When an EMP collapses society…rabid packs of ex-convicts and gangs ravage an off-grid Texas……turning Houston into hunting grounds.

Double-crossed and incarcerated for armed robbery, Alex longs for a second chance. And revenge.

Then the EMP downs the Texas grid, providing Alex an opportunity.

Despite the buildings aflame, bullets flying, and absolute barbaric conditions, Alex seizes the chance to track down the traitor who crossed him and find Wendy—his daughter.

Will Wendy ever rest safe in his arms again?

But Alex’s adversary—a mob boss—demands settled accounts…or Alex’s debt will be paid in blood.

Armed with unbreakable grit, firearms, and two fists full of retribution, Alex—along with his new ally and their dog, Ranger—will plow through anyone who impedes their path to reunite with Wendy.

Strong-willed, Wendy wields her resourcefulness like a weapon amidst an apocalyptic Texas wasteland.

A real barn burner!

Could not wait to get to next chapter! This series will keep you on the edge of your seat!

city fight

The over all arch of the he story was nice and ending was on point thanks for a good read

Loved

I loved this book and series by Derek Shupert. I also loved all the characters. I can’t wait for the next book by this author. I would recommend this book and all of this Derek’s books. I listened to this book on audiobook.

Juvenile

This book has a great storyline. The writing is pretty good ….better than some, not as good as others. It’s interesting enough that I listened to the whole thing. However, throughout the reading, all I could think of is that the narrator made all the women sound like “Leave it to Beaver‘s” mother. So juvenile. So sing-song and unrealistic. His voice is good, but he makes the characters sound silly. I was thinking it should be a teenage book not an adult book. If Jay Snyder had narrated these books, it would have been much better.

Eh, it’s ok

All in all I guess it’s ok. There are some fun parts and some boring parts, and some parts that make you down right angry. There are no sexual assaults but it really teeters on the edge. Multiple kidnappings and skin crawling parts that put you on edge. There are some really good action parts and some really slow parts. I think the author’s favorite word is footfalls as I think he says it 872 times in the entire series lol

Okay, but a bit tiresome

I like the characters, but the author is one those writers who constantly tortures their characters, repeatedly having them barely escape from violent encounters while killing off most of the folks who help them. The teenage heroine escapes from captivity at the hands of demented brothers at least four times only to keep getting caught.

Also, many of us wannabe preppers look to this genre for survival tips. This book has none of that, only providing negative examples, like pointing a gun as a threat without wanting to hurt someone, or advice like the old saw that racking the slide on a shotgun is as effective as using it.

Verdure Verdure Verdure

I don't believe I'd ever heard the term Verdure used before. now that I've heard it in this book about 3,000 times, to describe everything from forest, to pushes, to grass, and who knows what else, I would suggest to the author to cut back on its usage by about 95%, and double check proper usage of the term. that rant out of the way, I find the story to be very tedious. I get extremely frustrated with characters I cannot relate to, the individuals who are supposed to be somewhat the heroes of the story, and everyone except for the bad guys are constantly making the most boneheaded decisions, it's hard to keep rooting for them. at a certain point you just hope they get killed so you don't have to put up with their dumbass Behavior anymore.

Good series, but….

How many times per chapter is seams gnashing teeth, sable German shepherd, or head on a swivel…. But really good book.other than that

Author’s Favorite Word?

Footfalls! 🤨 The story might be worthy of a higher rating if this term wasn't used so often.

Could have been 5 stars but!

Good story but I was annoyed with the constant, failed attempts of Wendy to escape her captors. Also Eva's incessant chatter can be annoying.
