It’s so frustrating and disappointing when a potentially great story ends in a cliffhanger, especially when doing so is so unnecessary.

The author asks, “How does a regular guy survive the apocalypse?” But Joe isn’t exactly a “regular guy” and he has help from his grandmother. The main characters are well-drawn and compelling. The story is realistic. However, I cannot in good conscience give a top rating to a story that ends in a cliffhanger.

As expected, Kevin Pierce delivers an outstanding performance with a little help from Sara Morsey, who is cast perfectly as the grandmother.
