    About this audiobook

    No electricity. No running water. No food. No end in sight. If life as you knew it changed in an instant, would you be prepared?

    In A. American's first novel, Going Home, readers were introduced to Morgan Carter, the resourceful, tough-as-nails survivalist who embarks on a treacherous 250-mile journey across Florida following the collapse of the nation's power grid. Now reunited with his loving wife and daughters in this follow-up to Going Home, Morgan knows that their happiness is fleeting, as the worst is yet to come. Though for years Morgan has been diligently preparing for emergency situations, many of his neighbors are completely unready for life in this strange new world—and they're starting to get restless.

    With the help of his closest companions, Morgan fights to keeps his home secure—only to discover shocking information about the state of the nation in the process.

    Fans of James Wesley Rawles, William R. Forstchen's One Second After, and The End by G. Michael Hopf will revel in A. American's apocalyptic tale.

      A. American is getting better at fiction writing. I couldn't put it down. Love it!
    • 4/5
      The follow-up to "Going Home" doesn't disappoint. An action-packed read with a continuous pace that doesn't let up. The three male characters from the first book return, each back to their "home" and the book's narrative continuously shifts from one to the other. I've grown invested in the characters though I don't know if like would be the correct word to use as they are all morally reprehensible to me. Well, I guess I do like them in spite of their morals. LOL. This is just such a fun book and reads like a TV show to me; I can just see it all playing out in my head. The pace is fantastic and it was a page-turner. The book ends on an exciting note and I can't wait to read the next book. If you like military, gung-ho, survivalist themes you'll love this series.
    • 4/5
      Interesting take on how society would act and react to events surrounding the loss of power nationwide. Morgan at times seems somewhat overqualified but not to the point of detracting from the story as a whole. The pace is just about perfect through the entire book. The author did a fine job with descriptions and character development. For a popular plot this one felt fresh enough to be enjoyable and keep the pages turning. Certainly worth picking up and reading; once you do you won't want to put it down.
