About this listen

Lock the doors and board up the windows. The power grids are down, food is gone, communications are reduced to short-range transmission, and the only sound on the radio is a killer's heavy breathing.

After a catastrophic incident leaves the global fuel supply in dire straits, Eddie Slate, a smooth-talking car salesman at the top of his game, finds himself spiraling into an apocalyptic world where the only rule for survival is self-preservation. With the gas pumps spitting air, law enforcement failing, and the economy in the throes of collapse, life has suddenly turned into the red zone. Alone, frightened, and barricaded in the house, Eddie spends the empty hours on a hand radio searching for a friendly voice. Nobody ever answers, at least not until a mysterious drifter starts transmitting and takes a dark step into his life.

Set thirty days after the oil had fun out and the lights had gone out, Eddie Slate, shut safely into his house protected from the growing dangers outside, realised he was not alone. 'I'm coming for you.' So begins a cat and mouse dance between Eddie and the mystery caller, where others are also threatened and die. It is a post apocalyptic tale with a difference, perzonal, somewhat creepy and, in parts, chilling but too long to sustain the reader's interest through all of the flasbacks and internal rumination of the main character who is telling the tale in the first person.

Narrator, S.W.Salzman, gives a good performance as a very credible Eddie, and gives individual voice to the other characters as well as reading the text with understanding and full intonation. He certainly adds credence to the rather improbable story.
There are several enjoyable aspects to this book such as the exaggerated development of the individual personalities in an unexpected situation. The idea is interesting, giving an additional horror aspect to an already terrifying plot scenario. But it is too limited to sustain realistically, too much repitition.. Enjoyable but would improve with strong editing.
My thanks to the rights holder of Crude, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom..

I really enjoyed listening to this fast paced and action packed story, it had a believable and likable lead character and an awesomely bad villain. I virtually listed to this in one sitting with it being so addictive. I also must congratulate S. W. Salzman on his brilliant narration, he really brought the characters to life. I highly recommend this book.
I was given a free copy of this book to produce an objective and unbiased review.

This was an okay read.S.W.Salzman was a very good narrator. The oil is gone so life comes to a halt.People are either taken to camps or being picked off by a psychopath. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
