The Earth Died Screaming [Dramatized Adaptation]

Bastard of the Apocalypse, Book 1

By: Chuck Rogers

Narrated by: full cast

Ex-trailer trash. Ex-res. Dishonorably discharged ex-Force Recon Marine and MP. Ex-con. Ex-biker. Ex-FBI informant. Ex-wrestler.

It’s a lot of x’s to have by your name. It can give you a bad attitude, and it is not a good resume for most walks of American life. But it’s not a bad career track at all for a fixer in Los Angeles, and if the name of the new job is surviving the end of the world?

Put it this way. Staying alive in the post-apocalypse can be a real bitch. Sometimes it takes a real bastard.

My name is Benjamin Allen Frame. Last night, the Earth died screaming. Today is Day One....

Post-apocalyptic Batman, MadMax, and Duke Nukem!!

So, people go out and spend thousands on testosterone replacement therapy, when all they really need to do it read or listen to these books! Frame is the epitome of a bad ass and his adventures had me feeling every emotion imaginable. This is quintessential doom porn at its finest, and I highly recommend it to anyone with interest in the genre! Well done!

A story of a human being

While we may not all know one, let alone two people who have a bomb shelter, the character makes human decisions against it's chaotic world. A great post-apocalyptic story.

I loved the main character so funny and bad a

I need a second book to like asap! So funny and creative, total bad A

The apocalypse on acid - what a ride!

“Tall, dark, and gruesome for the win!”
This started off with the same popcorn, B movie goodness of Night of the Comet, with equal parts humor and post-apocalypse preppers inherit the earth action.

“There’s a song that goes…”
“There’s a movie that goes…”
The first book stood out for clever dialogue, interesting characters, and unique end of world features. The pop culture references were wicked sharp. The scene with the humpy, furless, mutant grizzly… hahaha.

“Can’t have enough sharp objects.”
The second book fell back into standard Mad Max territory, with standard hyperbolically evil villains and, unfortunately, standard violence and depravity (especially sexual). The grimdark details would have gone down better if the humor, pop culture references, and dialogue were equally sharp. It was still a great listen, just more like the middle seasons of TWD where you could feel the story losing its shine.

I don’t think I’d have enjoyed this as much without the graphic audio format, which kept the bloodshed in comic book splatter territory. I’d give the narrator for MC Frame six stars, if I could: he was outstanding.

Nukem,Fallout,Mad Max!!!!!

It has a bit of all of the above named, Nukem for the brutality, Fallout for the landscape and creatures, and Mad Max for the rugged biker style of it all. Without a doubt the best apocalyptic audio book iv listened to, not sure why on earth it isn’t more popular. I’m a slow listener but this one had me hooked and wanting more after the only two days from start to finish. You won’t regret it.
