Several years ago, an ARkStorm, a once-in-a-thousand-years flood event caused by a series of intense atmospheric rivers, flooded the Central Valley of California from Sacramento to what was once Los Angeles. The weight of the water was equivalent to the volume generated by the Mississippi River times 22. It challenged an already fragile seismic system consisting of hundreds of active faults.

Story
Akart's standalone novel, ARkStorm, is based on actual events. In 1861, a 43-day series of atmospheric rivers, huge flows of moisture carried from the tropics to the West Coast, turned large swaths of California into an inland sea. The intense rainstorms pounded the state unabated with little respite. Rivers became raging torrents that swept away entire communities, killing thousands. The State’s Central Valley turned a massive body of water 300-miles long and 20-miles wide.

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.

She did it again! I Love This Book!
AR Shaw is one of my three favorite authors.
I loved the storyline, the description of everything in their world and of the characters themselves.
I don't know about y'all, but when I sit down in my comfy chair with something to drink and my two doxies beside me, I lay my head back, and close my eyes. Because I know I'm about to see a movie in my mind.
Everything is so vivid, colors, what the people are wearing, their faces, their hair styles, the homes, businesses, even Kevin's antique car 😁
I've done this since I was a little girl. I liked the pictures in the books my parents read to me, but what I saw when my eyes were closed was even better.
Bonus: the narrator was great too!
That's very important. Do you know why? Because I don't care how good a book is, if the narrator sucks it ruins the audio book.
Do you have any idea what that means for me?
Now I have to put my drink back on the table, move my two doxies out of their warm spots, and get myself out from under the blanket I was snuggled up in, without getting tangled up in it and falling on my butt! So I turn the audio book off, get a stronger drink than I have waiting for me in the other room and find my print copy to read to myself!
I guess that's not so bad. I can give the characters any voice I want them to have.
*** A word of advice ***
If you get a book, or audio book, that doesn't grab your attention in the first few pages, just put it back where you found it. Life is too short to struggle trying to read a bad book. There are too many good books just waiting for you to find them. So put that old boring book down and try The Drone Keeper on audible.
*Remember to close your eyes,
listen closely, and watch the movie in your mind.

Very good
Pretty impressed and comfortable with the narrator. As always AR's writing is impeccable. The attention to detail and composition is excellent. The story didn't quite have the depth I would have expected but let's see what happens in book two.
