Well written story of the collapse that follows a coordinated terrorist attack on America’s infrastructure. The tale follows a man trying to get home to his family after the attacks. We get a good glimpse into the preparations he’s made for his family. It alternates from his POV trying to get home (and all that he and those with him encounter) to his wife and kids waiting for him to make it back. Slight spoiler…the family back home has a few problems to deal with too. I can’t wait to read the next one, because the story continues. We’re left with two cliff-hangers.
Kevin Pierce does a splendid job narrating this. His pace, tone, characterizations are all spot on. I sometimes have a tendency for my mind to wander with some narrators, but Pierce’s presentation of the prose was so gripping I never lost interest. I would’ve listened to it straight through if I hadn’t had to work. As it was, I got through it in two days. Excellent audiobook all around.
