Fast pacing

This is a fast pacing survival story. Is an EMP bomb the beginning of the end? Baxter family has to find a way to survive. I liked the characters more than the plot, but I want to read the next book.

Needs a LOT of work.

There are so many abused adjectives in this novella I almost have up on it for that reason alone. Then there's the problem society completely breaking down less than 3 hours after the EMP. It's not like we don't have plenty of examples of what actually does happen during a blackout and it's not this. But the pace is pretty good. I would say spend some time with a good editor (or anyone with a good eye for usage), make the breakdown more realistic (weeks at least, not hours), a do a bit of research about what actually is affected by an EMP. Has potential.

Aftermath is a very accurate description of what any big city could be like after an emp explosion.

An average family is caught in the aftermath of an emp attack. They must grow beyond their past to find their missing daughter. Society is in total breakdown, and it's every person for themself.

Good read.

This story starts off fast, and keep you on edge at an even faster pace. I only wish more than just one more book is ready for reading. I know I will regret not waiting till the series is complete before starting this journey.

Awesome!

I give this book a 5 star rating because it kept me hooked! I didn't want to put it down and was sadly disappointed the end had come. Smooth easy read, good way to pass the time relaxing and immerse in the story.

Intense HUGE cliffhanger

Aftermath of what might be an EMP. A family of three: husband, wife and teenage daughter are separated across Philadelphia.
Story is engrossing but greatly impeded by horrible editing.

When the world as we know it ends, what would you do? As Naomi leads her family out of a dense town, she encounters terrorist and terrors we don't want to think about. Will they make it in this new kind of world? I loved reading this story to find out.

I found this book to be very exciting, was very difficult to put down, after completing the first book went right into the rest of the series

[Pamela Shirk · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well written and interesting book. The people are far from perfect, the relationships are believable. Told from the viewpoint of a locally famous relationship psychiatrist who finds that her life is far from perfect and made worse by an rebellious daughter and a distant husband that she has not been able to connect with. She has been living mainly to care for her patients and must now learn to live through the new reality of a non electronic world. I liked it enough to get the next book in the series.

[Jackie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story is all about how 39-year-old Naomi Baxter finds herself in a situation that no one is ever prepared for, especially when they live in a place like New York city.

Very poor editing but a nice beginning to this series regardless for me as enjoyed the characters presented and how they coped with their change of circumstances in traumatic situations.

Audible:I enjoyed this book. We assume it was an emp that hit that made all the power and vehicles stop working. Naomi and her family want to get out of Philly,where bands of marauders are hurting people and worse. Elisabeth Lagalee was a very good narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Post-apocalyptic. Way too depressing, given the state of the world ATM!
