The Borrowed World

A Novel of Post-Apocalyptic Collapse, Volume 1

De: Franklin Horton

Narrado por: Kevin Pierce

In a night of devastating terror, ISIS operatives have unleashed a coordinated attack on America's infrastructure. Life as we know it in America grinds to a halt as the electrical grid collapses, communication networks are damaged, critical bridges and dams are destroyed, and major fuel refineries go up in massive fiery clouds. When the government responds by immediately halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament - trapped five hundred miles from home with a group of coworkers.

With thousands of trapped travelers and scarce law enforcement, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of civilized society no longer apply. As Jim puts his years of preparation and planning to the test, he is forced to ask himself if he has what it takes to make it home. Does he have the strength - the brutality - required to meet this new world toe-to-toe?

I just started

I just started this series, so far, as I am female, I am getting more and more offended at the authors prediction that women in general are stupid whining pansies. Even the main characters wife who is home with two pre adolescent kids, can't seem to do anything without referring to a manual her husband prepaid for her! I will keep posting as I go. I was planning on purchasing all three books, but if the females in this series don't start pulling their own weight, like they would in real life, this will be it for me.

ok I am a little more than half way through, I am enjoying this book. The wife of the main character at least has guts! and is not afraid to use force when needed. and the one girl who is with the small tribe making their way home, shows promise. I guess I have little faith in an author that depicts women as victims only. I am a woman and I have two daughters. we all know how to protect ourselves, and we take pride in that fact. I will finish this book, and probably move to the next in the series.

Great Book!

Oh man! I could not get away from this book! I was completely captivated! Just finished it and starting book 2 right away!

Prepper Party

This book is not fiction. It is a warning. I am a closet prepper and, after reading this book, I having a coming out party with my family and closest friends. Everyone will have to bring rope, walkie talkies, duct tape, night goggles, compasses, MRE's, water, maps, police surplus items and all kinds of prepper accouterments to stuff into backpacks, which they will also have to bring. The narrative was tight, concise, nicely stacked with character development, thumping with action, and thrumming with realism. Narrator Kevin Pierce read as if the story was a telling of his very own life. The entire production was, in a word, excellent. I will definitely all installments in this intense series.

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. Thank you Audiobook Boom.

Actually a very realistic scenario.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and very much looking forward to the next one. Narration by Kevin Pierce is great as always.

A Must Read!

Perhaps the most realistic depiction of a SHTF scenario to date. I put myself in the characters shoes as I frequently travel for work and this book has made me think more carefully about "preparations" I may not have thought about in the past. This book actually made me look forward to spending time in my car commuting so I could listen to it! Now on to Part 2!
