299 Days

The Preparation, Book 1

By: Glen Tate

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

Meet Grant Matson: lawyer, father, suburbanite husband who awakens to the fragility of modern society and embarks on a personal journey that introduces him to a world of self-reliance and liberation. 299 Days: The Preparation, the first audiobook in the 299 Days series, depicts the inner struggles Grant must face as he exists in a social system he recognizes as unsustainable and on the verge of collapse, but one in which he has built his life around. What begins as a return to his roots, self-sufficiency and independence, becomes a full blown move to prepare for what may come.

Engaging, insightful, and a bit suspenseful, follow Grant's transition from a self-perceived "sheeple" to a full-blown "prepper". Will his fears come true? Is he an extremist? What if nothing happens? What if something does?

Good series.

Any additional comments?

This is a good series. Overall good story line and kept me interested long enough to listen to the whole series.

Excellent book

I greatly liked this book. I am an avid fan of these types of stories and like the ones that are not totally end of the world for a change. A must try.

299 Days provides a real look at today's world.

This story is written in a guy's voice, be prepared for some language, a little heavy on gun tech talk.

Great background that is needed

What did you love best about 299 Days?

You need a bit patience and background if you are planning on absorbing a 10 part series. I almost followed the guidance from other reviewers that indicated that this book was slow to start, not worth the time. I certainly am glad I didn't heed the warning, this story and background is needed and well worth the time. Kevin Pierce does a great job narrating and giving the feeling the story needs.

What was one of the most memorable moments of 299 Days?

How pissed off I get at the weannys and their warped sense of entitlement! Truly impressed by the authors ability to articulate common thought processes that have been manipulated by years of entitlement and taking from others, "better that others". This only gets better with each book....

Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?

From the ones you hate, to the ones you learn to love; Kevin does a great job!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Spending more than we have has consequences. Are we in another bubble?

Essential

Everyone should read/listen to this book. Disasters happen all the time and being prepared will put most people's mind at ease, it's not a matter of if but when.
