The V-Pox pandemic is swiftly killing off all but a small percentage of survivors immune to its disfiguring and lethal effects. The survivors must dispose of their dead and seek protection from the threat of gangs forming in the cities. Other threats quickly become apparent: dwindling food supplies, power and water outages, unstaffed hospitals, inoperable gas stations. Where will the survivors go to find a safe haven in the immediate aftermath following the pandemic? As it turns out, several different people all have the same perfect place in mind…
As a lady who appreciates a good post-apocalyptic novel, I especially enjoyed Sheridan’s female characters who, instead of their male counterparts, tended to be the ones most knowledgeable about prepping and long-term survival in "No Direction Home." The married couple, Jonah and Colleen, were my favorite characters for their hilarious banter and Jonah’s very "male" behavior. Mike Sheridan is an expert storyteller who weaves reality with a good "what if?" post-apocalyptic scenario. His survival advice is well researched and real-world useful. I’m truly looking forward to hearing the next couple of books in this series.
Narrator Kevin Pierce’s wizened, husky voice perfectly suits this book’s tone and subject matter. While his foreign accents could use some polishing, I will never tire of hearing his performances. He’s an experienced narrator, and his skill helps me to bring the story alive inside my mind. As always, Kevin, well done!
