Resumen del Editor

Jim Wyatt had always said that if everything fell apart, he didn’t want to just survive - he didn’t want to notice. When the world did crash, his family’s home of Stonemont became not only a refuge, but a place where it might be possible to start over again, and reclaim the American ideal. Among the many novels in the SHTF/TEOTWAWKI genre, The Reversion stands apart – and, perhaps, alone. It does not follow the survival learning curve of the unprepared or minimally-prepared, as so many excellent books have already done so well. Rather, it is the story of a man who was prepared, and of how his preparation and foresight provided not only a safe haven for him and his family, but a re-start point for those who come together to survive the collapse of the world around them. As such, it is an unbelievably positive book about an unbelievably negative circumstance, and carries within it the lessons of preparedness and survival that every person should strive to learn. Tightly woven into the story are threads of history, morality, politics, economics, philosophy and comparative justice – the kind America was founded on, the kind they had devolved to under the weight of an increasingly liberal and socialist society, and the kind that might re-establish a society reflective of America’s original ideals. As these threads are woven into the fabric of the larger story of survival, the realization emerges that a great catastrophe enabled the return of what makes us, as human beings, truly happy and fulfilled, and that, perhaps, only a great catastrophe could. The Reversion, written by an expert in survival and preparedness with an interesting government and non-government background, is destined to be an instant classic in the preparedness/survival genre. More than a good story, it is a manual and a resource for all who are interested in these fields, and deserves to be kept on your desk or chair-side table where it can be read, re-read and referred to often.

Story that makes you think.

Very good writing. AI voice work very easy to understand. Noticed a few errors in language such as Hell and Med (short for medium) but would welcome hearing more AI voice overs.

loved it.

the AI took me a minute to get used to. when it was calling an AR an "are," I thought that was funny.

Always have hope

I love this series if you’ve read the book one second after you will probably like this one as well. The narration is done by an AI voice but it’s really hard to tell, overall great book can’t wait to get into the rest of the series.

The book is amazing

I dislike the virtual voice the book brings hope and faith into the future of darkness

Fantastic!

I watched Steve's YouTube for years and knew by listening that he had great values. he really put those values in these books and it's extremely refreshing hearing a well-written book, with plenty of clever yet subtle humor, but most importantly, without the terrible language that most books of my favorite genre (apocalyptic) brings. thanks steve!

Outstanding storyline

I have longed to get into Steven C Smith’s book every since they were recommended by Pastor Joe Fox on his YouTube channel. Unfortunately I don’t have much free time to actually sit down and read a book and Mr. Smith’s books were not available in audio format. Much to my delight, I found several of Steven Smith’s books in the plus catalog on Audible recorded by AI. The voice is definitely not Kevin Pierce but it’s not offensive. It’s comical on occasion but it doesn’t pick up on the slang. Pastor Joe Fox was spot on with his recommendation. Reversion is awesome just as he said it was. I highly recommend Reversion and the sequel book Reversion. I enjoy Mr Smith’s content on Patreon, I find it interesting to see him in a new light. Again, highly recommended!

Thoughtful conjecture on TEOTWAKI.

It starts a little slow and gets captivating about 5 chapters in. Good narrative flow, and does not assume too much knowledge from the reader.

Great book

Great story and characters with real American values and the center holding together is GOD and His laws

What about the world

The ideology is sound, very libertarian in the tradition of Rand and Heinlein. But the scenario is defective: total isolation depicted here would not happen. There would be a war to remove the perpetrators of the EMP from power with extensive overseas and undersea power brought to bear. There would be international news by radio; at night AM radio carries far. Amateur radio operators know how to make primitive transmitters and receivers out of junk and use them to relay messages by Morris code. There would be help from outside. The Republic would stand and prevail, though we might have to learn Chinese language and cooking.

Good story, well worth an Audible credit.

The recording of the audio, if generated by computer, is a stunning piece of technology, way beyond the old Texas Instruments Speak and Spell. It is sure to be applied more widely to lower cost and make more works available, like the printing press did for books.

Value of family and justice.

like the story very much. Don't like the virtual voice at all. Lacks emotion and an AR rifle is not an "are".
