EMP Aftermath Series, Book 1

By: John Winchester

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Jack Miller isn't too worried about the apocalypse. He has been prepping for a few years and has a basement stocked with the food and supplies his family needs to ride out a disaster. Today though, he is out of town on a business trip. An EMP strike delivered by a rogue nation leaves him stranded over a thousand miles away from his home. This is the last place he expected to be during a disaster. He sets out on an epic journey home armed only with his know-how and survival skills. What he encounters leaves him questioning how prepared any lone man can be.

Amy Miller is all set to enjoy a well-deserved vacation day. She's a hard-working mother of two with a full-time career and rarely has a quiet moment to herself. The EMP throws a wrench in the works and leaves her unprepared for the chaos to follow. With the city falling down around her ears, she is pushed to the limit. Her suburban home is well-stocked with supplies, but she clings to the hope that order will be restored.

Faced with the darker side of humanity, will she overcome her inhibitions and do whatever it takes to protect her family?

Contains mature themes.

it was okay

narrator character voices were not that great. many sounded the same.
book jumps ahead slot with not much explanation.

Great Read loved it.

A great Read with characters that were easy to assimalate with and keep you hanging on wanting to know what was next.

Great Story

I loved the story and all the details but I wasn't fond of the parts when the reader work read the female parts. Sounded really off.

Couldn’t get past 10 min of this guys voice

Seems like a good story but this narrator is horrible. I couldn’t take it anymore after 10 min

Great listen!

Great story showing the struggles of a father away on business and a mother stuck at home with their two young boys and their journey to come to grips with a shattered world.

Great journey!

This was a great story of a man’s determination to get to his family, and the friendship he made along the way. Can’t wait to hear more ‼️

Makes me think

I stumbled upon this book and I’m glad I did. This kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Makes you think though

Free

Good audio and sound quality. Store develops slowly but a lot of good prepping lessons are taught !

only worth a listen if it's free for you.

If you need to spend money or a credit to listen to this book skip it. But if it's free for you then it's a pretty good time filler. There isn't really anything out standing about the characters or the plot or the plot twist. But it's not bad. my biggest criticism is that you can listen to it for hours without any real story development or character development. You can totally zone out for huge loss of Time come back and nothing has changed. That being said it's a decently written book And nice to listen to while you do other things.


Since it's free I will listen to the other books in the series and update you on how I think things progress. But like I said before if you have to pay something for it even if it's a $1.99 it's probably not worth it. But maybe that will change in later books. Stay tuned.

Enjoyable story with some helpful tips for emergency preparedness!

Interesting story! I’ve read much in this genre and many can get cheesy quickly. This kept my interest till the end! Great narrator too!
