Resumen del Editor

Moments before the world ends, two strangers pass each other on the San Diego boardwalk. Simon is taking a walk with his young daughter, Esther. Judith is jogging to relax before her first big job interview. When a cloud of ash descends without warning, swallowing the city behind them, Simon and Judith escape onto a nearby cruise ship and head for open water. The Yellowstone super eruption has begun, and the luxury vessel is their only hope of survival.

Cut off from all communication, the survivors begin a desperate search for a safe haven. Simon and Judith struggle to keep the peace as tensions rise between the stranded passengers, the crew, and the volatile old captain. With resources running low and storms increasing in ferocity, they're about to encounter a threat more dangerous than the sea itself.

Find out how the Catalina's journey began in the action-packed prequel to the Seabound Chronicles. This full-length novel can be enjoyed on its own or after any book in the post-apocalyptic Seabound trilogy.

Good story

Interesting plot and set of characters. I will continue reading the series. I like post apocalyptic stories

Great prequel!

This is a great prequel to the Seabound Chronicles! I was sad to see that series end and was very happy to get this prequel. I loved hearing the back stories of all the characters and the catastrophic event of Yellowstone erupting. Burnt Sea gives me a much better understanding and appreciation of Judith's character. I'd definitely recommend listening to the prequel first since as I listened, I already knew who lived and died. It didn't make it any less enjoyable though. Glad to see Ray Greenley narrating again. He's done a great job throughout the series!

Different Take on TEOTWAWKI

Unique premise for the "End of the World as we Know It". Characters were interesting with no "superman" skills. I was engaged throughout the book. I am considering listening to the entire series!

What a great book! This book rotates around and end of the world scenario that could really happen. The cast of characters is diverse and work nicely within the storyline.

An important addition to the series

I'm really glad this prequel was added to the series. It adds depth and contrast of the characters that we have only understood to a point before this part of the puzzle came along.

Cruising Into The Apocalypse

Wow, what a great story! We've all seen documentaries on the Super Volcanoes and the dire consequences of such an explosion, so this was particularly scary in its realism. No WWIII, no zombies - just people battling Mother Nature (and sometimes each other) for survival. With food and fuel running low, eleven hundred people aboard a cruise ship will be put to the test. What fate awaits them? Listen and find out!

I wasn't familiar with this series before I listened but it didn't hamper my enjoyment one bit. I loved the story and the diverse characters. In similar circumstances, I can't even imagine their terror and don't know how I would have fared. Ray Greenley did a great job with the narration, giving life to the story and keeping me engaged throughout. Burnt Sea: A Seabound Prequel: Seabound Chronicles was a great listening experience and I would recommend it.

Great Prequel

Really enjoyed this book. Great prequel, a perfect start to the series and very entertaining. It pulled me in from the start and held my complete attention until the end.

If you haven't started the series yet, definitely start with this book. It adds so much to the storyline. Seabound starts 16 years after the apocalypse and I would have enjoyed that book so much more the first time if I had listened to this book first. One of my biggest complaints about Seabound was not having more backstory on the apocalypse and characters. This book answered all those questions and gives you a better understanding to each of the characters. As soon as I finished this book, I re-listened to Seabound and am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series..

I love all kinds of disaster/apocalypse stories and this one has a bit of a unique and creative twist in that the survivors are trapped on a cruise ship and can't find anywhere that will let them come ashore. The problems they face are similar and much different at the same time. Personally, I think I'd rather be stuck on land no matter what the disaster.

Good cast of interesting, diverse and well rounded characters. Both likable and unlikable.

Ray Greenly did a really good job with the narration. Nice voice that is easy to listen to for long periods of time. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. Good character voices. He gives each character a distinct voice and personality. He was able to bring the characters, their emotions and the story to life. Very enjoyable.

Burnt Sea

This was a great 'end of the world' book!I enjoyed it.Besides the natural disasters devastating the coastal areas and being turned away at every port,the people of the Catalina cruise ship endure.In just two weeks they form bonds and mourn friends.Ray Greenley was a fine narrator.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

Great book about survival from a cruise ship

Having just been stuck on a cruise ship due to Hurricane Harvey, this book was quite interesting to me. Granted, I had a vastly different experience and the things in the book are pretty far fetched. If you take this book for what it is, fiction, and just allow yourself to enjoy it, it is pretty good. The narrator did a good job of bringing the story to life. I'm definitely interested enough to go for the other books in the series, since this is apparently a prequel.

My God

This was the first story of the Seabound Chronicles that I read and I'm so very excited to be at the beginning of this series! I love the horror genre and am particularly interested in apocalyptic stories. This is the first one I've listened to (of very, very many) that takes place almost entirely at sea. The idea of banning together on an cruise ship to attempt to deal with an apocalyptic situation was very interesting to me. By the very nature of the plot, a certain group of people are forced together to try and survive. A new hierarchy will need to be formed, a new police force, a new medical team, a new system for living, a new... society will need to be established. I thought Jordan Rivet did an incredible job of packing this story with action and characters I was desperate to follow. Ray Greenley delivers a wonderful performance in narration. I would recommend this story to anyone at all who enjoys action content. This is a truly great one!
