The Quiet After

A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller (Foliant, Book 1)

By: Mike Kraus

Narrated by: Mike Kraus

When the world falls apart and death surrounds you, the only way out… is through.

From 4-million-copy bestselling master of thrilling fiction Mike Kraus comes a new epic tale: FOLIANT.

A nerve agent is deployed in cities across the country, and within hours tens of millions are dead—but the worst is yet to come.

Caught in the middle of the attacks in Los Angeles, the vacationing O’Brian family barely survives by the skin of their teeth—but soon find themselves trapped in the midst of a city of the dead. The only way back to their family in Oregon is to go straight through the heart of the charnel house, a prospect that is easier said than done.

Far to the north, in Oregon, the Tills family vineyard is spared the worst of the initial attacks—but the secondary effects may be their undoing as the world falls apart around them.

For those in charge of the response, the attacks are evolving too quickly to predict, and the country’s final undoing may be closer than anyone realizes as the terrible attacks have only just begun....

FOLIANT is a thrilling 6-book series that blurs the line between technothriller, post-apocalyptic thriller and all-too-real possible predictor of the future. Written by 4-million-copy bestselling author Mike Kraus and published by Muonic Press, The Quiet After is book 1 in this epic series.

Mike Kraus and Muonic Press are the #1 best-selling and most prolific publishers of post-apocalyptic, thrilling fiction—for good reason.

Realistic characters, compelling storylines and a dedication to the highest possible quality have earned him over four million sales and counting.

I heard snoring!

I’ve listened to this author before and have been pleased, but this book was painfully slow to get any where. I’ll think long and hard about book #2.

A good story line that was poorly executed.

The only thing I liked about this book was the story idea and it being written from the view of several character groups. The book should be categorized for Young Adults, I disliked the narration and I dislike cliffhanger books. I also dislike when authors make the characters do stupid things they would never do. So, overall it was a negative for me and I won’t buy anything else from this series or this author.

BORING

It was so dragged out. It took the whole book yo explain a half a day. It went too into details explaining sections of 3 different characters groups and then it just ended??? WTH

Most boring ever.

This has to be the most boring book I have ever read. I want a refund.

Boring

There was a lot of hype about this book, but it was unbelievably bad. Let’s pile into the RV, run over dead bodies, get out to gather food and gas, get back in, run over more bodies, and on and on and on it went. Don’t waste your credit.
