Final Impact: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller by Jack Hunt and narrated by Kevin Pierce takes place during the last 72 hours of life as we know it on planet Earth. The story starts with all the main characters being trapped in the Luxor in Las Vegas. A personal Nightmare as I stayed there one night on the 14th floor. I could completely visualize what the characters had to go through.
Mr. Hunt has crafted a diverse group of characters are Felicity (Escort,), Emir (Cab Driver), Dexter (Thief), Ben (Gambler), and Zeke (Featured Stage Magician). They are all more and less than they appear during this disaster, an earthquake caused by pieces of the first meteors hitting all around the world. They need to get out of Las Vegas and to Florida to escape earth with all the fat cats and the families from the District of Criminals who only found out in time because of Felicity’s father a private astronomer at a college studying NEO (Near Earth Objects)
The book really held my attention and I became invested in about half of the character and wanted the others half to be left behind or swallowed up in a crevasse or creased by rubble they were that annoying. I am not sure if that was the authors intent but the fact it had me thinking of ways that they would leave the group held my attention closely to the story so I would not miss when one of the pain in the neck people were removed from the storyline. The story had a smooth flow of just ordinary people surviving a horrible event.
The narration by Kevin Pierce was just awesome. When it comes to the Post Apocalyptic genre he is the go-to vocal talent. Mr. Pierce is able to emote the feelings of the characters in these horrific situations he has this perfect voice for the genre. He can quickly get you invested in the story and the characters. The audience is along for the journey with characters and most loving every minute of it. The production quality of this audiobook is also topnotch. I heard no problems with it all. I recommend giving this title a listen if you are a fan of Kevin Pierce, Survival Fiction, or Post Apocalyptic Fiction.
