Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author Bobby Andrews comes a thrilling new tale of a post-apocalyptic world. ISIS has unleashed a weaponized version of the deadly Ebola virus, killing 97% of the world's population. Only the immune and those who hunkered down in remote locations remain.

Through the chaos strides a giant of a man known only as Stryker. He is a former Force Recon Marine, who has lost as much as anyone, but fights to preserve his honor and creed in the face of slave traders and rogue military elements who prey on the innocent. Together with his former drill instructor, Sarge, they struggle to eliminate the remaining evil elements in society, even as the nation's infrastructure crumbles and life becomes considerably more difficult. Together, they care for three young women who survived the plague and attempt to give them lives that are as normal as possible under the circumstances.

Follow along as they travel through a world gone mad, determined to defend the weak and innocent against long odds.

Great start to a new series

Any additional comments?

Even though this is a shorter book, it didn't feel like it. A lot of shorter books leave you feeling like something was skipped or left out. That is not the case here. There is a lot of story packed into this book. Suspenseful, interesting, sometimes humorous and enjoyable.

When you think about everything going on in the world today the premise of this book is scary.

The story starts 2 years after the die off or the apocalypse. There are flashbacks to Stryker's past when the plague first started showing what he went through. Stryker has been alone for the most part since that time, except for occasional visits to a trading post. When his former drill instructor arrives needing his help Stryker's world is changed again.

Stryker has great taste in music even if it's only in his head.

Just when the story was getting really good it ended. The dreaded cliffhanger. How soon will book 2 be out.

Kevin Pierce did a great job with the narration as usual. He has the perfect voice for the alpha male ex-military hard**s. Great for this type of story. He has one of those voices that you never get tired of listening to. Good character voices even the females. Clearly spoken. Smooth delivery. Nice even pace. All around great job.

Interesting, Simple, Straight forward, enjoyable..

Finally, the zombie apocalypse without the zombies, an end of the world story without the ravaging hordes. Now what to do?

A hardened Marine, his former drill sergeant, a few 20 something women facing a brave new world and an evil group without conscience, Ok there will be enough to keep everyone busy even without zombies

This is a good story with an interesting twist to the Apocalypse genre. This book is a solid character and story line builder. There are some good action moments and several humorous sections. Overall a good solid and entertaining story.

As always, Kevin Pierce does a wonderful performance and makes the story an easy, enjoyable listen.

Any additional comments?

New and different twist on everything gone bad and only getting worse. Well written and performed, only regret? I wish it was longer......

A great story with a great main character.

I really liked the idea of this book. The whole reason for most of the population dying off was very unique to me and I can't wait for the next book. Stryker is by far one of my favorite main characters. His courage and loyalty are vast, only trumped by his determination to protect those he loves. There was a good balance of survival and action which is very much needed in a book where most of the worlds people have died off.

The narrator of this book did an outstanding job. His voice goes very well with how I view Stryker. He really brought this story to life for me.

Great book

Great performance from the Narrator. Kevin always makes a story better. was worth the credit for sure.

Good Post-apocalyptic book

I really enjoyed this post-apocalyptic book without zombies and hint of military. Of course favorite character is Stryker. Well worth the listen and all listeners who like post-apocalyptic/prepper books. My only complaint was end abruptly and wished the 2nd book was available. Great narrator.

Very well done

Nice to listen to a book that actually has common sense thinking. Cannot wait for the second one

Great narration,story line predictable

While Stryker does have potentially a beginning promising plot line overall it becomes very predictable and antiseptic. Everything seems to be too handy, available and ready for Stryker's beck and call. Communication between the principals too simple, too easy to believe.
