And the World Went Silent

By: Jacqueline Druga

Narrated by: Anna Maste

When Shelby Arnold slipped into the airplane bathroom to argue with her husband, she never would have thought it would save her life. But it did.

While she bickers with him over video chat, an unexplained phenomenon strikes the earth with devastating force, and the world is plunged into darkness and silence.

In an instant, ninety percent of the population loses both their sight and their hearing.

Shelby is not one of them. She and a few others on flight 1515 are spared the effects of the anomaly. Unfortunately, they are not spared the horrors of the world they face once they land.

A tragic, debilitating event for mankind quickly turns into an extinction-level event as those suddenly stricken with blindness and deafness are unable to navigate the challenges they face in the aftermath.

In the chaos with so many affected, those like Shelby who are spared are few and unable to do anything but search for answers they may never find in a world completely changed.

Annoying Main Character & Skip it

I really really tried to like it. I listened to the whole thing even though the main character really began to grate on my last nerve. This story had so much potential but it’s full of holes and no answers. Skip this one. You won’t get those hours back and you’ll just be annoyed like me at the end and in the waste of an audible credit.
