There We Stood

Surviving the Evacuation, Book 17

By: Frank Tayell

Narrated by: Tim Bruce

As one year ends, and our old world fades into memory, a new future is born.

On a frozen archipelago, where it is too cold to farm, a few thousand survivors from across the Atlantic have found a refuge. The arduous process of turning a sanctuary into a home begins once more for these weary travelers, who’ve been chased from Britain, Ireland, France, and Denmark. But their work is not yet done. The missing Marines cannot be left behind. The French and Ukrainians cannot be abandoned. The cartel can never be forgotten.

As soldiers once again become civilians, the dangers of malnutrition replace the everyday specter of starvation. Potential mutiny supersedes being overrun by the undead. Boredom replaces fear. Slowly, they relax, allowing themselves to enjoy the simple pleasure of music and plays, of weddings and births, and of life without the imminent prospect of death. But all is not what it seems in the snowy wastes surrounding their town.

While Europe is a zombie-filled radioactive wasteland, there are other continents. Other oceans. Other survivors. Other communities, just like their own, who will fight to keep what they have clawed from the grip of the apocalyptic nightmare.

Set in Northern Europe, Eastern Canada, and the tumultuous seas in between, as one year ends, and a new civilization dawns.

Great Series!

I have listened to many TEOTWAWKI books and series and this rates as one of my favorites. I loved the characters and their development, their personal stories, and how they all came together and bonded, some better than others but in the end, I would purchase every book in this series again.

I have over 1000 books in my library and have probably written less than 10 reviews because I am not the review writer type because I am a listener. I listen while I work and I want a book that will keep me interested while painting for many hours at a time. The series is entertaining and interesting and I am sure I will come back to listen from the beginning in the next few years.
