I understand the idea of reiterating that Joe had no military experience but honestly, aside from the special forces groups, the average US military service member is not trained in survival. I spent 8 yrs in the USMC, combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are trained to fight, not hunt, fish, purify water etc. To be honest, Joe is better trained to actually survive the apocalypse than 99% of the guys I served with. Does he lack weapons knowledge, tactics and combat skills, yes but the average Marine has no idea how to field dress a deer and butcher it.
Ok Marine. You and your boys get a deer, preferably not blown into deer burger, and I'll show you how to field dress, butcher, and cook it. If you guys behave yourselves I'll even provide crayons for desert. 😃
Thank you for your service to our country. This story really reinforced, at least for me, the need for community during a disaster. Nobody has all the skills needed to survive. Bringing different skill sets together is the most powerful way to go
Thank you for your service. I understand that’s become a cheesy thing to say considering what a lot of y’all sacrifice. But i truly sleep a little better at night knowing we got the US military ready to lay down their lives to protect the country they love 🇺🇸
@1Melody1963 absolutely 💯 true 👍 and the further we decend into chaos here we will learn to form community again just as the world before our last few generations
Thank you sincerely for this. I got covid in December 2022 and I used to walk five miles every day prior to covid. I have been bed bound for fourteen months due to long covid. Sometimes I can't watch movies/ series/sports because I get really bad headaches. I can listen to audio books with the screen off. I am really enjoying this and I appreciate it very much. 👍
Pros and cons of the story. PRO:Technical data on firearms, ammunition, geography and military equipment is spot on. Story doesn't really slow down and become stale, the action is well written, plot and characters are fleshed out. CONS: I felt a lot of the story was the "Kobey and Chloe apocalyptic soap opera". The repetitive rambling on about jealousy, sex, breaking up Cole and Chloe, threatening Cole over Chloe, Kobey's constant female misogynistic bullshit towards men, "training men, I'm as capable" blah blah blah, it got tedious every time we visited the main characters. The lack of emotions in characters who witnessed their parents being killed yet they are portrayed as immediately being able to call Joe and Kobey "mom and dad". The instant bounce back to normalcy by women who were kept as sex slaves was unbelievable. Overall, I enjoyed the book, if you can tolerate roughly 6 hrs of soap opera bullshit, you should enjoy it.
Tyvm for saying what I'm thinking ...is this book by a guy? Because it really reads a lot like a torrid girly romance novel. Kind of disturbing, that 16-year-old snooping around a 12-year-old, though. It seems like a lot of pedophiles fixate on their preferred sex/age in their late teens/early 20s. But no therapy after this, lol
Excellent writing and narration. Very creative. No zombies much appreciated. And, yes, the wit, wisdom and foresight of Grandma is great. Her voice just right. Very clever writing. Stayed up a few extra hours listening. Thank you for sharing this great find.
Joe saves women and child, lets them live in their cabin, provides for them in the middle of the apocalypse, women and child proceed to treat him like trash, LOL
Can’t thank the author more for his insight and his forward thinking about what could and probably would take place when such an event could happen. It opened my eyes to things that I never thought about in my own prepping. Very sobering and hope that it doesn’t happen in my lifetime. 21:26:46
@@mattym4451 Thats because its a idealistic fantasy it wont go down like this If you have a collapse you will be dreaming of the transformer children times.
This was a terrific story. To tell such a story w/0 a LOT of swearing, zombies & in-depth description of gore made this so great. Easy to follow the characters also. And dear Grandma… well I just love her voice ‼️ smart Lady with a hint of meanness ROFL. It is sad if one looks at todays chaos that we could be facing similar situations. I’m a country gal & we were never “preppers” …. Just lived far from a town that you learned to keep things on hand that you use often. So there for I’m PREPARED 🤩🤩 Will look for Coles story now. High five ✋ to author & narrator 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Absolutely fantastic book. I love emp/post apoc/shtf books. This has been one of my favorites. Joe really does change and grow in this book to become a great leader! 10/10
Remember the CCC!!! First they were named Civil Conservation Camps, then they were named Civil Concentration Camps. Do your research to find out the truth about history and people like Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, etc. 😉
Just beginning the series; but wanted to say how much i enjoy Kevin Pierce as narrator of every book I've heard him read. He does it right. He simply Reads the story. He doesn't put attitude in until the women are too tuff and the men too whiney. Thanks,,,, for sharing him - and these marvelous authors - with us.
It never fails that the women act like tough B***** and the men even after saving their lives several times always apologize in every single one of these types of books
the best ive ever listened to is " THE LAST TRIBE " The series isnt listed but i wanted to listen to it again so i typed it in..the audiobook is the best and takes u on a wonderful journey that u cant stop listening !!!!
More recommendations are Hells Children, Christine Kearsey Chaos Begins (it is self narrated so not as smooth). Movie here on YT Survival Family (Japanese subtitled movie that will make you think and is family friendly)
Thanks! Very good, love the letters from grandma "twist" - adds depth to character...keeps him "real"... has that kind of "Jeremiah vibe. I recommend " America Falls" series (It's the best I've heard, so far.)
Let's hope rap has died out by 2038, when I think this story is set, if I understood the timeline correctly. That would be one small blessing at the end of the world ;-) (I had hoped rap would have died it back in the eighties when I first heard that BS).
Awesome story and great narrator...however Kobe should really check her attitude towards someone whose cabin she just moved into and is being a gentleman torwards her
Seriously one of the best read and written non zombie apocalypse audio books I have listened to. Highly recommended. Looking forward to the next series about Col..
Yeah, I am enjoying it at 3hrs. 15mns.. It is a bit too domestic like for a TEOTWAWKI book but the narrator and the author are both very good. So I will continue listening.
I agree, and I enjoyed it so much the first time, that this is the second time I am listening to it. Luckily I had a small stroke after the first time, so a lot of the story still comes as a little surprises once again! Silver linings and all that, lol.
I'll commend and add as I continue listening: That grandmother's voice almost brought me to tears. I had to bury my grandmother earlier this month (September)
The daughter being 12 is a stretch. My daughter is 12. Highly intelligent and I am a prepper. I talk about this stuff all the time. She couldn't tell you to hide the jeep. That's a big stretch.
The guy narrating reminds me of the guy who used to host and narrated the TV show Unsolved Mysteries. Well written and a fantastic story. It's worth the time of every minute to listen to. 👍🏻👍🏻
I, at 73 am such a prepping grandma. I have food for several months for my grandchildren plus survival supplies and books. Still working on it. I plan to. backpack with my all-terrain walker to a remote place selected here in nearby Cleveland National Forest.
One THING THEY keep forgetting with these books. No one mentions the disaster FROM Nuclear Power Plants. Why do THEY always forget that ONE MAIN PROBLEM. NOW THAT WILL CHANGE THE WHOLE NARRATIVE OF ANY OF THESE SURVIVAL STORIES. Lol
1:03:47 "...Let's go home before this gets ugly." WTF??? Listen, so far I do like this audiobook, but that part right there is absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic as hell. Car's are crashing all around them. There are injured people falling out of vehicles. 1 full size jet just crashed into the mom's work, that she just left like 10 minutes ago, killing her fellow employees. And another full size jet just crashed into the school where her daughter had just been no more than 4 min ago, killing a good majority of her teachers and friends. Yet somehow neither mom or daughter so much as gets a bit blurry eyed. No real shock. No crying over the sudden loss of life and craziness around them. Instead we get the daughter saying they need to get home BEFORE it gets ugly???? The author has the daughter possessing the calmness of a seasoned special forces soldier, instead of like the12 year old girl she is, that would be going completely bonkers, crying and screaming. I hope there are not too many more of those unrealistic moments. It kind of spoils the whole vibe.
Jeremy, you have the same problem with it as I do. First off, it is WAY too "domestic" for a SHTF story. The main three are all way too "chill" in a scene that would be utter chaos and savage within 24 hrs. The so called experts say 72 hrs. until it goes sideways, but I never thought that was accurate. I know people from the cities and the farmland and the mountains in this country, or have known them. Within 24 hrs. the big cities will be lawless and you will see murder and assault out in the open in the middle of the day. In combat we become animals very quickly and empathy for another uniformed meatsack is gone. And you are eating everyday, you are with brothers who have your back, meds, structure (usually) plenty of shit to keep a tether on reality. But even that makes zero difference. Imagine what goes down after an EMP. Almost instant savagery of all kinds. So, yup, this sounds more like a crappy camping trip.
@@gib59er56 Agreed. Unfortunately it's been a minute since I listened to this one, and I've listened to many other audio books since. So I don't recall if this one got better or worse.
Kev. Is one of my fav. Narrator's. And it's all about the voice behind the great story. I just finished an audio book. With the main man named Howie. Great book and also loved the narrator's tone of voice... It was 43 hour's or so long. And dreaded it ending. But now, I have found this one.... So far so good....
To convenience that he inherited, moved, bought an old truck , bought the correct supplies and converted money to silver, all within a few days. To convenient.
We should start now writing in a journal or make letters. There are so many things i truly want my kids to understand and right now they are teens and "know everything " an in turn don't want lessons from ma. They will want them some day. I know because i wish i had some from my dad.
If they don’t add other meats and fats to their diets they will be in trouble- people can get “rabbit starvation” or protein poisoning. Too much protein and not enough fat and carbs are not healthy for us humans.
finally a character in these emp post apocalyptic books that is just an average dude, every other book they are all super military guys with money and also preppers lol, nobody is prepared for this, thats why joe rules
Love listening to this series! Very much enjoyed the narration as well. I’ve only got about 90 minutes left; a wee worried that it can’t all be wrapped up. Great writing.
What a great series. Very gritty and nonstop fast paced action I'm looking into a few books mentioned in this series and can't wait to hear Cole's saga
The fact that I'm 5 minutes in and have rolled my eyes up past my forehead multiple times makes me think that's not a good omen for the reality of the advice I can get from this book or the satisfaction of the story. 🤦♀️ I don't know if I can stick it out to find out.
Fair warning, every audio book i watch gets takin down, not my fault, i lover the audiobooks, and i love books read by this guy too, i hope to see more
Ain’t just you, you also search daily using obscure words I’d bet, it’s a algorithm thing once a threshold is hit cOpeeR¡g#+ (NEVER USE THAT WORD!!!!) kicks in
It's an ok listen. Over 6 hours in starting to get bored. At about 3 hours it's begins to be about couples. 4 hours in n joe is talking marriage. The SHHTF n it's not about survival n the invading country terrorists but love n lining in the woods. Needs more SHTF stuff n less lovey-dovey I'm gonna move on on. I'm a female n I can't stand this kinda read. Need more action n explanation. Others may like it. Thank you for posting. Really enjoyed the JL series you posted! Thanks again!
I love how easily and sensibly the characters kill. It's so refreshing. Most other books make me cringe and lose interest quickly with their goody goody let's all be friends and hold hands till we're shot in the back by the people we humanly spared bullshit. If anyone knows of any other audio books like this I'd love some suggestions. I usually listen to zombie post-apocalyptic stuff to make my nights at work go quick but lately have broadened my horizons to emp, virus, or other TEOTWAWKI books. Zombie Rules was one of my favorite but I can't find it on utube to relisten.
you might like checking out and following BZA RZA GZA he's an independent writer/narrator/prepper and does some kick ass post apocalyptic books called the "Carrington Chronicles" that are realistic. He's got a lot of parts to his book already out so it will give you days of listening and he's still going to produce more but has been on a break for a bit working full-time to make ends meat since the economy has went to 💩check him out 😉
You also might like One Second After by William Forstchen. If you like it, it has sequels as well. I personally think bza rza gza's series is even better, but I did enjoy the one second after series as well.
Currently enjoying this audible. So far there are 2 things that just strike me as unrealistic for 99%. The women pushing her husband off on another women because she has cancer and is dying. The other is people moving on so quickly after losing their parents. Doesn’t go into the depths of traumatic loss. Ie like calling someone else mom weeks after losing your mom. Except with infants this is unrealistic. Enjoying the story.
First off you should never put spoilers into a comment without warning that there are spoilers in your comment second off you're not taking into consideration the situation they are in she knew her husband would die if he didn't move on right away
You don't really have time to grieve when you're fighting for your life. How would you know if any of this seems realistic? Have you lived through a worldwide apocalypse?
I think it depends on the age of the ones who survive. I lost my mother at a young age and I had to adapt, no choice since my father remarried. Sadly he remarried a creature that should have never been permitted access to children in this galaxy. Luckily for me, my favourite aunt lived within walking distance and I spent as much time as possible at her home. My father has passed and NO I do not have a relationship with that creature, nor do I allow anyone to call her my *mom*, she never was and never will be.
I understand the idea of reiterating that Joe had no military experience but honestly, aside from the special forces groups, the average US military service member is not trained in survival.

Jane said to Chloe “grownups are not used to hearing kids talk about killing people.” Has the author never heard rap????
Touch grass bruh most rap isn't about killing
Let's hope rap has died out by 2038, when I think this story is set, if I understood the timeline correctly. That would be one small blessing at the end of the world ;-) (I had hoped rap would have died it back in the eighties when I first heard that BS).
Joe shouldn’t have apologized for anything. He did what was right and if that idiot woman doesn’t like it she can go take on the world by herself.
i realy wished joe and his people would have gone on more treasure hunts ...

We should start now writing in a journal or make letters. There are so many things i truly want my kids to understand and right now they are teens and "know everything " an in turn don't want lessons from ma. They will want them some day. I know because i wish i had some from my dad.
I like the old Lady , she is a class act ;)

If they don’t add other meats and fats to their diets they will be in trouble- people can get “rabbit starvation” or protein poisoning. Too much protein and not enough fat and carbs are not healthy for us humans.
I read these years ago, enjoy hearing it read aloud. Forget so much.
What a fabulous narrating voice!
Thank you, you triggered alot of fond memories of my grandparents
Book 2 5:48:40 Book 3 11:05:31 Book 4 16:22:23
Wow. Just wow. Amazing story and insight. Thank you so much.
I've listened to this over and over again on and on the last couple of years still looking for the same kind of apocalyptic servival stile.😊
finally a character in these emp post apocalyptic books that is just an average dude, every other book they are all super military guys with money and also preppers lol, nobody is prepared for this, thats why joe rules
Christine Kearsey Chaos Begins normal people in extreme situations.
I'm really enjoying this as well and grandma rocks
This is my type of apocalypse…..Joesgetting more than a stray cat shelter lol
Love listening to this series! Very much enjoyed the narration as well. I’ve only got about 90 minutes left; a wee worried that it can’t all be wrapped up. Great writing.
Yeap...im thinking the same thing. I have 2 hours
They rapped it up as well as they could
What a great series. Very gritty and nonstop fast paced action I'm looking into a few books mentioned in this series and can't wait to hear Cole's saga
Love this dude reading the book
Kevin is my favorite narrator..lol he could read Humpty Dumpty and I would be entranced 😂❤
Very well-written story I was very invested in the characters and when unnamed character is killed I almost cried
Gold and sliver is nice i believe skills and knowledge would be better leverage to invest time in my friends have a blessed day
You need to bring back those other books they were so good
The fact that I'm 5 minutes in and have rolled my eyes up past my forehead multiple times makes me think that's not a good omen for the reality of the advice I can get from this book or the satisfaction of the story.
🤦♀️ I don't know if I can stick it out to find out.
I know, it’s a bit 😬 cringey
Definitely worth the read some of his dialogue is a bit cringey but he gets the message across
It's got great ideals to think about but the writing can be a bit simple
This was a wonderful story thank you for sharing it.
FOR ME I LIKE AR15 ,, M16,,, BEFORE A4 ,,, AK47 AK50 .
TO EACH THEIR OWN.
I wish they would have spent more time on the treasure hunt.
Fair warning, every audio book i watch gets takin down, not my fault, i lover the audiobooks, and i love books read by this guy too, i hope to see more
Ain’t just you, you also search daily using obscure words I’d bet, it’s a algorithm thing once a threshold is hit cOpeeR¡g#+ (NEVER USE THAT WORD!!!!) kicks in
Great story, glad I found this series.
I'm liking this! But it's cartridges,...not bullets.
Thanks for loading this on CZcams. I appreciate it.
Omg love these books. I read them a while back. So stoked the books are on YT
🤠 TO ALL WHO ENJOYED AS MUCH AS MYSELF I SAY
THE END LOVE ❤️ GRANDMA 👵
It's an ok listen. Over 6 hours in starting to get bored. At about 3 hours it's begins to be about couples. 4 hours in n joe is talking marriage. The SHHTF n it's not about survival n the invading country terrorists but love n lining in the woods. Needs more SHTF stuff n less lovey-dovey I'm gonna move on on. I'm a female n I can't stand this kinda read. Need more action n explanation. Others may like it. Thank you for posting. Really enjoyed the JL series you posted! Thanks again!
Thank you so much hun that was very nice of you to remember
This was a really good series.
Could you post Cole's Saga?
What is coles saga is there a spin off?
@@Dino2GunZ yes. It has Cole and John's parents. I think this guys name was John. I'm several books passed this one
What is the name of this audio book and who is the author?
I love how easily and sensibly the characters kill. It's so refreshing. Most other books make me cringe and lose interest quickly with their goody goody let's all be friends and hold hands till we're shot in the back by the people we humanly spared bullshit. If anyone knows of any other audio books like this I'd love some suggestions. I usually listen to zombie post-apocalyptic stuff to make my nights at work go quick but lately have broadened my horizons to emp, virus, or other TEOTWAWKI books. Zombie Rules was one of my favorite but I can't find it on utube to relisten.
Adrians undead diary is great. Alt apocolypse is a good set. And America falls is excellent.
you might like checking out and following BZA RZA GZA he's an independent writer/narrator/prepper and does some kick ass post apocalyptic books called the "Carrington Chronicles" that are realistic. He's got a lot of parts to his book already out so it will give you days of listening and he's still going to produce more but has been on a break for a bit working full-time to make ends meat since the economy has went to 💩check him out 😉
You also might like One Second After by William Forstchen. If you like it, it has sequels as well. I personally think bza rza gza's series is even better, but I did enjoy the one second after series as well.
I agree with the suggestion to listen to One Second After by William Forstchen. Probably the best, in my opinion.
White Flag of the Dead was a great zombie series. I loved Adrians Undead Diaries too.
Excellent series...this would be a great series on TV..or a movie
Currently enjoying this audible. So far there are 2 things that just strike me as unrealistic for 99%. The women pushing her husband off on another women because she has cancer and is dying. The other is people moving on so quickly after losing their parents. Doesn’t go into the depths of traumatic loss. Ie like calling someone else mom weeks after losing your mom. Except with infants this is unrealistic. Enjoying the story.
First off you should never put spoilers into a comment without warning that there are spoilers in your comment second off you're not taking into consideration the situation they are in she knew her husband would die if he didn't move on right away
Well it is fiction so there is that
You don't really have time to grieve when you're fighting for your life. How would you know if any of this seems realistic? Have you lived through a worldwide apocalypse?
My sister in law picked out his next wife ..it worked ...she died peaceful.
I think it depends on the age of the ones who survive. I lost my mother at a young age and I had to adapt, no choice since my father remarried. Sadly he remarried a creature that should have never been permitted access to children in this galaxy. Luckily for me, my favourite aunt lived within walking distance and I spent as much time as possible at her home. My father has passed and NO I do not have a relationship with that creature, nor do I allow anyone to call her my *mom*, she never was and never will be.
