  • This book was published in 2019, well before the current pandemic. This is the full, unabridged audiobook. There are 4 books in the series, and all 4 audiobooks will be on CZcams over the next week.
    THE ROAD TO THEIR SAFE HAVEN IS PAVED WITH DANGER
    With their house burned to the ground, the Bronsons accept Jeff and Emily’s invitation to travel to a farm in Central California where they can start over and make a life for themselves. Joining them on the seven hundred mile journey are Jeff and Emily, Chris and his family, as well as Derrick. But the journey won’t be easy-not with survivors of the pandemic starving and desperate. With danger lurking around every bend, the Bronsons and the rest of their group will have to dig deep to find a way to make it to their destination unscathed. Good thing they are willing to do whatever it takes to survive.

      Agree. It is a good book a good story line but the author has to tone down all the second guessing and self pontificating it just kills the story lines because its just not what people do. A soldier does not hold fire and consider the families of the evildoer he is fighting. When an evildoer is exchanging shots with police officers does not have any police officer stopping and having a debate with himself.

    One problem I see with stories like this is that if 95%+ people die off in a very short period of time, the authors miss or ignore that the reality for the survivors would be that of abundance rather than scarcity for quite a long time. Food doesn't just disappear overnight. Even all of the food that was hoarded away and fought over at the stores will still be filling up the houses of those that died shortly after. For instance, just one of the hundred or so markets within a mile radius of my home is a small Indian market that besides all of its other non-perishables, has several thousand pounds of various kinds of rice. That's 'can feed a village' level of rice. Again, even if that was hoarded away in the last days, practically all of it would still exist uneaten and likely most of it in the same neighborhood.
    We're talking about a mass die off of 95% of the people within a week or two. Yes, there would chaos. Yes, at first there would be fighting over goods at stores and eventually looting. Simply though, after that week when only 5% of the population is left. There would be *a lot* of food available (as well as every other kind of good.) Even considering the Just In Time model, if you live in a town of 20k people, the JIT flow is emerges from that amount of commerce. If a week later you're down to 1000 people, resources just wouldn't be an issue.
    I just don't get hungry, ambling, downtrodded people unable to get access to vehicles or food so early on in this kind of scenario.

      @@tammyk6358 That too. So many authors just want to jump into the expected struggle and miss opportunities to explore what would actually happen.
      This premise with 95% dead within a week would not produce a story of survival like this. Authors tend to universalize these figure when if you look at the real world it just wouldn't happen.

    • @alphacraig4784
      @alphacraig4784 Před 2 lety +4

      You're partially true. The author definitely made the wait inside the house take a bit too little time. But supply chains got messed up and US stores run on just in time deliveries. It's not entirely unreasonable that food would be scarce because a lot of shoppers shop when they're almost out of food too. Combine those and I get easily see where some places are short on food in about a month.

    • @Sybaris_Rex
      @Sybaris_Rex Před 2 lety +5

      @@alphacraig4784 This wouldn't be the case in the scenario of this story.
      Let's take some small town America. 20k people. That town up until the pandemic operated in manner that it just sustained that 20k. Let's even assume that in the first few days they entirely wiped out every market, bakery, grocery store, the Walmart near the highway, gas station, beverage store etc. Employees even steal all of the goods from the restaurants.
      Over that first week 95% of the local population dies. Practically all of that food still exists, it has simply been relocated and much of it locally. The dead don't eat (in this story.)
      You now have around 1000 people in an area that a week prior was stocked for 20k people (and more when you really look into it.) People tend not to realize just how much stock that places like some restaurants or bakeries go through and hence keep on hand.

      It was not unreasonable for Tyson and his boys to stop entry to their town.
      There would have been many refugees from Salt lake who could have stripped the town, people like the bushwackers back at the rest area. Allowing people to drive through their home was obviously a new thing, they had to discuss it for an hour. The access tax was ridiculously high, most likely because many of the defenders just wanted to turn them away. Allowing a large group to drive through the town would be a risk in the same way as allowing a group into their neighborhood back in Salt Lake.
      Dropping them off in the middle of nowhere was amusing.

  • @isuckaspresident.dementiajoe

    I'm enjoying this series but a few things are off. Who doesn't have a week to a months worth of food in thier cupboards? No one's starving after 5 days. I've literally gone 7 days without eating and only drinking water. I didn't feel like I could kill someone for food lol.
    This virus is said to not survive after 24hrs of the host dying and on surfaces. So wait 48hrs and take the deads food if you're starving that bad instead of breaking into living peoples houses.
    After 2 weeks peoples clothes aren't going to be dirty and torn. It's not like thier houses burned down and they lost everything. They should have clothes in drawers and closets and no one stole clothes from Walmart because they're scared of a virus. Every house will have clothing in it.
    If you said 4 to 6 months these things were happening to people it would be a more realistic time frame.
    Other than time frame to actions I think the books very enjoyable. Better than most apocalypse books. Still 5 ⭐s

They absolutely can and will be ripped and dirty as hell in two weeks unless you're just sitting on your ass in your basement gorging yourself on the prepper stash of food you've accumulated over the years. If that's the case then be ready because you're a target.

      @@ADITADDICTS It would seem like people would have plenty of food at home to last a while, but statistics say that most only have about 3 days worth. I am the child of depression kids who knew real hunger, so my mom taught me to stock up on things when they go on sale. Most of the population are two generations away from the Great Depression and have lived through a long period of abundance. They've never dealt with such deprivation, so they don't feel the need to have some backup.

    I highly recommend everyone spend a long weekend as if you are in a grid down emergency situation. No you needn't unplug your fridge. Just pretend it's out and live out of a cooler, using a bbq grill or what have you to cook, no heat or AC, wash with your garden hose for everything. If possible port a john in use. No phones or other electronics. It's a learning experience. Though I understand that some of you live in hurricane and tornado zones and are old hands at these types of catastrophes.

      I get that. She (Jessica) seems like she was developed as a character with very little real-world toughness, so she comes off as naive and soft. I’m glad there’s someone representing that very common group of people. So many of us get aggravated at people like that, without understanding that some people are just raised different and have different mindsets. (It takes all kinds, right?) I love the character of Dylan, though! That young man could have my 6 any day!

    The first book and the hour of this one that I’ve listened to so far have been entertaining and thought provoking.
    And maybe this will come in later, but it’d be nice to tighten up the specifics of the guns a bit since they are so crucial to the story. The characters have been accomplishing some unbelievable feats with some kind of concealable ‘pistols’ so far.
    Taking out a mounted machine gun with a handgun while driving is bordering on divine intervention…
    And you really wouldn’t ever want to choose a handgun as your primary weapon in a firefight. I like the old adage that a handgun should just be used to fight your way to your real weapon. A handgun is great to conceal, or have on you as a back up, but you’d really want a semiautomatic rifle or a shotgun. They are exponentially more powerful and accurate. Scenarios like this are good things to keep in mind when scummy politicians try to ban those types of guns.
    Compare an AR or AK to most any handgun at 50 yards or more, and you’ll notice how much more effective a the rifle would be in that type of situation.
    That said, I’m glad that the author has people thinking about societal collapse. It’s shocking that even after Covid, people do not see how delicate our society is.

Everyone catches lead immediately if any form of altercation started if i was in this situation. As a father, no one would have a second chance when it comes to my kids and wife. Good series so far, and i think this is a very good representation of how folks out west would respond to such situations.
