Breakdown

Dark Road, Book 1

By: Bruno Miller

Narrated by: Andrew Tell

Do you have what it takes to survive?

Ben Davis was prepared for disaster. He just didn’t know it would come so soon. He and his teenage son, Joel, are miles deep in the backcountry of the San Juan Mountains when high-altitude nuclear electromagnetic detonations light up the pre-dawn sky. Ben, Joel, and their dog, Gunner, must make their way home - or to whatever’s left of it - on foot.

Without the ability to communicate with his ex-wife in Maryland, Ben has no idea if Joel’s brother and sister are okay. The two decide they have no options but to head East. Before their journey begins, they venture into town to check Ben’s outdoor store for supplies and discover one of Joel’s classmates, Allie, alone and in desperate need of help.

When Ben realizes Allie’s flight attendant mother is most likely dead and her father lives in Pittsburgh, he knows he has to take her with them. Ben must use the skills he learned as an Army Ranger many years ago to survive the post-apocalyptic world they now live in. Can he keep himself and two teenagers safe as they navigate the dark and dangerous road ahead?

Pretty awesome

Everything you want in the first book of a long series. It’s setting the pace and story line up for a vast of opportunities. Narrator took a little getting used to, but I look forward to Andrew Tell narrating the rest of the series.

Why Wait? This kept me engaged the entire drive

This author has my respect. This is so worth listening too. I went on a very long car ride and I listened to Book 1 on the way and Book 2 on the way back. So worth it. I can't wait to keep going with the rest of the series.

great beginning for a series

good beginning - anxious for next in series- like his other series as well. carol

Meh at best

Story goes nowhere and then just ends. Waste of time. Even for free I feel I paid too much. The Barrie stir is lackluster and boring.

Decent, enjoyable but predictable.

I listened intently for it has been a while since I've enjoyed good dystopian fiction. This was a decent listen but it followed along the lines of near campy-ness at times.
