I found this book while browsing through Amazon late one night – as if I don’t already have enough books to read. I love Boyd Craven and obviously, if you’re a follower of my blog or my reviews, you know I’m a pretty big fan of Kevin Pierce’s narrations. I came across this novella and at 1.99 for the audiobook (at time of publishing) I had to pull the trigger. I also really liked the length of it. I wouldn’t want to pay more than 3 or 4 dollars for a shorter book like this, but the ability to start and finish a book in one sitting without ‘wasting’ the whole day really appeals to me.
The story itself was reminiscent of another book by Craven that I read with some little differences. I loved that the main character was a prepper by a different name. He considered himself part of the homesteading community. And while living this off-the-grid lifestyle, he would blog about his different projects so that others could learn with him.
In comes an EMP (or what they think might be an EMP) and when S is supposed to HTF he is more prepared than even he would realize. Oh, and there is a very cute love story thrown in the mix and it was honestly a nice and refreshing change of pace in the post-apocalyptic world.
My only complaint is that there aren’t more audiobooks available in this series. It seems like Craven and Pierce teamed up to do book one and then another book later. Now I want to read more and I’ll actually have to READ! haha.
Overall, a great novella that has an “ending” but I definitely want to continue the series. Kevin Pierce’s narration definitely made this already good book even better.
