Last Stand: Turning the Tide

By: William H. Weber

Narrated by: Kevin Stillwell

In spite of Oneida's heroic stand against the Chinese steamroller, foreign armies are poised along the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, preparing for the final assault and America's inevitable defeat. For John, turning back the tide will mean going deep behind enemy lines and organizing the very insurgency he fought so hard against in Iraq. But more than that, it'll mean coming to terms with the brutality of war and the realization that sometimes the deepest scars are the ones that can't be seen.

still entertaining

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

Yes, but it wouldnt be my first recommendation. I found this series after reading most other very popular EMP scenario stories.

What other book might you compare Last Stand: Turning the Tide to and why?

I would compare this series to the Devil Dog series. While each series is vastly different, they both use an EMP scenario as the primary plot and each book in their respective series has between 5 and 6 hours narration time - whatever that equates to for printed versions. Each book also contains a former military character as its primary character.

What about Kevin Stillwell’s performance did you like?

Consistent.

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

There were some touching moments in the series... moments that were very you could envision nearly every Hollywood movie portrayal of victory when Allied troops would celebrate.

Any additional comments?

This series was fairly interesting. While it was written with the "EMP" scenario in mind, it took a different route of a story that was a bit refreshing. The primary character seems to be a military history nut that greatly helps in with the tactical strategic angles in the story. The ending of this book is written to give a plausible conclusion to this particular story, but it could also be continued. Each of the books in this series are about half as long as most other book in the EMP genre, but it still covers good ground. This series is not my favorite series, probably not one that I will re-listen to, but it was still work the time, not disappointed nor overjoyed with the series either.

Hold on tight

If you could sum up Last Stand: Turning the Tide in three words, what would they be?

Good story and character development. Loved the action and hard work portrayed to get life back after brutal fighting.

Excellent source of critical information

The author does a great job of both entertaining and informing about this very real threat.
I understand that EMP data has been presented to numerous presidents nothing substantial has been done. We need to wake up before it’s too late

Awesome!

This is a great series that shows the aftereffects of an EMP, America coming under attack, & the incredible will & patriotism of true Americans, willing to fight for their country. God help us all if this ever became a reality. This series will make you appreciate America, your America, oh so much more.
