Tales of the Apocalypse Volume 1: A Duck & Cover Collection

By: Benjamin Wallace

Narrated by: Phil Thron

How to Host an Intervention

Long before he was a knight in the apocalypse, Tommy was preparing for the end of the world. His friends grew concerned for his well-being and planned to intervene. It wasn’t so much that he was preparing, it was what he was preparing for.

Gone to The Dogs

Fidget and Sasquatch were loyal companions to the end. Now that the end has arrived, they must say goodbye to the only home they’ve ever known. If they can figure out how to open the door.

Bunked Up

They took refuge in a homemade bomb shelter when the end of the world began. There they were safe from the bombs and the fallout. But they were never safe from each other.

Pack Hunters

Fidget and Sasquatch are on their own, a situation neither of them are really comfortable with. They decide to join a pack for safety, for food and for friends. Now all they have to do is find one.

Animal’s Calling

Before the world ended, Jackson drifted from job to job, never settling on anything that could be called a career path. But with the new world comes new opportunities. This is what he was born to do.

Last Band of The Apocalypse

Caught between county fair gigs during the apocalypse, the members of a cover band find themselves the last band left in the world. Getting gigs should be easy. Should be.

Prisoner’s Dilemma

The Librarian has seen his fair share of “wasteland justice.” Now he’s chained to the floor of a grocery store with a man he must face in court. In a battle to the death. Naturally.

Alpha Dog

Sergeant Satan was genetically enhanced to be the world’s best military scout. He was designed to be smarter, faster and more than a match for any dog this side of the apocalypse. Of course, his creators had never met Fidget.

The Trial of Harmeggedon

They’ve got a new name. They’ve got a new act. And they are ready to rock your face off. Now all the last band in the world needs is a gig.

Willie and Coy Ride Again

Willie and Coy aren’t the brightest. Or the best looking. Or very likeable. No one would ever accuse them of being hard workers. But the pair have found a way to make an honest living in the apocalypse. If they can get enough people to watch.

In a Person Pack

Tired of looking for a pack to join, Sasquatch and Fidget reminisce about the joys and delights of life in a people pack.

No Quarter

Deep in the swamp of New Orleans awaits a terror many refuse to believe exists. It’s a monster of myth and rumor so horrible that it could not possibly be real. On the trail of a kidnapped woman, The Librarian must seek out and confront this monster of myth.

Eve of The Apocalypse

Man is the true monster. Unless there is a man who is a monster that also makes monsters.

Great collection of stories!

This book was funny, and exciting. Phil Thron did a wonderful job as always. Mr. Wallace out did himself this time. My only complaint is that I went through the whole book in one day. However it did make my day so much better than listening to music during my driving. Thank you so much for the great stories.

A portal to a possible future.

Between the thrilling stories and the emotionally portrayed characters, this book transports you to a post-apocalyptic land where everyone has a story. I can't wait to start the next book!

More awesomeness from Wallace and Thron

The Duck and Cover series has got to be one of my favorites of all time. Right up there with Space Team.

This addition to the existing world is another great reason why that is. Phil Thron's narration gives such a great depth to Benjamin Wallace's stories. And these stories... I mean, what's not to love? Dogs, Willie and Coy, and crazy, mad scientists! I hope to see Satch and Fidget in the future... and Calvin.

Holy moly

I can't wait to get to the next book. This was so much fun to listen to.

A fun escape.

Good short stories to pass the time. Great author and solid narration.

For me, the dogs really steal the show in this one.

Perfect Reading for the Times We Live

There are times people need to laugh, fight, survive, and join groups of people who dress like pandas.
These "Tales", are some of those times.

OMG!OMG!OMG!

This was a great collection of stories. I recently finished the first 5 Duck & Cover books, and this was a nice bonus with some funny back stories. I think my favorite character may be Fidget! Calvin the cat was pretty funny, also. Willie and Coy are idiots, but likeable ones. Benjamin Wallace, you HAVE to bring Calvin back. PLEASE!

Couldn’t Stop Listening

Mr. Wallace has a hit series going and these short stories fill in some gaps in the five books that go before this volume (more like prequel explanations). I can only hipe someone eventually puts this saga on the silver screen.

Awesome Teaser!

This was a great collection of tails that started off a little slow but got super cool by half way and the end was really great! I can't wait to hear more tails about the amazing trio at the end, and more adventures of the great Calvin!

Funny. . .

This is probably how things will really be after the end. Great job with the story and narration.
