Note: This is part of a series. While these are completely new characters and this runs somewhat concurrently to others in the series – I’d definitely recommend at least reading book 1, Five Roads to Texas to understand the premise.

Oh my gosh! I think this is my favorite of the series so far. Which is interesting given how much I love military books and this one was just regular folks. Survivor Malcom meets up with Tessa and her two children, teen Naomi & toddler TJ. Already dealing with grief and loss individually, this alliance proved to be just as harrowing and emotional as the other stories.

Even simple trips to seemingly abandoned stores to stock up on supplies become fraught with dangers. After tragedy strikes the escape from Ohio, finding their way to Texas becomes even more urgent.

Safe. For now. I hope to hear more about these characters as the series goes on.

Narration:

Andrew B Wehrlen continues to be a great fit for the series. His voices and especially the emotions are wonderful
