A Novel of the Coming Collapse (Coming Collapse, Book 2)

De: James Wesley Rawles

Narrado por: Dick Hill

America is in the thrall of a full-scale socioeconomic breakdown. The stock market plummets, hyperinflation destroys the value of the dollar, and the population, unprepared for hardship, panics. Practically overnight, the high-technology infrastructure and chains of supply collapse, and wholesale rioting and looting grip every city. Law enforcement, transportation, electricity, fuel, and medical supplies are all in the past now, as the country staggers beneath its own weight. Lawless bands of killers roam the countryside, leaving devastation in their wake and now that the government is gone, the Constitution is at stake. Who will carry on?

In this chaotic and dangerous environment, a few families and individuals, bound together by their faith, skills, and foresight, must struggle not only to survive day by day but defend themselves against a new and vicious predator - their fellow man.

Survivors is a shockingly realistic and lightening fast thriller about the coming implosion of America as we know it. Renowned survivalist expert James Wesley, Rawles has packed this story with the cold hard facts about how to stay alive in the face of mass riots, starvation, and anarchy. His expertise lends unforgettable, authentic detail to this season's most chilling novel. Listeners will not only be entralled, they will learn invaluable lessons on how to survive the coming collapse.

Fantastic story, hit another one out of the park

What made the experience of listening to Survivors the most enjoyable?

The plot line is fantastic, the story always keeps moving, and it is narrated very well.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The suspense is great the detail is realistic and there are always a few turns you don't see coming.

Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Can't beat Dick Hill, his voice is the perfect narration for JWR's story

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book is a special treat and I would listen to it again all in one sitting. I usually listen on my way to and from work. Must admit I may have taken a little longer lunch last week while listening to it.

Any additional comments?

pay attention to the details, this is the whole point of the book.

something to think about

the fact that it was somehting that could happen someday if inflation continues and the economy keeps going the way it is.

Who was your favorite character and why?

andy because he never quit trying.

Which scene was your favorite?

hard to choose

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

no

I'm not a christian, but I wish I was.

There are a lot of christian undertones in the novel, but you don't doubt the good men and women of faith. If you're a liberal, you'll probably hate it. If your a republican, you might not like it as you should. Federalists and libertarians, will love the book.

I'm "reading" the novels backward in order, and it doesn't seem to matter. It's a great series so far, can't wait to read the first book.

You're going to love this series!!

several books written about a huge worldwide collapse but all books run almost simultaneously. New characters, previous characters weaving in and out makes the story feel new and familiar at the same time!

Could have been Better

Would you listen to Survivors again? Why?

Unlike Patriots that I listen to three times, I am probably good listening to Survivors once. It is slow getting started and bounces back and forth between characters way too much. I did like the additional background information on some of the characters from the Patriots book, but some just seem to be boring background filler. Still entertaining enough for a credit.

Survivors.... Required reading for the future...

Would you listen to Survivors again? Why?

Yes, good story, if you are in to the prepper thing.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, wish I had that kind of time though.....

What happened?

What would have made Survivors better?

I had two main problems with this book.
First, the book is misrepresented as a fictional account of survival in the aftermath of a civilization ending economic crisis. Instead, it should be billed as a book about how Christian people who pray often have a better chance of survival when the stuff hits the fan.

Second, the author did not seem to finish the book. One gets the impression that various story lines were thrown together from scraps the author had on his computer with no hint or resolution or explanation at the end.
