About this listen

When society ceases to exist, who can you trust?

After the collapse of the nation's power grid, America is under martial law - and safety is an illusion. As violence erupts around him, Morgan Carter faces one of his most difficult decisions yet: whether to stay and defend his home, or move to a more isolated area, away from the prying eyes of the government. He and his family are hesitant to leave their beloved Lake County, but with increasingly suspicious activities happening in a nearby refugee camp, all signs point towards defecting. Morgan and his friends aren't going to leave without a fight, though - and they'll do anything to protect their freedoms.

From the author of the hit survivalist novels Going Home and Surviving Home, Escaping Home describes the struggle to live in a world with no rules, and how, sometimes, the strength of family is the only thing that can pull you through.

Not sure where this is going but I’m hooked. Plenty of side issues to consider which it does with ease. Onwards to next book. Find out exactly how the characters fair in this unforgiving time.

Continued with interest and intrigue

I have just finished book 5 in the series and thought I would write a review on the whole series (so far) as I loved all of them the same.

So if you've read the synopsis you'll now that Morgan was on his way home to his wife and 3 kids when.... the power goes out, an EMP maybe? and plunges the world back into the stone age. Now you might be thinking that there is a couple of other books on the same line and a successful TV show.

However what makes this different?
Morgans story and the situations that he finds himself in with people that are trying to survive. I continually thought "yeah, that is what would happen, thats how people would act in that situation" it is brilliantly thought through. The characters are fantastic as well all with very different backstories which really makes you care about what happens to them.

But the stand out thing is the narration by Duke Fontaine it is fantastic it probably the best I've heard, he puts constant voices on all the characters so you know every time who is talking but is still clear to understand.

The only thing I would have liked is an explanation to why Morgan prepared the way he did, it sort of does near the end of the series, its only a small thing but it bug me a little.

If you like excellent narration, brilliant characters and a believable story (with a little hollywood drama chucked in) give this a go.

Review of the whole series so far books 1-5

Sticks to the same direction as the first two. Some progression but a little slow; good to see the 'Mark' situation being put to bed but a little underwhelming.

Look forward to a few stories meeting in the next installment.

As good as the first two.

This is my 4th listen and I am still loving it. As I said about other books in this series, I won't go so far as to call it a "classic" but I will confess that I keep coming back. The writing is compelling and the delivery is outstanding. I only wish there were more books in this particular series.
Thanks for producing it.

I have run out of superlatives
