Before and After

By: Andrew Shanahan

Narrated by: Chris Devon

The best-selling sci-fi thriller that blends healthy living and lots of dying

Ben Stone is terrified. He's terrified because he weighs 601 pounds and needs his right leg amputating. He's terrified because a crane will shortly lift him from his fourth-floor flat and lower him 44 feet to an ambulance waiting below. He's terrified because he hasn't been outside in nine years, and he doesn't know who will look after his beautiful dog.

He needn't worry, though, because the world is about to end.

Wonderful story

The narrator did a fantastic job and the writer took a weird concept and made it incredibly inspiring and well written. Fantastic.

Loved it.

I read this book on a whim, didn’t even read the synopsis, just jumped in blind and I didn’t regret it.

Fantastic story

My only real complaint is that you can hear the narrator texting or something before each chapter. Very mild distraction.

Wow!

A horror story I wouldn't have ever thought of. I mean, of course there is always end of the world stories but the perspective here.... top notch. Loved it!

An unexpected hero

This story was nothing like one would expect from a SHTF story. Our “hero” is not some special forces military vet, or homesteading prepper who has been preparing for years. No, he is the furthest thing from that, an obese homebody who can’t even fit out of his home. Seeing the end of the world through his eyes was an amazing change of pace from most books and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
