This is an excellent book! Not only was I impressed by the forward but the story and the characters grew on me as they developed.
It has two story main storylines that intertwine – one a group of college kids trying to get home after a CME and the small town where they are heading striving to survive the CME’s aftermath.
Amazingly as stated in the forward these were mostly just regular folks, NOT some super preppers with backpacks loaded with everything they would ever need – What a refreshing idea!
My favorite characters surprised me. I never thought I would like Ripley, the optimism that rolled over every common sensical thought drove me crazy at first but it also helped me see her normalcy bias more clearly. Marco my second choice, reminded me of a friend who also experienced the balkans and regaled me with his real life experiences.
Kevin Pierce and Becket Royce did a masterful job of narration! A thoroughly enjoyable experience!
It was such a wonderful tale, one of the best I have read! I can’t wait for the next book.
