About this listen

It was a fungus spore that finally did it, knocking humans off the top of the food chain, with a lot of help from a pharma company too busy thinking about oversized profits rather than subpar outcomes. Most folks died, if not from the fungus, then from the riots and starvation that came when the grocery store shelves emptied and the spigots ran dry. Plenty of other folks lived on with the fungus growing in their bones, rooting in their brains, and turning them three-quarters crazy.

That’s when I moved underground and sealed the hatch shut on my backyard bunker. I was safe, with all the food, water, and entertainment I needed for five or six years. I had DVDs to watch, music to listen to, and books to read. Prepping had paid off for me.

At least it seemed so at first.

After a time, my radio stopped picking up signals from the world up top and for all I knew I was the last man alive on Earth. I’d planned for that possibility, yet never truly accepted things could turn out that way. The loneliness set in, gnawing at me and making me think crazy thoughts, including one that would change everything. Two years on, I opened the hatch and climbed out of my bunker.

I had to see if anyone but me was left.

I picked this up from the included section. I’ve read some Bobby Adair and really enjoyed them. This one is a great listen and Ray Porter gets me right in there with him. Didn’t want it to end. Thanks for the first class entertainment.

A different take on the apocalypse

Quirky, funny and a fun story read by a perfect narrator. I really enjoyed it, but the ending was well, like its unfinished... Part 2?

What a great listen!

A lot of people won’t like Dusty. His mixture of melancholy and cynical observations is not to everyone’s taste but I think it represents the kind of person Dusty is. There’s a lot of language and a lot of references to his previous life. Spending so long in an underground bunker has made him lonely and just a bit like a tired cop that’s been on the job for too long. Just righ really for a post apocalyptic book that’s different from all the rest. There is an error though and smart people will certainly pick up on it. Three times during the text Amelia becomes Amanda. I imagine that, since this has been read from the kindle version of the book it’s a kindle fault rather than a narration one.

I really like Dusty

Dusty is a very typical American dad that's smug he turned out he was right to build his bunker. But two years alone and now he wants to see what he can reclaim back up top and see if there's any more survived.
the beginning was a bit annoying with the constant explaining on what words mean to the future bee folk. but hang in there he eventually stops that. would deffo like if there was another instalment.

very American and I enjoyed it.

Listened to this 6 times and loved it every time! Fantastic performance, hilarious plot, and amazing narration. It's a little bit all over the place to begin with, but once finished, the beginning just makes sense. If this became a movie, I would be first in line to watch it!! 10/10 would recommend! I listened to it whilst it was included in membership. However, knowing how great this really is I would happily buy it.

amazing!

I really enjoyed this book. It put a different swing on a zombie book. The only negative is that it just ended very quickly. I’m hoping there’s a second one.

Great book.

Great until the end

Great wee story! Really enjoyed following Dusty through this world. Really interesting take on the 'end of the world' plot and the way it's written in diary form made the world build up a bit more teasingly mysterious! Loved the wee interview at the end as well with the author and his wife/editor. Will looking out for more from the author! Thank you!

Fun Read
