Holding Their Own IV: The Ascent

By: Joe Nobody

Narrated by: Brandon McKernan

The president is dead and the military divided, two powerful armies aligned to reignite a bloody civil war. Millions struggle and starve, waiting for the government to reform and initiate a recovery. Bishop and Terri have a simple plan - they want to retreat to an isolated strip of West Texas desert and prepare for the expansion of their family. It's not meant to be. The vacuum of leadership ignites an internal struggle that pulls the couple into the middle of a fast-paced, dangerous adventure as powerful, desperate men fight to control what's left of the United States. Book four of Joe Nobody's popular series, Holding Their Own, takes the listener on an adventure through a world trying to recover and rebuild after a complete collapse of society. The post-apocalyptic landscape is dangerous, unpredictable and often requires creative solutions just to survive. Join Bishop, Terri, and their friends as The Ascent begins.

What did you love best about Holding Their Own IV: The Ascent?

The unity of Bishop and Terri as they make the best of hard times in a country turned upside down. Bishop has strong beliefs about justice and is a character of high moral fiber.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Holding Their Own IV: The Ascent?

There isn't JUST one. Too many to choose from.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator sounds like he is reading Cinderella to five year old children. He robs the excitement and tension from this story. Bishop is an operator in a violent world, but this narrator has effectively removed all masculinity from the hero of this series.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book created sadness that it was over.

narrator was a little princess.

Men who are supposed to be tough and gruff are portrayed as panty waste weenies by the narrator

great book

wish they would pick a narrator and stick with it. so far the worst narrator of any audible book I've listened to

Threats

i threatened Joe some years back when this book ended. In a joking manner of course. What an awesome dude joe is. fell off of the series waitng. now i see its up to 14 or 15. The book is like crack. my lady is addicted now. keep going Joe. we will always buy your books brother!

Love the story line hate the direction and performance!!!

The continuation of the story works well but unfortunately the direction just doesn't work very well. The accusation direction just doesn't make any sense what so ever.. Maybe it's the press poor performance by the narrator I don't know but he sounds like he's narrating a user manual for an un motorized lawn mower... Unfortunately you either listen to it or read it to follow the story all the way through. I've listens to the entire series a couple times and it does get better unfortunately or does start to drag on later books and some of the books are completely un believable but yet just believable enough to be plausible.
