About this listen
One moment, life is perfectly normal.
The next, a catastrophic EMP attack thrusts the entire United States back into the Stone Age.
Lights flicker out. Cars crash. Phones and laptops go dead. Planes plummet from the sky. Fires rage uncontrollably. In the ensuing chaos, frenzied mobs take to the streets, looting and pillaging. Millions perish in the horrific aftermath.
Amid the urban devastation, the forests of the Pacific Northwest appear to be a sanctuary. Brothers Randall and Thomas Parker, driven by a glimmer of hope, battle their way to the family’s secluded cabin, determined to reunite with their grandparents, parents, and cousins.
But the wilderness harbors its own deadly threats, proving their sanctuary is anything but safe.
Trapped in an unforgiving world without any external help, Randall, Thomas, and their family must rely on each other, pushing their skills and endurance to the limits. Dark forces lurk in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.
Yet, despite the overwhelming odds, the Parkers hold onto the one thing that keeps them alive and united: hope.
Descent Into Chaos paints a vivid picture of an EMP-induced apocalypse, seen through the eyes of an ordinary family struggling to stay alive in a world gone mad.
With compelling characters, relentless action, and heart-pounding suspense, this novel is a must-read for fans of post-apocalyptic and EMP fiction.
Buckle up for a thrilling ride as the Parker family fights to survive in a world turned upside down.

Story5 out of 5 stars 165,436
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,685
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Pulpy fanfiction read by a robot.
The characters are extremely shallow, inconsistently competent, and many are damn near interchangeable. The story is fast paced, but runs in circles and never really goes anywhere interesting. The AI narrator tries and fails to infect accurate inflection, which serves to highlight the weak dialogue. Still, it was at least filled with enough action to pass the 9 hours quickly, and the author may improve with more practice. Below average for the genre of Prepper fanfic, but passable enough.
