Chaos Rising

An Edge of Collapse Prequel

By: Kyla Stone

Narrated by: Stacey Glemboski

In a heartbeat, everything grinds to a halt. On Christmas Eve, the lights go out. Vehicles stop working. Communications break down. Reclusive former soldier Liam Coleman doesn't want to be anywhere near bustling downtown Chicago the day before Christmas. But his twin brother and his pregnant sister-in-law need him.

But mere minutes after leaving O'Hare, their car crashes, along with hundreds of other vehicles. When Liam's phone stops working, he begins to suspect something more sinister than a local power outage. But before he can react, the first plane falls from the sky.

When a super EMP takes down the nation's power grid, Liam knows it's time to bug out. He's prepared, but he never expected to be caught in the middle of Chicago as chaos erupts. With society collapsing before his very eyes, Liam will have to risk more than he ever thought possible to protect the ones he loves if it's not already too late.

Chaos Rising is a riveting post-apocalyptic EMP survival thriller set in the Edge of Collapse universe, a brand new series from best-selling author Kyla Stone. Perfect for fans of Jack Hunt, T.L. Payne, and Ryan Schow.

Great story and narration

This author and narrator are new to me, and I am glad I found them. I'm no good at writing reviews so I'll just say I'm already into the next book and loving it.

Adrenalin all the way through

Captured me from the start, absolutely love Liam. Heard it in one go during a road trip. It is raw and realistic and a story that keeps running through your mind long after you have finished it.

Intense Start to a Post-EMP Series

'Chaos Rising' starts this series roaring out of the gate with intense emotional impact along with the suspense and action expected in a post-apocalyptic story. Interspersed with the post-EMP action are hints to the personal struggles that main character, Liam, will be facing as the story progresses. Liam considers himself to be an outsider and loner, but I'm sure he will soon realize that this new reality cannot be faced alone.

Stacy Glemboski has brilliantly narrated this first installment of the 'Edge of Collapse' series. I found myself getting emotional (read: crying) multiple times with her interpretation of Kyla Stone's perfectly written beginning. The combination of these two wonderful artists has put the rest of the series on my must-listen list.

I received a free review copy of this audiobook, at my request. This is my voluntary, unbiased opinion.

Highly Recommended.

gave clarity about liam

enjoyed reading the story of how Liam became such an isolated person. put his background more on perspective.

very good book

I wasn't expecting much from this book,but when I started it I couldn't stop it. tom Clancy couldn't have done better himself.

Fantastic and heart tugging intro

I suppose a lot of people start with book 1 in a series rather that 0.5 but I started with this one. It's a fantastic intro to a series I now look forward to reading. This prequel tugs at your heart and get's you emotionally invested in the character of Liam, who will be in book 1 according to the description, so I'm keen to see what happens with him in the first full instalment. The narrator is easy to listen to and doesn't jar you from the story itself, she's pleasant to hear and the story flows really well. I'm really happy with this listen.

one heck of a story

this book called my attention for the very start and held it throughout the story. it was well written and I think everyone should read this book

It’s cold in Michigan

The storytelling of this tale is captivating. You can step inside the characters mind and feel their pain and emotion. The narration enhances the words of Kyla’s characters. At times I have to stop to hold back the anger or sorrow that is portrayed in the story. I wish I could write as eloquently as Kyla does. I am ready for the next book number five and the books afterwards.

A Breathtaking Experience

Kyla Stone once again leads us into the rarely mentioned, cobwebbed corners of human frailty, despair, and hope. Stone writes in a voice anyone can relate to. She expertly navigates a world brought to it's knees with the type of literary care and expertise of an author twice her age. I ALWAYS look forward to seeing the names Kyla Stone and Stacey Glemboski on an audiobook. The combination ensures that I'm in for a thrilling "Audio Treat!"

I fell in love with Stacey Glemboski's voice the moment I first heard her speak. Of course, it was a Kyla Stone audiobook I "took a chance on" a few years ago. It was the first of Stone's books I'd ever heard, and I was hooked from that very moment. Glemboski's love of a great story is clearly evident in the way she brings the characters so powerfully to life.

If you are looking for thrilling adventures, and maybe an escape from your troubles and woes, then you will not be disappointed with the worlds Stone has created. So, strap yourself in and prepare for a wild ride the moment you press play.

Finally one I love!!

Absolutely love this. Everything perfect. Narrator, storyline...exactly what I’ve been looking for. Nothing has really drawn my interest in the last several months until this!
