What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The main character knew seconds after the power went out that it was an EMP, never checked to see if cellular phones were down, generators failed to start, etc… He just knew. I would prefer the story unfold a little more realistically. Trucks with guns mounted in the bed moments after the power went out? Where did those trucks come from so quickly? Not in our US inventory that I am aware. Police cars won’t work after an EMP, way too many electronics. Sorry Ryan, I wish you slowed down with the story a little. Don’t rush into it. Let it develope. There is so much potential with this story.
