I’m two books in and don’t think I can make it through. The male hero is (shockingly!) a former Navy SEAL and SWAT officer. Understandable device to give the character instant street cred, even if it is hackneyed as all get out. Then, at a pivotal moment, this super operator who operates operationally chooses to..
The narration is about the worst I have ever heard. The story is not much better. I had to quit listening early into the second book.
Mediocre story, stupid one-dimensional characters. I was actually hoping that one character WOULD die or at least spend many years behind bars … not a perpetrator, but a person of a moral compass so indifferent to the suffering of others as to make their career choice extremely questionable. There is nothing interesting about bad writing…
Review from The Dark Road Series Collection →
How could a devastating EMP/nuclear attack story be boring? Have the main characters thoroughly prepared to the extent they own a sporting goods store and have a pristinely refurbished classic 4×4.

This book felt very amateurish, both writing ,plot and narration. If you’d like a tightly written intelligent book this one would not be for you you
Review from Hammond’s Hardcases →
Too much Deus ex Machina. Unrealistic characters whose skill development more closely mirrored a Dungeons & Dragons game than the months of training that would realistically be required. Unnecessarily dramatic romantic scenes. The lieutenant consistently made stupid tactical decisions in spite of good information. The narrator’s pauses and breaks fell in unnatural positions giving the..

The storyline is good . I did return this book without finishing it . I found it too wordy , every detail ,every action and too much of what the characters say is explained . I don’t know how old this author is but the writing passes for a high school student .
