Quite some time ago I read book one in the Days of Want series and promised myself I would read the rest of the series. Well, recently I fulfilled part of that promise when I listened to Kevin Pierce narrating the audiobook for books 1-4 of the series. As far as EMP/dystopian Days of Want contains most of the common elements – EMP, survival etc. However, T.L. Payne humanizes this series with characters who feel like people you know and old friends you haven’t seen in a while. Furthermore, the Langston family children are very believable in their survival abilities since they have all been coached/trained from early ages to be survivors by their Marine/prepper father. I’ll be honest, I think the best way to experience this story/series is to listen to Mr. Pierce as he narrates books 1-4, in fact he does such an awesome job, I’ll be listening to him narrate books 5 & 6 very soon – oh yes once book 7 exists an audiobook I’ll listen to him one more time.
