Aftermath: The Complete Series
No food. No shelter. No way out but through.
As a calamitous pair of storms pummel the coastline, they bring with them an insidious shadow that threatens the entire country.
In the midst of the whirlwind, two women on the run from their past must either stand and fight - or be consumed in the aftermath.
Tired of the same old boring story? Welcome to your new, epically long addiction from #1 best-selling post-apocalyptic author Mike Kraus, Stephanie Mylchreest and Misty Zaugg.
***
Twin hurricanes obliterate the eastern coast of the United States, bringing with them a blight that devastates America's breadbasket.
As the nation's food supply withers on the vine, the population turns upon itself and millions die from starvation, infighting and disease within days of the storms' passing.
In the midst of the devastation left by the storms, two women in the Gulf Coast must fight against the dangers from their past to survive the aftermath of the storms and find a new order in a broken nation.
***

The story is a good one and started out strong and even plausible. I bought the boxed set of 5 books on sale.
I truthfully felt the entire story could have been told in 3 books rather than 5 without losing anything.
It is was way too long with very repetitive conversations and thoughts among the main characters so I found myself skipping entire chapters and would come back to find I hadn't missed a beat.

Survival thriller
The series starts with two hurricanes bearing down on the southern states and carrying in their winds the seeds of further destruction as the blight hitting South America is carried north. This is the story of several groups of individuals whose lives are dramatically affected by the disaster and the struggle to survive long odds with the hope of refuge and forging a new community.

I enjoyed this series, but it dragged quite a bit and I found myself saying just get on with it! The heroes of the book made stupid mistakes and didn't seem to learn from them and made them again. The last book went really fast and wrapped up loose ends, almost too fast, it's like the author was tired of the story too.

Aftermath, a good solid read
Very good plot line. It kept all of the characters involved with purpose. It showed the growth of the main characters along the plight of circumstances.
I would recommend this set of books to anyone of any age.
I gave it 5 stars, because I liked the flow of good reading

Character driven storytelling
Really enjoyed this series. I liked seeing how the various characters evolved and got stronger by learning through adversity. Loved that the women were front and center. High octane adrenaline flowed throughout.

Great read from start to end
I read a lot of apocalyptic books, this is not about zombies but how real people survive, thing is it could happen. Thoroughly recommend this series of books, biggest disappointment was getting to the last page, hope authors write follow ups

Long in tooth
I loved the series, it was an excellent apocalyptic story that was very believable. No Zombies but there were some very bad people. Just enough to keep one interested.

interesting story
Improbable situations make put the story beyond likely. Too many words were used to bring the story to life, abut unwieldy.

well done
Much better than most apocalyptic sagas. The characters were well developed and you felt that you were walking with them at every turn.

Half decent story line. Little far fetched at times. Some scenarios didn't seem realistic. Over-all was half decent.

Awesome
Loved it. From the first page to the last. I was sad when the book ended as I am with any other Mike Krause books I read.

Good Disaster Book
It was great to find a non-zombie post apocalyptic book instead of the usual mumbo-jumbo.
Well written and captivating.
There was some repetition of character's thoughts, but not enough to be super annoying (w/o the repetition, I would have given it a 5-star rating).
Looking forward to more books by these authors.
