Half a World: A Post-Apoc Survival Journey
Jake Reynolds is in a world of hurt, and it’s all his own making.
Tossing aside his safe existence as a leader of Task Force 68 and escaping into the jaws of a class 3 hurricane, he has chosen to embark on a journey around the world with a woman he has only just met.
Now thrust into the unknown expanse of the Atlantic Ocean with no sailing skills, no backup plan, and no outside contact, he has no idea of what to do next. With his entire world reduced to the size of a forty-foot sailboat, Jake has to adapt quickly as he soon learns that danger on the sea is just as bad as the post-apocalyptic world he left behind.
Added to this there’s a Half a World of water to cross to get where they want to go.

A REALLY GREAT READ
I love dystopian stories and this one is a good one. I don’t want to give anything away, but it is way different from most of them. If you like that genre then you must read this series. I have only read the first two of the series, but am rapidly going to read the third book. Mostly likeable people that you want to know what happens to.

Great series
Enjoyed the first book and this one is as good. Can't wait for the next one.
Though I might be biased, it has all 3 of my favourite subjects, Post Apocalyptic, sailing and New Zealand (in a future book hopefully)

I Recommend
This is one of the better series I've read this year, and I read a lot. Good believable characters and a unique perspective on the apocalypse. Treat yourself. You won't regret it.

Gripping
Because the world has changed so much, I feel very interested in finding out what they will encounter next and it drives me to keep reading. I didn't want to put it down.

Great book
Whole different take on post apocalypse fiction. I have sailed boats and can really imagine this story and get into it.

Great story
I am enjoying this series a lot! The 2 main characters are well developed and are enjoyable read about. The only downside is how many typos and wrong words there are.
