Not only is this a fun and fast read/listen, it is useful. Will be a stocking stuffer for my six young adults. And I will be getting his other titles.

Jack Olsen is consistent in his writing, always introducing the character and the family, friends, surroundings and life events before we know what has been done. He does this with detail and empathy, drawing the reader in. Kevin Pierce, who is one of the greatest narrators, never disappoints, reading the story with regard and respect..
Book 2 is a continuation of the gloom and doom of the worst case scenario of a US power grid terror attack. The resulting scenes are not for the weak of heart but not at all unrealistic sadly. No rays of sunshine only some lessons to be learned in preparedness. Reader is not overly engaging..
What did you love best about No Direction Home? The characters were brought to life. What was one of the most memorable moments of No Direction Home? When the group split in two. How it went from unified to split in a short time. Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before?..
Another Great Olsen Title
Review from Cold Kill →
The most interesting thing about true crime is the abnormal psychology of the criminal (to me at least). What I like about Jack Olsen is that he puts the psychopath front and center. I’ve read three of his books now and they’re all quite satisfying. The criminals are interesting. This book develops a little differently..
a must read
Review from Persecution →
Interesting book. Very much a departure from the usual apocalyptic fiction. The book is not event driven, but personality. The format is it follows characters based on chapters and displays their characters perceptions. This adds a great deal of depth. The story line is one of that of an adaption starting with a main character..
