Cities on Fire: A Family's Apocalypse

Apocalypse: A Family's Survival Story - Book1

By: AJ Newman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Cities on Fire: A Family's Apocalypse This is a tale about how the Karr family survives and meets the challenges thrown at them during the early days of the Apocalypse. There have been nuclear and EMP attacks on the USA and most of the world. The Apocalypse has caught the world by surprise. Cities and countries are on fire. The USA has been reduced to burned-out cities, the grid is down and society has reverted backward 150 years. Food and drinkable water are scarce. The US Government is no longer able to help or protect its citizens. Millions are dying. In “Cities on Fire,” several of the Karr family members have to travel long distances to reach the family bugout location and encounter death and destruction along the way. Could you walk hundreds of miles in a short time to get the jump on the hordes of people flocking from the cities to the countryside to find food? Could you kill to protect your family from criminals? Worse yet could you kill good God-fearing people who would kill you or your family just to get food to feed their starving family? The Karrs live through these situations and get stronger day by day. The Karr family has a mixture of old school preppers, conservatives, and liberals that make for an interesting blend of personalities, opinions, and sometimes even volatility. They are able to hate the sin but always love the sinner who disagrees with them. They have each other’s backs through thick and thin.

Narrated by virtual voice = no inflection or feeling in words.

I loved the storyline but it was hard to get past the mundane virtual voice narration. Worst than any human narration I’ve ever heard. Devoid of feeling and inflection. BUT, loved the story so I toughed it out and eventually got sort of used to it.

Hatevirtual voice

Love the premise and characters. Virtual voice not a fan. It at times lulls me to sleep

story plot

liked very much will recommend to friends. Will continue to listen to more of series

love the story but the voice is killing me

The voice is too monotoned no reaction. You can't tell when one person ends in the next person begins

Skip the virtual voice. Just read the kindle or paper version.

I really enjoyed the storyline. The virtual voice was absolutely horrible to listen to. There are numerous mispronunciations and no voice inflection of any type. You would be much better off to just read this book. Until they can get better virtual voice, I don’t think I will do anymore books that are narrated with it.
