Sanctuary

A Postapocalyptic Novel

By: G. Michael Hopf

Narrated by: Keith Szarabajka

Surviving the attack proved to be more than they could have imagined…

Months after a super-EMP attack devastated the United States, the country is now unrecognizable. Major cities are run by gangs, survivors are dying of starvation and the government is falling victim to lawlessness. Those who were prepared for the end find that they weren’t really prepared at all.

While some seek vengeance for their losses, others are determined to restore the nation. Gordon, Samantha, Sebastian, Barone, Connor and Pablo are all on different paths, but they are all in search of a home away from chaos. They are all in search of a sanctuary.

Critic reviews

Praise for the New World series

“[Hopf] excels in his storytelling. Its authenticity makes it not only compelling but thought provoking as well.”—David Miller, The Herald-Dispatch (Huntington, West Virginia)

“Incredible.”—Before It’s News

great real life station possibilities

Good story line a bit segmented between one to many story lines but much improved on the dlivery.

It's good! Maybe not for the PG crowd.

If you like the genre, and are not sensitive, then you'll enjoy it. I'm just finished with book 3 and will go to the end. G Micheal Hopf is entertaining with his writing, and takes us through different stories of how the country unravels, and the fight for power, and survival. Good characters, and good conflict.

Great

Another great book by G. Michael Hopf. I love the characters in this series. I can’t wait for the next book. I would recommend this book and all of this authors books. I listened to this book on audiobook.

Good Book

It's book 3 so the short version of a review will suffice. If you read the first two, this is worth reading to follow the story.

Only real draw back is the narrator. I'm sure he works fine for other stories, but it's completely wrong for this book. Colonel Barrone sounds like a cabby from Brooklyn, among other flaws.

A Great Storyline Carried On

I hesitated at downloading this book. I enjoyed the first two in the series very much but the reviews regarding the change of narrators in this book gave me pause. WTH, it's only a book, right?

I'm very glad I did. The story line is good enough to overcome the narrator's deficiencies. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a failure at reading it, it's just his voice, like someone else pointed out, is an assault on your senses. His cadence and timing was ok/good, just that it sounds like he gargles with broken glass. It makes it very difficult to distinguish some of the characters. Some narrators make it so you know who is talking after you're into the book a ways, not here. That's his biggest downfall. It's not his fault though, right? (Unless you figure the steady diet of Marlboros and Scotch that probably got him that way)

Buy the book/spend the credit. The storyline is worthy. It's set up for a forth book which I'll likely buy. PLEASE go back to the original narrator though.
