Dust: Before and After

The Dust Series, Book 1

By: S. E. Smith

Narrated by: Paul Heitsch

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author returns with an emotionally charged fantasy adventure story filled with heart-pounding action and suspense for listeners of all ages.

After fragments of a comet hit Earth, Dust wakes to discover the world as he knew it is gone. It isn't the only thing that has changed though; so has Dust. He now possesses powers that continue to grow, but they also come with a price.

A deadly encounter after Dust leaves his home leads to a new discovery - other survivors. Dust soon learns that another creature has risen from the ashes, one that is determined to possess the powers he now has. On a journey filled with danger, it will take the skills of not just Dust, but those of his friends, if they are to survive.

This time the race is not to the swift but to the deadliest in a world where a changed human boy and an odd assortment of friends must face their worst nightmares and accept that life on Earth will never be the same again.

Join Dust and his friends as they fight to overcome an evil force determined to create a new species unlike any the world has ever known.

story was very juvenile.

The story was very juvenile and became very repetitive. The story could have gone in so much more yet it stalled with the main character not progressing into the hero that was being alluded to. With all the narrative being predictable and not moving forward. The main character is not gaining much confidence after each fight. In a main fight he then is running away half way through. The author does not seem to grasp much about multiple participation in a fight. Author sets up a fight then only 2 of the 5 people are in the fight, Odd. Buy at your own risk this book series I will not be buying the next.

Fun book....

good read..... I do not normally write these. but said headliner was optional..... but it said I could not write a review without a headliner! the my review had to be 15 words or more..... reminds me why I do not write these and will not fall in to this trap again... very enjoyable book moving on to book 2 when done with this.

good listen

it was different, i liked it . not predictable good characters. I really liked it

not bad for an apocalypse book

felt unfinished like there is another book but its not on audible. writings leaves something to be desired but the way the book evolved was good.

It was a exciting adventure

I really like enjoy the whole from beginning to ending it was adventure action some romance and scary. I would recommend this book to friends and I listen again.
I don't know what else to write about other than I like the book
I hope book two is just as effective and book one in this series,
