This review contains spoilers.
Another book on the end of life's existence for countless humans-- not that there is anything wrong with another story containing diseases, horrible lunatics, starvation, destruction and so much more fun.
Before the events of this book take place, there's an extensive amount of back story concerning the father, named Grant and his four children. Grant's past includes running out continuously on his family, addiction, selfishness and as his wife lay dying, he was somewhere else taking care of his own needs as usual.
As the world begins the downward journey of human destruction, Grant takes his motherless children to his father's farm. His oldest son hates him and believes Grant will let them all down yet again, but Grant fights his addiction and continues to win.
They barely survive the winter when suddenly horror is thrust upon them. Modern day pirates, though land pirates, descend upon their farm and create havoc, kidnapping, and murder.
This is where the story turns to such sadness that I could hardly continue reading. Grants young son is killed by the bandits, and his daughter taken.
I know that children would die if this story came true, but reading such sadness is hard to bear. Children die all too often in the real world--why shouldn't they live in books.
There could be a worldwide referendum to prevent the death of children until they are the age of 18 in all future books punishable by some horrendous sentence.
I plan to read the next book in the series name Remnants though I'm sure it contains more sadness to be endured.

Oh, dear. For one thing, there are a lot of editing errors that should have been easy to correct. Most of the characters are very one-dimensional and the two that are not either don't get enough plot time or are killed. As the disaster starts, 4 kids are home alone with just a teenager under 18 and no responsible adult to answer to(how does that happen?) and there is clearly seething history over an absent, alcoholic dad. Suddenly, they are with the dad arriving at a remote farm. No segue as to how this reunion happened or any adventure leaving the city to get to the farm. The EMP causes planes to drop out of the sky, yet the cars seem OK. There are not even stalled cars to avoid apparently. There seems to be a lot of game and fish near the farm (and hello grow vegetables?) yet they mostly are starving and struggling to hunt. The one kid that knows how to do it, they all treat like garbage. I decided to make this a 2 star and not a one because I did manage to finish it and it was mostly coherent...mostly. Still, I will not continue with the series.

Very fast read as you can’t put it down. Fast paced with good character development. I will have to get the second in the series right away.

Interesting book. Of course the author follows the path of the government is always hiding something and you can figure out what's going to happen but I enjoyed this first book and will be continuing the series. I'm not going into detail about the author's writing skills, I'll leave that up to others who may or may not have written their own books. I just like a good story.

This was an easy read, but offered nothing original. the characters were predictable. I felt the writing started off rather amateurish, but Williams gained confidence as the book went on, to the point action sequences were well done and highlight of this book.

There's a lot to like about this story of a family struggling to survive the winter after catastrophe takes down the power grid. The plot is strong and the situation is competely believeable. I hate that I can't give it another half a star for all those positive points.
But the weakness of this book for me was in the characters who seemed very predictable and one-dimensional. Father and son Grant and Alec are at odds over dad's recovery from alcoholism, which is a daily struggle the family can ill-afford given the perils of survival. But of course, Grant resists temptation (and throws away some perfectly good, possibly medicinal and certainly barter-able vodka!) and Alec and Grant unite. And then, of course, there are the homicidal bad guys. Gotta have them, of course, but it would be nice if there were a few nuances to those characters that make them more than evil for evil's sake.
The talent of this writer shows in the creation of the character Trent, who is not who he seems. There's some depth here, some real character development. I don't want to say more: read the book. But this character is the most "real" to me. The others are a bit cardboard.
Finally, I'm sort of picky about the "craft" of writing. While the story speeds along and I kept turning pages to find out what would happen which is very good, there's a real problem with that old writer's adage about "showing" versus "telling". "Showing" creates the scenario and lets the characters talk and act. When the writer "shows", it doesn't feel like he or she is even there; instead, the reader IS the characters, seeing and doing what they do and feeling for them and with them. "Telling" is the opposite: the narrator tells what the characters do, what they thought, what their problem is, etc. One is really good-- and creates stories that sweep you away. The other is a little boring... and means you skip words and scenes to get to the next part where something is happening. You can't connect to characters when the author tells you things about them. You connect when the writer doesn't say a word about what they think or feel, just puts you in their shoes.
There was way too much "tell" in this story which meant I skipped whole pages. But when the author "showed" he showed well. These were usually the action scenes.
Overall, I liked the book, certainly enough to read the sequel, The Remnants and find out what else happened-- and certainly enough to recommend it to you.

This one gripped me straight away, it is fast paced and it's from several POV's which I just love.
What I liked about this book is the straightforwardness of the story, the author isn't afraid to kill off main characters. He keeps you on your toes and I found it to be difficult to predict what would happen. Why not 5*.....It skips through time quite quickly and it's a little short but I'm starting the follow it NOW.

I have a sort of love-hate relationship with dystopian fiction. The idea of it is somewhat intriguing, but the execution tends to leave we wanting. I guess the problem is largely that these types of books are built on this overwhelming sense of despair, and that is not feeling I particularly want to permeate my life.
This book was not quite so bleak, to begin with at least. There is an "event" that somehow disrupts the use of any electricity or electronic devices. No one knows what this event was, or how it was able to so effectively destroy civilization. This feels very hand-wavy to me, but within the context of the story, it could work. More problematic is the implicit assumption that these things will somehow never work again. That kind of bothers me, but I can move past it.
The first two thirds of the book is very slow. It is focused on the relationships between the characters. While it helps to establish a baseline for the rest of the series, it was a little difficult to slog through. Then the pace picks up rather suddenly and races to a cliffhanger ending.
I read on the author's blog that he decided how many books he wanted to write before he finalized the story. I can't help but wonder if it might have been better to write the story (or at least outline it) first, then decide how to break it up. The ending isn't bad (though I generally think cliffhangers are a bit overwrought), but this is a fairly short book, almost a novella. If the other books are a similar length, this seven part series might have worked better as a trilogy.
Overall, it was pretty well written (despite a few grammatical errors), and interesting. Now I need to decide if I want to buy the rest of the series. This would be an easier decision if there were only two more books, instead of six.

After The Event is a book about what happens when society collapses. It’s never quite clear what the actual event is that causes the world to end, but it’s also largely irrelevant to the story as well. The book follows a family as they try to make it in the new, harsh world.
The author pulls no punches in this book. Once society collapses, the world is a dark, horrible place. It strikes me as extremely realistic at times and, at other times, a little ridiculous.
It is very clear that almost everyone, even those extremely prepared for disaster, are not long for this world once society collapses. I liked the way the author was able to switch perspectives for the characters throughout the book and, simultaneously, push the story forward.
That said the story could have been a bit longer and focused on some of the characters more. Everything feels very reactionary, and the story could have used some slowing down in places. I’d care a lot more when characters died if I knew more about them.
There are a few weird formatting issues and typos that broke me from the story, but I’d wager there are less than five in the whole book. I’ve found more in published books before, so this wasn’t a huge issue for me.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys survivalist/prepper fiction. You’re not going to learn any new tricks from this book, but it’s still interesting to see how the world develops. It will certainly make you take a hard look at what you might do in the case of a disaster.

By far one of the crappiest books I've read: Stories about the modern world where some event has stripped everyone of the technological conveniences have always been interesting to me, but this book, seemed to be more about the interpersonal conflict between the kids and their father than a deep exploration of the society under such events.
The kids seem more intent on blaming the father for being an alcoholic and not being their mother during her fight with cancer. Which should be expected and that anger which the kids feel isn't wrong as such, but I couldn't help but consider that if this is how the author wants to set up a 4 part series then perhaps he shouldn't only bring the drink into question, but also the thirst as well.
Because very little is done to delve into the history of the parents, the reasons for why he may have fallen into drunkenness, to humanize him, or even to explore mother's life and what may have brought her to him. I could only ask, that if he truly was a shitty person then why choose to be with him or have his kids.
When dealing with the dilemmas of learning to survive in a technology-less world, in learning to live off the land, nothing is written in any satisfactory detail and therefore is a testament to the lack of research on the author's behalf.
This is the first in a series of four books, but considering the horrible job the author has done in setting everything up, I do not plan on reading the remaining 3 books.

Wow.... I've read a lot of dystopian and postapoc fiction over the past three decades. I've gotta say, it's been a very long time, and a lot of books ago, that I've become this emotionally invested in a story.
Although fairly short and not getting into the details as to what exactly The Event is, the story of a father fighting for redemption with his family and then having to pick up the mantle of father - leading his family away from that which was familiar into a world turned upside down.... just, wow.
There are moments in which, no matter how much of a manly man I think I am, I could very well have reacted just the same as Grant (the main character). The sheer terror of trying to keep your family safe in a situation that is completely alien by today's standards... I found myself getting pretty worked up at times.
I recommend giving this a read and anxiously await to start reading the second book.

drama after the "event"
The Irving family consisting of: Alec 16, Ben 11, Joseph 8,and little Ayla 6, were living on their own when the lights went out and a 747 crashed outside their apartment. Their Mother died of Cancer but now their father Grant who has been missing comes to the rescue and takes them out to Carter Irving's (Grant's dad) ol' house in the woods about 30 miles from Centralia. Alec and Grant are not getting along because Grant abandoned the family when their Mom got cancer and became an alcoholic...now after 2 years he returns 1 year sober. Once the Irving's get out of town into their Grandpa's house they meet some interesting characters while trying to survive the cold winter. Everything's alright after they make it through winter but spring brings the bandits..and we are left on a cliffhanger. I think it's a simple story, not unique but enough to want me to find out what comes next for Alec and family.

Grant abandoned his kids in favour of alcohol and is forced back into their lives by the death of their mother, just as the apocalypse hits and the power goes out. He wants to prove to his kids that they can trust him to look after them and become a family as the world falls apart around them.
Oh yeah Grant is just a prince amongst men. He stole from his kids and vanished on benders for weeks at a time, beat up his wife, left her alone to die of cancer with just his kids taking care of her and he wonders why his oldest son doesn't trust him??? The guy is utter pond scum and not what I want as my so called hero! I hated the guy and didn't care what happened to him.
The book was also very slow. We don't really see any sign of the apocalypse, just Grant moaning and trying to get around Alec with more promises, Ben wandering off alone, brief conversations with a neighbour...there was nothing exciting in this book at all.

Good story, but if you have issues with grammar and spelling errors, skip the series. the constant use of the wrong spelling and bad grammar made it a slower read than it should have been.

Pretty good
I guess this is one of those books in a series you have to start with and hope it gets better. The writing is pretty good, although a bit repetitive....don't need to be told more than once or twice how much a kid would hate his dad under the circumstances. The action is well set out and verbal intercourse is solid. It is a scary and rather sad story so far, but realistic and believable. I now am beginning the second book in this series hoping to maintain interest as I see this author put a lot of thought and research into this story. Would recommend, I think, at this point

Not real good
After beginning to read this short book, I found myself skipping pages. I didn't see all the editing glitches I read about in other reviews but I found myself not wanting to read about Grants alcohol issues or the teenagers problems with his father. There was not enough survival action and I found the book rather boring. Also if this problem was caused by an EMP, where did it come from and why? And how is it some trucks and vans can drive? The EMP kills everything with a computer chip in it. And where are the government people? Zombies didn't eat them so they would be here somewhere. Anyway, not a good read.

No realistic at all
I don't usually write bad reviews, but this book is pretty bad. I didn't get more than halfway through before I gave up. Just a few examples: after an EMP, a 747 would not be heard falling to the earth as it doesn't have running jet engines. The main character's van turned into a truck a few chapters into the book. This family of 5, including 4 children, it seems, was able to live off a turkey, a few fish, and well water for weeks to months. (!) I was also surprised that they had a working vehicle and did not encounter any disabled traffic and had relative ease getting out of the city. Sorry, but I just did not like this "story."

Imagine what it really would be like if a catastrophe hit that wiped out most of humanity. What would you do? Could you survive? Grant had abandoned his family when his own world revolved around his next bottle of alcohol, now his wife had died and the world's population had dropped to almost nothing. Now he has to find a way to protect his kids and be their father again. Unfortunately after an event such as this the evil comes out in people. This story takes you in to what happens after and takes you for a great ride.
November 10, 2014
I'm a little torn with this. On the one hand, it was quite a good concept, but on the other, it was really hard to connect with the character of Grant. All the author's attempts to make me feel sorry for him just were not working at all, but maybe with a bit more back story, it wouldn't have been such an uphill battle. It seriously began to run out of steam about halfway through, and by the time I got to the end, I was just thankful it was finished. I doubt I'll read the next book in the series.

Great story of courage and love!
A man who was an alcoholic finds himself in a world destroyed and he has to take care of his four kids. His eldest son Alec has lost respect for him for past actions. But the new challenges bring courage to the father and the kids to survive any way they can. And as usual the most dangerous creatures out there are lawless men.
Action and family love and friendships make this a book I could not put down. I am on to the next one in the series.

A short but good book
I usually like post apocalyptic stories that take you through the 'world as we know it' ending and this book has veritable of that. However the storyline and characters were developed nicely and were believable enough.
I don't think I will be purchasing any of the other books in this series though as the main theme of this novel will not be able to be repeated.

Excellent
Purchased for low price, not expecting much, couldn't stop reading. A little slow to start but loo once you figure out the characters and circumstances you are hooked.
Going to purchase Book 2 now and hope it is as good.
This storyline could actually happen anytime. We should be more prepared.
Good book.

After the Event
This is a great book, so much happens in this extremely adventurous story its hard to put into words. A family story dysfunctional as it gets but still a story of a wonderful family. This is the first book I. The series and I can hardly wait to get the next book in the series. You should read this book its emotional, its thrilling and a true adventure.

Short read but enjoyable. This story line is starting to wear on me because everyone doing an emp story does it over and over but I really enjoyed the flawed main character. I will be reading book 2 because I want to see where it goes.

Good book
Good solid book. Very believable plot especially after the event. I would recommend reading this book. The characters struggle with both staying alive and their own inner conflicts.

Really good story and a quick easy read. I loved all the characters and their parts in the story. Not a whole lot that is different from other similar stories but still a page turner. However........what the heck.......book 2 is only available on kindle......now what???

Good read.
Good read.
sad but enjoyed the plot line. More like real life. I'm ready to read part two if the series, and I hope it's as good as the first.

It is a good book but characters need a little something. There was not one person I really related to. Still good read and will read the second in the series.

A good read with a decent story line. while I enjoyed this book I think some character development and back story in the beginning could have helped.

It was a great read just way too short.
