Couldn’t make it through to the end of book one. The characters are poorly drawn, one dimensional cliches including an obvious self insert by the author. No apparent plot apart from the obvious: Muslim terrorists bring down North American via EMP and it’s up to our Joe Sixpack to save the day. The notes from grandma might have been an interesting plot device had grandma not been a half wit. Predictably the MC gets a harem of willing wimminfolk being as he’s sitting on the only pile of food and ammo left. Unfortunately he’s also dumb as a box of rocks, so they keep getting kidnapped and turned into sex slaves. The racism against Muslims was also way over the top.

Kevin Pierce is an incredibly popular narrator but I can’t work out why. He sounds like a 90 year old who forgot to put in his dentures. There was no effort to inject emotion or character into the narration, he made a bad book unbearable. I was hoping the second narrator would improve things, but she is barely used. I wish Audible would employ some variety with their narrators in this genre.

Not much more to say. Wish I could return the book.
