De: Farrell Kingsley

Narrado por: Jim Donaldson

Robert Ralston is an average guy living in one of America's largest cities. He is the perfect definition of an American prepper. When three events in succession trigger a breakdown in society, Robert Ralston has to survive with his wife and two children.

Knowing the general rule that society totally collapses when there is no food or law and order, for three days he does his best to save his family. He makes many mistakes along the way. Although Robert is the perfect definition of a modern day prepper, he finds that much of what he learned about preparing to save himself and his family and to prepare for society's coming collapse wasn't enough!

This is a thriller that is both educational and suspenseful, with nonstop action. It will leave you wanting more, and it is written by one of the best authors of today.

impressive

the story was gripping from the beginning I enjoyed listening to how the Preppers stood out compared to the unprepared population. an easy book to listen to, always something this interesting happening to keep you drawn to the book.

c+

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

it was an ok story line. Kind of the typical story and I enjoyed some parts of it.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The most interesting was the beginning. The least was the over all story. It was like the author was kind of living out his secret self fantasy of SHTF situation where he envisions himself as the savior of mankind. I mean, he was elect both sheriff and mayor and saves lots of babies and little girls gets a stature dedicated to him in the end, kills all the bad guys himself like a modern day Rambo, his wife breaks down in tears as she apologizes for making fun of him being a prepper.......oh, and gets hit on by a hot women.

How could the performance have been better?

Oh yes, the voice was horrible most of he time. sounded more like character voices from a Tolkin novel.

Do you think Nine Meals to Anarchy: The EMP needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no it ended.

Too many repeated sentences

Many repeated sentences throughout the book. Also many factual errors regarding weapons that even a person with limited knowledge should have known about

loved it

great story, but I wish there was more detail in the preps department. narrator had pretty good voices.

Needs more research

The writer made several mistakes that I was willing to overlook, but the line about a new magazine with 30 clips in it made it sound like the author has no idea about semi auto weapons or he just didn't do his research.

Amazing sci-fi audibook!

What made the experience of listening to Nine Meals to Anarchy: The EMP the most enjoyable?

One of the best audiobooks in survival genre, I've read so far. Original and intriguing, it is about a very plausible natural disaster, that can happen in USA and have global apocalyptic effects. Beside a great story it offers some educational value, I learned some new things on how to survive if society ever breaks down (but I hope I won't be needed it :)).

I am not a native English speaker so narrator's voice is very important to me. Jim Donaldson's voice is crystal clear, easily understandable and I also like how he "portrays" each character differently.

I can totally see this audiobook as a great sci-fi movie, big recommendation!

Ehh

The narrators' voice is to deep and it's hard to understand him at times. As we he gets lost and repeats himself a few time. Overall the story is kinda weak and implausible

Fastasy

Okay story however, it just seemed like the writer was writing about himself and how he fantasize how everything would work in the end of the world scenario.

Poor production

Not sure if it is the narrator or was just poor recording, but it sounded poor compared to other Audible productions.

Story was decent, but the dialog between characters was very poor at times. Author needs to understand what 4 year olds are capable of saying. Same with 12 year olds. The dialog with the kids was terrible overall. Dialog among the adults wasn't much better. BUT the story was interesting and when there was just straight narration - it was well written and descriptive.

As for the narrator himself? He has no business attempting to alter his voice for women and children characters. It was awful. Awful.

Poor choice of narrator.

Sorry to be negative, but these issues REALLY distracted from what was otherwise an interesting story line.

Excellent book.

If your a prepper you will Love this book. It’s like 5 stories in one and well thought out.
