Great survival book. James, the main character, had only minutes or hours in different situations to react to save himself and his family. He took immediate, decisive action to save his family from the tsunami, 3 would-be kidnappers, vicious meth squatters, and other situations.

Appreciated the characterization of Vincent, one of the bad guys. He was just a guy that had potential to make something of his life, but got in with a bad crowd and chose a loose woman who did not have his back. Not all bad guys are evil, murdering, raping scum, but just people, like Vincent, who make bad decisions and have bad association, which leads to their downfall.

Narrator AWESOME! Loved his bullet sound effects.

After the story ends, the author tells about his upcoming books about surviving different scenarios. Looking forward to them all except the zombie one, which I will skip.

I recommend this book and am planning to listen to it several more times.
