Good Fences

A Scorched Earth Novel

De: Boyd Craven III

Narrado por: Kevin Pierce

Brian Cartwright just wants to work and run his farm in peace. The police keep showing up as the HOA from the new neighborhood keeps filing nuisance complaints against him and his farm. What makes matters worse, his former boss George and his son built a big house overlooking the farm. His prepping lifestyle and following the news online is his only other hobby other than church activities.

George's son is the teenager responsible for causing the accident that killed Brian's wife. Every interaction with the power hungry father drives him insane. To make matters worse, George's son has been trespassing and gets injured on Brian's property causing him to build bigger and taller fences.

The neighbors that once shunned Brian Cartwright now need him like never before. America has been attacked with an EMP and they find themselves requiring the help of the widowed farmer the same time he realizes he needs them as well.

When things get dicey, can they mend the wall, or do good fences make good neighbors?

SCI-FI?

This is fiction not sci-fi.Not a bad story just not sci-fi.Happy ending . Kind of.

Fantastic

Boyd Craven III is definitely one of my favorite post apocalypse authors. Kevin Pierce is definitely the best narrator (aside from only duke Fontaine). This book is by far my favorite of Craven’s. I just wish it was a series. If you’re looking for a great read.... or listen, this is it. Also check out his many others. You won’t be disappointed. And no, I was not given this for free to do a review. I genuinely love this author and think his works are great. I’m certain you will too.

Wow! Where did this story come from?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is amazingly well written with superb narration. The story is introduced nicely with great character development and plot.

I loved how the author really made the characters feel like real people with real issues and problems in dealing with a difficult situation.

What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His narration style makes me feel like I am in the background just listening to the characters talk to each other. He is an amazing narrator.

Absolutely! This story was hard to pause as it was so easy to get involved and feel like I was there.

This is a very good book and I hope there will be more like it in the future.
