I have read over 150 post apocalyptic novels over the past 10 years and I have to say this I rate as #1. I rarely give a review but this 5 book series was special and I feel the need to say that Bobby Akhart did a magnificent job with each and every one of these books. Usually series become boring or lack the substance to maintain my interest. This series was different. I will now order more of his books to listen to and hope they are as good. The final 9 minute speech was magnificent and something everyone on earth should hear. I would also like to say that Kevin Pierce is the master story reader in the industry. I hope others will read my statement and begin to read these books.
