Each book was like three books in one. We followed the lives of 3-4 groups. Fast paced; Engaging; suspenseful; many cliff hangers that were rapidly rectified, well developed characters. This series had my heart pounding. I wish it had 1-2 more books. It would have been even better if i had known anything about the navy, ships or even boats. I found myself looking up certain terminology. The series bought out the imagination and resourcefulness of man. It showed that men and women with common-sense and skills were valuable. I did Not like that most women were portrayed as prey and many men as rapists. But, maybe this is how it would be in real life. The series showed how hard it would b for the average family to survive in any disaster without community. The series showed how civilization fell apart in just two months. Unbelievable but now believeable. Most of the violence was necessary violence (self defense) but unrealistic in that usually the good guys prevailed. The Narrator was excellent. Gods hand showed miracles happening and the goodness of man. Well written. Overall, an excellent series!! I will read again.
