Lone Star Odyssey

First Steps

By: David Wilson

Narrated by: Steve Carlson

After over 20 years in the USMC and coming off a five-year tour as a contractor in Afghanistan, all Talon Clark wanted to do was spend time with his kids and wife on his ranch in Texas. Occasionally, taking a short-term contract job to pay the bills, Talon is marooned in Washington, DC, when the nation is attacked by a series of false flag operations against our infrastructure and is then devastated by a series of EMP attacks. With every major city burning and the nation’s electrical grid down, civil order has deteriorated to the point of no return, at least for the immediate future.

Separated by over 1,400 miles from his family, Talon sets out on foot to get home as fast as he can relying on his skills and experience. With only about a week’s worth of supplies in his get home bag, Talon must find supplies as quickly as he can and get out of the DC Metro area before the chaos overwhelms him. From his first steps, he finds out nothing is going to be easy or fast.

Very much enjoyed listening to this audiobook

Interesting lead character in Talon who's sharp, experienced, and funny. Liked the tire in to current issues and details; although sometimes too many specifics on the guns and ammo.

Amazing book

This book was very well written. It left no question unanswered. Great detail of every piece of equipment worn and full descriptions as well. Fantastic book

Great Book

This book was timely, well written and extremely well-thought-out. I absolutely love the book and appreciate the author's attention to detail.

Fascinating Reality

When it started, I was wondering about my purchase, but then I found myself unable to stop listening. Relating the story to today's headline brought me into my own ability to survive such an event. Deeply thought provoking,

Great start

This was a great start to a series, we as Americans can never fathom an attack on our soil, and this book painted a realistic picture of how confusion, uncertainty and chaos sets in.
