Alpha Farm: The Beginning

The Prepper Chick Series, Volume 1

By: Annie Berdel

Narrated by: Sandra Parker

From the beginning, Emma was always looking for modern ways to become self-sufficient. Following the signs of a faltering economy and a nagging in her spirit to return to her family farm, Emma begins rebuilding a life independent from the grid and away from her high-stress corporate job.

Is it any wonder that when a localized electromagnetic pulse is detonated over the New Madrid fault line and the grid is taken down that Emma immediately goes into action? Well, at least until Senator Varga and her personal army show up at Emma's door. That is one curveball that Emma was not expecting.

Calling her fellow prepper chicks into action, follow along as a modern-day underground railroad is formed, a long-forgotten way of life is pulled back into action, and they all adjust to a world without rule of law.

Interesting story, but new editor(s) and narrator needed.

The book was educational and thought provoking. The author has and refreshing point of view that we should help each other after a horrible event -compared to the male writers in the same genre. However, between the narrator, the redundancy of words and descriptions, and the quantity of characters, I had to force myself to keep listening. For the author... If you explain something once with one character don't do it again with another. Consider being less wordy, not using the same word two or three times in a sentence. I am not sure I would spend more money to continue listening to the series.

Excellent book

Strong women thriving against all odds while Society breaks down after an EMP. these women prepared in advance for their families and friends creating a network of safe houses and food storage on production.

Too much. All over the place

The prepper tips should be in a prologue. Too much rape and molestation. Monologue about being prepared seemed out of place and too long. Glad to read a prepper novel by a woman.

Bad performance.

The reader really destroys the dialogue in this book. There is some good content but is overall very boring. A lot of this may be due to the reader.

Loved this book!

This story grabs you and grips you from the beginning and keeps you hanging on until the last word! Can't wait for the next one in this series.
