Publisher's summary

As a prepper, Grayson Rowan was prepared for almost anything.

Well, anything other than being totally alone when the shinola hits the fan.

While he sat back and watched the United States rattle swords with Korea, play chicken with Russia, and strong-arm China, he felt sure if the lights went out that he and his family would be ready and safe—whether it was due to a natural disaster or a man-made event. They had everything they needed at their homestead.

What he wasn’t prepared for was his family not being home if it ever happened.

Olivia Rowan is with her sisters, Gabby and Emma, on a girls-only trip to Myrtle Beach. When chaos erupts and there’s no gas, their journey home is a nightmare, filled with predators and danger—and apparently, Olivia hadn’t learned a thing her husband tried to teach her.

When your neighbors run out of water and turn on each other, what will you do?

Jake, a country boy mechanic, never believed in Teotwawki, but he’d heard his brother-in-law preach about it many times. He knew what to do, but he didn’t prepare. He lazily left it all up to Grayson—he was the prepper after all. When catastrophe strikes, will he continue to keep his head stuck in the sand while his clueless neighbors destroy each other and his wife is stuck out on the road, or will he stand up and fight like a man?

And if you’re alone? Bug in, or bug out?

Graysie Rowan, a freshman at University, just wants to go home. When no word comes from the government and the state capital is overrun with looters, chaos, and mayhem, the college administration puts the students on lockdown. But her dad, Grayson, had prepared her for this. Now, if she can only remember what it was he said to do.

If they want to survive this post-apocalyptic event, they’ll all have to learn to fight like a man.

The end came not with boots on the ground, nuclear weapons, or an EMP. It snuck in with a quiet clatter at the back door and flipped the switch, covering the states in darkness and sending this family on three divergent paths that ultimately lead home. When they collide in this surreal and gripping family drama, it won’t be without bullets and bloodshed.

Too many do gooders surviving too long.

No way people with so much moral angst gonna survive this kind of situation. Too much allowance by some for the do gooder morality of others. No way a " reasonable man " as they say gonna tolerate treating threats with kid gloves.
Other than that, good story.

With the plot's twist and turns it hard to believe it's only fiction which kept my attention beginning to end.

I've read many post apocalyptic series and this has to be one of my favorites. I can see a coworker or neighbor in every character of the book. The detail and research to write such a series is astounding and the author pulled it off. I have to add, I most enjoy the books narrated by Kevin Pierce as he brings them to life.

Finally a teotwawki author that gets it.

I really like that the author let's the characters swear. I'm tired of reading books where the main characters kill someone in the most brutal way possible and then they're all gee golly willikers.
This author fixes this and gives you a story with a little extra mystery.
I hope she writes more I really enjoyed it.

I think the story was very well written .

I dislike that the series stops here and I hope sincerely that the author will expand upon this world.

Excellent SHTF listen

First off, Kevin Pierce is one of the best narrators, if not the best, particularly in this genre of books. His performance here was fantastic, as always.

The books themselves are very well written, and keep you on the edge of your seat. I devoured all four books over a few days of doing a project at my homestead.
