Rockfall

Tertiary Effects Series, Book 1

By: William Allen

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

From out of the clear blue sky, an unknown chunk of rock from the frozen void strikes the Earth with unimaginable force, gouging a wound into the very crust of the planet. Millions die in an instant, and millions more await the end as the looming catastrophe unfolds...

Thousands of miles away from the disaster, a call comes in the middle of the night. Families act, and react, and while panic spreads, the world keeps on spinning. Maybe a little slower, and perhaps with a teeny bit more of a tilt, but such things are a mere trifle to the existence of a planet. For the human inhabitants of this planet, though, the meteor's collision will have far-reaching effects as the impact creates ripples throughout their fragile existence.

Bryan Hardin just wanted to create a sanctuary in the country for his remaining family, a place to heal his wounded spirit as he struggles with survivor's guilt and approaching middle age. He's hardly the heroic type, but his family is going to need all of them to act like heroes if they are going to survive the spreading effects of the Rockfall.

The earthquakes are primary effects.

The tsunami are secondary effects.

Will anybody survive the Tertiary Effects?

this one caught me off guard.

being a girly girl that just retired from the military, this series appeals to me. I grew up in the country and have gone back to my roots. prepping is a way of life that's been around for generations down here in the deep south. canning food, drying fruit and salting fish... just never know when you'll get a hurricane or odd ice storm every five years or so in or around NOLA. just have a plan.

Actually thought out.

In a bad situation no one person can cover all the bases, no one family could. Brian's understanding of this and well thought out plans for the multitude of situations may not be enough.
I thourghly enjoyed this book.

This is not a novel…

This is a how-to and what-if scenario after a large asteroid strikes the Pacific Ocean near China.

How do you prepare? What do you do next? What happens when the climate quickly changes, news is blacked out and your neighbor possibly becomes your foe?

Listen carefully as the information can help you prepare for and cope after a disaster.

I teach disaster preparation and have recommended this book to my audiences.

High Hopes But No Delivery

The concept was solid but the execution was lacking. Way too much political bias snark about "liberal media" and 'golly gee if you disagree with protests you're called a racist." C'mon man just get your laundry out early and move on. Instead the author kept it up all the way through. The narrator was flat and difficult to listen to. Overall I was disappointed. Had it been free... not bad. To have spent money... let down.

Way better than expecting

This book is great for survivalist, prepper, homestead types as is backed with great ideas. Yet the info is provided quick enough that a fiction reader may still find it engaging. The storyline feels realistic compared to other apocalypse books, especially the zombie types. Looking forward to the rest of the series to see if the above holds true throughout.

Boring

Stop! Too much detail. No delivery . I wasn’t entertained at all. More like reading a to do list

Great Read

love first person stories. Very plausible disaster story...kept my attention throughout. Immediately purchased next book in series.

Little slow

Different path to the apocalypse rather than a virus or EMP or Nuke. A slow slide into destruction of life as we know it, focused on the effects of a meteorite hit, and how it reeks havoc on the MC and his family and friends. Will get the next as this is a change of the ‘fast’ pace to oblivion.

Questioning

Saw some bad reviews but thought I would take a chance. Not sure what they disliked but I thought the book was good told story well left me looking for next in series didn’t know it was series but am glad
Take a chance sometimes!

A slow burn...

Minute by minute narration of every little act and thoughts of an single individual is almost mind numbing. The story seems to require such minuscule details to build the picture of the main character so we understand this man inside and out. Seems we need to know this person so thoroughly to grasp the apocalypse he faces through his eyes. Everything he does to prep, every gun he chooses, every reasoned decision to save the people he does.
What we really need is more about the Rock Fall. We need more backstory behind the discovery, if there were attempts to prevent the event. We need to know what
