Minus America

Minus America Series, Book 1

De: E.E. Isherwood

Narrado por: Steve Marvel

What would the world be like without America?

The attack only takes a few minutes to sweep from coast to coast. When it ends, nearly everyone on mainland USA is gone.

Every policeman. Every housewife. Every trucker. Everyone. A continent free for the taking....

Ted MacInnis is a backup pilot on Air Force Two, over the Atlantic, when it happens. A warrior by nature, he can do little but listen as the radio signals from his homeland fade away and die.

However, one last call with his niece convinces him the attack left some behind. She might have survived, and he makes it his mission to find out. Unfortunately, his first priority is protecting his VIP passenger: Vice President Emily Williams. The woman who might already be the leader of America's survivors.

For some, the counterattack will be violently executed with firepower. For others, surviving in empty cities without adult supervision will be challenging enough. Ted, and warriors like him, will soon be part of the most desperate fight America has ever seen. This is DAY ONE.

Hooked Me Right Away...

I wasn't expecting much from this book thanks to the lower review average. In fact if it hadn't been included in Audible Plus catalog I never would have listened to it in the first place. But I'm glad it is, and I'm glad I did, because I really enjoyed it.

Instead of zombies or a bioengineered plague, an entire nation worth of people is simply vanished in a matter of minutes, leaving behind the clothes they were wearing and whatever they had in their hands at the time. There are a few people that were missed, however, and now they must figure out what happened, what - or who - caused it to happen, and how can they fight back. Overall, a fun and unique twist to the genre, one that was well written and easy to get in to.

Unique and entertaining

Great reading unusual story. Hard to imagine people just disappearing leaving only their clothes behind. Seems like if something can make human life just disappear that there wouldn’t be any animals or any organic life left. If it didn’t take animals where are all the left behind pets and stray soda and cats. Should be more than one pet (dog) left abandoned. Maybe explanation will come later in the series. All in all were entertaining.

…But the narrator!!

I so badly wanted to like this. This plot isn’t bad, but I can’t get past the extremely bad narration and goofy writing. The written dialogue is almost enough to set it down but the irritation narration takes it to a new level. Such a disappointment.

Attention grabbing

I can't wait to continue this series! Solid story line and interesting characters. The narrator has a great voice for this suspense filled story.

Not bad

It is an OK story, but I listen to it at 1.5 x the speed

OMG, WHAT!!!

What the bleep is going on? How can you possibly explain everyone just vanishing, except for clothing and jewelry. OMG, I am hooked, need answers. what's next?

definitely free book quality

It's kind of like a bad version of the Left Behind series with out the Christian witness.

If it's on the free section it's ok to kill some time waiting for your next credit

Good story, but…..

This is a very good start to a new series. I’m a bit bothered that it ends on a cliffhanger and we get zero detail as to what caused the anomaly! But also I’m excited to move on to book 2.

Mysterious

Pretty good story so far. Like some other books it drives me a little crazy going back forth between like five different groups of people, otherwise it’s a big mystery as to what is going on and who or exactly is the enemy. Looking forward to book two.

Interesting premise

Good story. The neighborhood watch series was much more interesting and compelling. The narrator for neighborhood watch was enjoyable. I did not care for this narrator.
