Jerry D. Young's Survival Fiction Library: The Hermit

Book 1

By: Jerry D. Young

Narrated by: Joseph F Miele Jr

Neal Grant watched silently as the cemetery workers buried his family. It was just him now...alone...something he’d never been before. First, his parents and siblings had passed and then his wife and three wonderful children. All of them were gone forever now - all dead at the same time because of a drunk driver and a foggy road.

Little did Neal know that this was only the beginning of things to come. Soon he would realize that he had not only lost his family, but must also deal with a failing economy and a nuclear war.

Awesome

A really good book! Very entertaining I loved listening to the audio. Can’t wait to listen to his other works!

Incomplete Book

This was one of his first in the series. The narration was not great due to sounds in the background. Good plot, just cuts off abruptly. I’ve listened to all his prepping books on audible and enjoy them mostly.

What would you do if you had all the money in the world to prep?

Rich guy's entire family conveniently dies (who needs to have a family in the way), then he decides to prep for SHTF and then SHTF. Kind of a generic story, prep for trouble, trouble happens, bad guys attack good guys, good guys win, three hours of drecriptions of guns and vehicle modifications that none of us will ever be likely to afford. He falls in love with one of the ladies in the good guys group. The end. I heard of this author from other fans of apocalyptic fiction, heard that he was an enjoyable read while also teaching us something about prepping. I think I may have exhausted the genre. I'm not interested in hours of weapons descriptions or rich guys who happen to complete a perfect prep just in time for the disaster. The reader was just that. - a reader - No emotional depth. Not for me.
