I got a free copy of this book in return for a review. I like post-apocalyptic stories. My two favorite being The Stand and Swan Song. Sometimes when I am driving or riding somewhere I will look at houses built up on hills and think about how they would work out in the time of event like this. I even look at trucks and large vehicles and rebuild them in my mind so they would be safe.

This story is about how a family survives an event that changes their world. He is just a physics teacher who happens to like taking his family on vacations that are for adrenaline junkies. This year his wife has talked him into a relaxing vacation on a little island. Their vacation was due to end the next day and they were packed for the trip home when the event takes place. From then on it becomes a story of survival with each family member coming into their own thru necessity. For some of us we never know how strong we can be until we have to be strong. It also emphasizes being prepared with weapons, training and survival skills. I know that will bum some people out but in this type of world people will most likely not be nice. I think after reading or listening to this book many people will start thinking about precautions for survival just in case.

A few of my family members live off the grid and we’ve talked about preparations. I totally enjoyed the book and I hope you will too
