The Dark Road Series (5 Books)

Very good series. Very well written and the narration makes it very easy to listen to. (I’ve listened to close to a hundred post-apocalyptic books)

Pros: well written, good activity, fly fishing backstory is excellent.

Cons: I don’t accept that all of these gas stations are going to be left un-guarded and easy to access. Also the route from Pittsburgh to Maryland doesn’t have to go near DC (not sure what author was thinking) It’s a little bit of a Rambo-ish in that the dad is an Army Ranger. However it’s not all acts of superhuman strength like so many post-apocalyptic books that are written around a “Great, but modest, War hero”. And, I wouldn’t be sleeping in a tent where I couldn’t see people coming up on me. As far as that goes I wouldn’t be sleeping without everybody taking a watch shift.

But, I’ll follow the rest of the series.

Plus: Now I have the motivation to get my ’77 Chevy K20 back on the road.
