Survive the Chaos

Small Town EMP, Book 1

By: Grace Hamilton

Narrated by: Maxwell Zener

When the lights go out, anarchy reigns supreme.

After Austin Merryman’s wife died, he and his 14-year-old daughter left home to travel the country in an old RV. But the comfort and renewal they sought soon descends into chaos - even before the EMP hits.

When a message from an old college buddy leads Austin to a bridge in the middle of nowhere, he finds his friend - now an NSA agent - waiting to give him a USB drive. Before the contents can be explained, machine gun fire strafes the bridge, killing Austin’s friend and forcing Austin into the raging river.

Rescued downstream by a beautiful veterinarian, Austin learns that EMP attacks have thrust the world into eternal darkness and separated him from the only person he has left: his young, but resourceful, daughter. Now, he’ll move heaven and earth to locate her and make it to his brother’s hideaway in Utah.

But the post-apocalyptic world is no longer a friendly place. Resources are growing scarce. Factions break out and walls go up. Everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to survive in an increasingly hostile environment. And Austin’s daughter is caught right in the middle of this splintering society.

But an even-deadlier foe stalks them as they struggle across the landscape - someone who hasn’t forgotten about the USB drive Austin possesses. And they’ll do anything to get it back.

Please note: This novel contains violence.

Action packed

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and it was pretty entertaining. The story had the perfect amounts of action and excitement, emotional and frustrating at times. The book follows multiple people who's stories interconnect at some point keeping it interesting. The narration by Maxwell Zener was pretty good. It kept me engaged throughout the story with his character voices, tone and inflections.

Great book

Really liked this book. There was lots of action and great characters. The story was well thought out and executed perfectly. Great book for your library. The narrator did an amazing job bringing the characters to life and breathing life into the whole story.

narration cannot follow with his voice

find somebody else to narrate it it's a great book but his inflection on Words is always at the wrong time it's just not good very hard to follow because of his voice inflection at the wrong time in the wrong places

slow at first ends great

Alright it started slow but finished strong. I think the different people should have been mixed in sooner to break up the book a little. so the beginning was a little slow for me but ended very well

Very good

I personally don’t know if I’d be able to survive all the chaos and I’m always wondering how to figure out how to protect my electronics from an EMP where I look they wanna charge me .this book is really good and get some insight on what it would be like to survive in EMP attack. The characters are absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed the narration.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
