This has to be one of the most realistic series in which the U.S. could potentially happen to it! And how all of the characters are portrayed could very well be accurate as more and more individuals and groups join together for SHTF type of situation. This book is written in a manner in which to present as accurate of an apocalypse type of situation without having actually witnessed the actual real life situation. You can tell that the author has not only put in a lot of work researching how potential preppers would have prepared for various situations, which makes this audio series so much better!
If you enjoy realistic type of SHTF type of stories, then this series is definitely for you! The narrativor does a fantastic job both voicing the various characters but also using the appropriate tones as situations dictate in which to bring not only the characters alive but also changing the tone of the story as various situations occur. I would also like to point out that the author had when writing this book, had even thought of how different government agencies would act along believable situations in which the villain of the story line came to be. I do not want to give any part of the book spoilers while typing my review. But as I was saying, how the villain indeed come to pass, was not something I thought about beforehand! But after listening to this series, I can see something like this happening in real life! Which has given me pause to think, along with worrying if a situation such as the events from this series actually happened, just how screwed up the survivors would end up having to deal with! I mean, to have something like that hanging over survivors, PLUS all of the other hardships like marauders, food shortages, the need for ammunition for hunting food and having to make every single round count as people may not actually have very many rounds of ammo, learning how to bushcraft, grow and locate food sources, drinkable water and let’s not even get started with how a single cut from a piece of metal which has been exposed to the elements for any length of time could end up being fatal!
Any apocalyptic situation, of could and would lead to countless numbers of deaths for something in which no one would even consider as an issue in the current world we live in.
I hope you enjoy this series as much as did!
