Kevin Pierce is my all time favorite apocalyptic story narrator. As to the first 4 stories in this continuing series, wow!! Maddie gets off a plane to wait for the next heading back to college when the Apocalypse hits. She’d left her mom, Beth, a former nurse, in California caring for her dying grandmother. Maddie has been well trained for just such an event by her now deceased soldier dad, as had her mother and brother. But as people tend to do, they’d been doubtful such a thing could ever happen. Maddie and her mom Beth had been resentful of the training, enough so that Beth had married her soldier husband’s exact opposite and Maddie no longer carried her go-bag. Zack, her younger brother is a young teen, on a school field trip, but he’d taken all his dad’s training to heart. They all do some intense growing up, confronting death, danger, FEMA, rescuing and being rescued…all on the way to get back together at the cabin dad had prepared and reuniting with other soldiers he’d bravely served with that had decided to team up if/when SHTF and living in the aftermath. If you’ve read the genre, nothing I’ve said is a spoiler…if you haven’t, hopefully I’ve said enough to peak interest in a well written series loaded with great survival tips and plot twists. I’ll definitely be continuing with the series. It’s good stuff🤸🏿‍♀️😉worth the reading.
