enjoyed most of them and their interactions with each other. The story begins during the early stages of a new Flu pandemic that is very deadly. At first nobody really knows what is going on and it is taken very seriously by most. It follows Cal and his family as he starts hearing some troubling news reports about the flu and other things and thinks he should get him and his family more prepared. He gets together with friends and other like minded people and they begin to make plans and prepare to help each other out in the event of a disaster. Of course the disaster still catches them somewhat unprepared and the surviving and fighting for their life begins.
I found the story pretty good and was entertained throughout but I did have some issues with it. For people that were very interested in being prepared they really dropped the ball on some things and in my mind were a bit slow to react to certain situations but I guess hindsight is 20/20. There may also be some right leaning opinions at play but it could just to fit with some of the characters and situations and is not that bad anyway.
The narration by Andrew Wehrlen was great, I have heard some other books by him and have always enjoyed everything he has done.
Overall I would recommend this story for anybody that likes PA survival stories and this was a solid start to the series and left off at a point where you really want to see where things are going.
