Here we have a novel of survival and persistence. Survival after an EMP strikes the U.S., persistence of a 911 operator who receives a call for help from a girl right before the EMP. The determination of Jim Parker, the 911 operator, is a bit implausible to my thinking as who would doggedly continue on such a course with everything else going on at the time. Finn was quite the character and brought much fun and excitement to the story. Ava was a bit more conservative. This is a pretty good survival/suspense thriller if a bit wordy. I enjoyed the story as a whole and may look into the next volume. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.
