Gateway to Chaos Boxed Set (Books 1-4): A Post Apocalyptic EMP Survival Series

By: T. L. Payne

Narrated by: Stacy Glemboski

Cars won’t start, and the phones aren’t working. Outside, a winter storm is raging.

Deep into the coldest, Midwest winter on record, an electromagnetic pulse has taken out the nation’s power grid, plunging St. Louis into frigid darkness.

Can ordinary people survive the apocalypse? Pre-med student Raine Caldwell is about to find out.

The government isn’t coming to rescue her. If Raine and her group are going to make it, they must save themselves.

When things go from bad to worse, they must act quickly to seek refuge from the cold and violent city. The group is tested far beyond anything they could imagine, as they begin to settle in, and survive life without modern conveniences.

After finding themselves in a community terrorized by ruthless and dangerous people, Raine and the others in her group must pull together to find justice, when one of their own is taken.

Can they pull the community together, or will it be torn further apart?

realistic

I enjoyed this series. I see the negative comments about "idiots" in an apocalypse. well, hate to break it to you but this his how 99% of people will most likely react. many won't be prepared, have former training skills or know much about survival. not everyone is an ex veteran with a bunker and a farm filled with food. many will die within the first few weeks, sadly. take this series as a warning and prepare, learn a new skill because you never know when SHTF..

Rain is very whiny

It’s an ok story, TL Payne has written much better books. Seems to be very disorganized.

Descriptive without being gory

Love the way the writer thinks and gets into the minds of the characters. Each story builds on the last.

Very slow

I slept off and on and never seemed to miss anything. If you want PG, mostly G, rated storytelling, this is for you. If you want fast paced intricate plot, this is not for you. Lead female character was dumb and dumber. Other characters stayed fairly true to their casting. Author should have made JJ the lead female and left Rain out of story.

Excellent

This was such a great book with a great story line. It kept me engaged the entire story. The narrator was very good.
