About this listen
Could you push past your limits to survive the apocalypse?
After the deadliest virus known to man, law and order have collapsed. The surviving few are left to find their way among the ashes of civilization. Chaos reigns.
What if your preparations weren't enough?
Nick thought he was ready. He has a lodge in the mountains in New Mexico, packed full of supplies and ammo. He thought he could protect his family, but the virus took them anyway. Soon, he finds others that rely on him. With everything lost, can he find the strength in himself to go on?
Could you face your greatest fears?
Liz is trapped in Albuquerque. A dangerous battle rages around her, and she doesn't have long to live if she stays. The only way out is through the mountains, and there's only one man who can take her. But can she put her faith in a stranger's promise?
Only a few survived the outbreak, but that was just the beginning. Now they'll have to fight harder than ever to stay alive.
Fight to Survive is book one in a post-apocalyptic thriller series about people pushing past their limits as they try to survive the end of the world.

When a series of devastating terror attacks brought down the United States, Conor and Barb assumed they were safe in their compound. They had everything they needed. They were armed and highly trained. But then, Barb was kidnapped. The kidnappers didn’t know why Conor was known as The Mad Mick. They didn’t know the fear and respect his name invoked in the shadowy underworld of covert operations. They didn’t know that when it came to protecting his family, he was without conscience, without compassion, and without equal. But they would soon find out.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 313
Before the lights went out, Jack Warrant never considered himself a prepper. That was someone on the edge, a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday cultist who had a fatalistic view of the world. He was neither a theorist nor a cultist. He was an optimist. At least that was what he told himself when the darker thoughts creeped into his psyche as he stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night. Whenever he started down the rabbit hole, he always clawed his way back into the sunlight.

It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

Love love loved this!
This book was buried in the mass of titles I have on my phone. I had forgotten about it. It was amazing. I read a lot of books in this genre. Dave Bowman has been a favorite for a while. So glad I dug deep & looked for things I’d missed.
Can’t wait to read or listen to more in this series. Narrator was great too. (Andrew Tell always is)
The characters are true and make mistakes like any of us could.
I loved the smiling laughing deaths.... great new idea. Want to know more about the virus.

Typical but not too bad.
Not a bad addition to the apocalyptic horror genre; a bit overly dramatic at times by the narrator, but not too bad. This is your typical virus gone viral killing 95+ percent of the world’s population. Those that remain are immune and now must face the overwhelming task of survival. The story transitions from Nick in El Paso to Liz in Albuquerque and back again; typical format for this genre. Ultimately the two join up and then it’s the struggle from meeting the good and the bad to finding safe housing in which to wait out and survive the crisis. The characters are thinly developed and naive, but likable. It appears this is the first book of a series, but I don’t see myself investing more time into this story. Three.point.five for the effort. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

5 strangers join together to survive
This promises to be a good series. The basic plot is strangers that fate has put together due to a massive killer flu.
The characters are interesting 2 males and 2 females and a 9 yr old girl. The one fellow has his act together for the most part the other is the life of the party it seems.
The females one is a bit manipulative but solid otherwise and seems very bright. The other female is a generation Z type and clueless and the most frustrating character ( its all about me type) . The young girl is a prodigy
What makes the story interesting is the interaction. None of these people i could see getting along all that well much less friends. But they band together for safety in numbers and at times the differences cause friction ; Everyone is dealing with grief and loss as well
There is some violence but it is not over the top.
The narrator I have not heard before but he was good.He uses inflection thats varies for the females which makes it easier to associate characters with voices.
This is a series that based on the first book will be a good one
I was given this book to review by the author. My opinions are honest and what I thought and felt while listening

It’s a great start to a new series. There was nothing terribly surprising about the story but it was enjoyable and kept me hooked. I definitely want more.
Really enjoyed the narration. Very well done.

An Above Average Post-Apocalyptic Story
The Smiling Sickness leaves people dead in a few days with a smile from ear to ear like they died doing something they loved. Before then - they are mysteriously gray and unknowingly passing the disease among family and friends. There are a few who have managed to come out of it without the sickness but having lost everyone they loved.
The virus in Fight To Survive was pretty well written. I'm usually someone who wants more about the disease and less about the preparedness (I love Bio-Thrillers), but I thought that Bowman gave me just enough to be curious without giving too much that I could shoot holes through. I love that the little girl knew the percentage of people it had killed off before anyone else did. I can't imagine what a world that lost 96% of its population would be like.
At first, all I could think is "oh no, is this going to be one of the stories where everyone is completely nice and they pick everyone up on their way to the lodge?" Thankfully, Bowman cut that out after the beginning (it was a nice set up to get everyone in one place though). It's hard with how many post-apocalyptic books for me to not find something I dislike - in Fight To Survive it might be just how quickly things hit the fan. I think that dealing with what was described would take a little while for people to even realize what was going on - let alone turn to the dark side. Sure, for the pacing of the book, it's totally understandable though.
Bowman did a nice job at creating characters that were unique to each other with their own strengths and weaknesses. I like that a "city girl" was thrown into the mix who wasn't familiar with guns, homesteading, or farming. It's not to throw a wild card into the fire like that because then it's not 5 people who know what they're doing against the world. It was also nice to see a bit of naivety shown by everyone in the group. Most of the time people just know what to do when everything falls apart but the reality is that most people would be scared to death and make mistakes.
Overall, Fight To Survive could be the start of a really interesting series. Adding Andrew Tell's narration - I'm betting that this series will surprise me.

waiting patiently for book 2
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were relatable and the story was captivating. Not your usual post apocalypse tale to say the least.

Andrew Tell is amazing! He does a super job on this book. As well as the others I have heard him perform.

Post apoc with a difference
A good read, that left me wanting more!
Post apoc with a difference a main character who isn't a super prepper or perfect in his decision making. A guy who thinks he's prepared but find out the truth, and he and his companions make some pretty poor choices.
Well written and thought out, well edited.
Narrated in a comfortable style that made for easy listening.
Just want the next book NOW.
