About this listen
As the world burns down around them, they will be forced to wok together - or succumb to the flames.
The #1 best-selling and most prolific post-apocalyptic author Mike Kraus - working with best-selling author Justin Bell - brings a new gripping tale of destruction, survival and humanity like no one else can.
A new blend of metals was promised to be stronger and last longer than traditional steel ever could - until it started breaking down into hyper-combustible byproducts.
Thousands of miles of pipelines go up in an instant, their chain reactions setting off fires that destroy cities, crumble buildings and reduce the civilized world to ash.
As the survivors pick through the ruins of their world, one mother will stop at nothing to rescue her children - even if that means traversing the country to find them.
Meanwhile, deep in the Everglades, protected from the destruction ravaging the world by his guilt and penance, one man will hold the salvation of a young girl in the palm of his hand.
*****
Mike Kraus & Muonic Press are the #1 producing and selling indie press publishing post-apocalyptic tales, for good reason. Since capturing audience’s attention with Final Dawn in 2012, Kraus has captivated and delighted his readers, both with his solo projects like Epoch's End, The End of All things, Surviving the Fall and No Sanctuary, and with his co-authored projects with authors like Justin Bell, Kate Pickford, Tara Ellis, Kenny Soward and others on titles such as Zero Hour, MELT, Flashpoint and Weathering the Storm.

Would you survive? Vince Walker and the remaining survivors from the town of Cloverdale, Indiana continue to come to terms with their new reality. Accepting the fact that the country has been thrust into nuclear war with an unknown enemy means they must forget their former lives and forge ahead. The affects of the EMP blasts have left the survivors with no utilities, and no communication with the world outside of their once sleepy little town.

Story
Cal's "honeymoon" didn't start off quite how he'd planned. For starters, he was heading somewhere he didn't actually want to go. And secondly, he was going alone and unmarried. He had no idea that his first visit to New York City would also land him in the middle of a domestic terror attack, forcing him to flee Manhattan in a desperate bid to survive. This was no ordinary terror attack. The Movement, in a misguided attempt to seize political control of the USA, unwittingly invited the destruction of their homeland.

Story
Jim Wyatt had always said that if everything fell apart, he didn’t want to just survive - he didn’t want to notice. When the world did crash, his family’s home of Stonemont became not only a refuge, but a place where it might be possible to start over again, and reclaim the American ideal. Among the many novels in the SHTF/TEOTWAWKI genre, The Reversion stands apart – and, perhaps, alone. It does not follow the survival learning curve of the unprepared or minimally-prepared, as so many excellent books have already done so well. Rather, it is the story of a man who was prepared, and ...

Solid Storyline & Characters, worthy
Peve: no book 2 to continue, just when things take a turn towards the reality of dealing with current conditions.
Overall, not a lot of original anything. With the exception for the cause, which we know just enough about to make it plausible (??). Basically, here we have a good paced, well organized book with characters we can care about getting thrown into what is quickly becoming the apocalyptic east coast of America.
The AI narrative isn't too bad, but I tend to be more tolerant than others in that regard. It is AI as it is these days. Take that as you will.
Happy I found this for free. Easily ready to get into book 2. Now I guess I'll search for my next distraction from scratch, again.

The story line is great
The overall writing is great, but the virtual voice reader completely ruins it for me. Stop using virtual readers as there is no understand of the context relayed with virtual. Wrong pronounciation of words, Emphasis on the words necessary to relay the meaning of the dialogue is wrong 75% of the time. Flat, monotone delivery. If this is the way Audible is going with their program, I won’t be able to continue to use the app. It is distracting and awful. It ruined a book that I normally would have loved!

The story is interesting. Worst narration I’ve ever heard
The story and idea wasn’t bad. When I say this is bad narration, it’s underselling how terrible it was. It says that it was narrated by “virtual voice” so I’m assuming that is some kind of AI like Siri… imagine listening to Siri read you an entire book… this was infinitely worse

no redeeming qualities
I hope that authors and publishers see some of these reviews because Virtual Voice is ruining audiobooks.. it makes me think you don't care about your work to just go with the easiest thing. I don't think I would have liked it either way, how posterous it would be for a whole country to use a material for building a huge amount of their infrastructure that goes up in flames from some guy smoking a cigarette and having it on his clothes like that wouldn't happen once in the entire time they built everything using it?.?. just silly
