Forsaken

A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Series (Dark Road, Book 10)

By: Bruno Miller

Narrated by: Andrew Tell

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Things go from bad to worse for Ben and his crew as they struggle to push on toward Colorado. Unfortunately, due to Emma’s deteriorating health, they’re forced to alter their plans. But a delay might not be their biggest problem.

Battling the elements and their own physical limits proves to be almost as treacherous as the roving gangs of highway bandits that lurk in the shadows, looking to prey upon the weak or unprepared. It’s more important than ever to remain vigilant.

Especially when being deep in Patriot Hooligan territory makes every stop to fuel the vehicles a potential life-and-death situation. The murderous gang of extremists leave no question about their intent for anyone unlucky enough to cross their path. Something made clear by the grim remains of their evil deeds that litter the route to Fort Wayne.

With no other choice, they must push on toward their new destination for Emma’s sake. But Ben sees Colorado and home slip further from their grasp, along with his expectations of humanity. Even the youngest of the group can no longer be sheltered from the problems this post-apocalyptic world presents or the tough choices that come along with surviving in it.

Murphy's law

This book series is family friendly and good overall. I appreciate how the father changes his perspective and parenting mindset. He wants to protect his family and keep them safe, but keeping them safe means allowing them, mostly his oldest son, to learn and participate in scenarios his paternal instinct says they shouldn't do. His son actually saves his father's life on more than one occasion. That being said, I think this book series was too long. It seemed like the group got into some sort of trouble every time they stopped to siphon gas or refill water containers.

Story picks up here

This book is when i finally started to feel invested in the story. The attitude of the main character still annoys me and i can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished i could punch him in his insecure, unevolved face - but hey.

On edge this book

This book kept me on edge. Worries more for Emma, Ben, Joel, and now the new family Eddie , Julia, and dog max. Am a little disappointed they didn’t end up staying and forging a bond with the family. They had such good set up, but also understand their goal is to get home and not be a burden to others.

Ends right when it’s starting to have some plot development

would rate this 3.5 stars if I had the option.

The story really has great moments, if there wasn’t so much filler and inner dialogue where Ben rehashes every single thought he has had for the day.. it would be much better(and shorter).

I liked the little plot twist, and I was starting to suspect it a few chapters before the end. I can’t wait to see how the next book plays out.

Narrator is good

I just can't quit this series.

I love this series. Great narration . Was the RV disabled? I think they should have told the family going to Oklahoma to go back and get it.
