Summary
In this bundle, I've included the first three books and a short story bonus - "When Jack Met Diane". Find out how the leading characters met and started their journey together.
Book 1: It Has Begun
Could you survive a post-apocalyptic world?
Jack and Diane were two average Americans living in small towns, or so it seems. Jack is a prepper and has been most of his life. The day started out like any other; Diane and Jack started their morning routines and equipped their every day carry items. Survival is for the prepared.
But when disaster strikes the United States, Jack's lifetime of preparing will be put to the test. Grabbing his two dogs and their bugout bags, the duo must escape their hometowns and find a safe place to seek shelter. What really happened, and will Jack's years of prepping be enough to keep them all safe?
Find out why this made best seller!
Book 2: Diggin In
The follow up to the best seller has arrived!
Continue the journey of Jack and Diane as they navigate the new reality. With more attacks, the duo and Jack's group decide this is not a one-off attack.
It's time to dig in and prepare for what's coming next. Meet new characters and find out what the terrorists planned next.
Diggin In has more action, more dialogue, more characters, and intrigue.
Book 3: Summer's End
Two months have passed since Jack dug in. Jack and Diane offer to help Robin find her family as new threats emerge close to home and in far-off lands.
The country is still without power and the coming winter will be brutal. Jack’s group is prepared, but how will everyone else make it through a cold winter?
Summer’s End has more action and new characters as Jack and Diane expand their reach.
Start the journey today.

Very Enjoyable Adventure
I enjoyed listening to this survival adventure. The books are well written and the stories are easy to follow.
All are well narrated, although I preferred the second narrator (book 2&3) although it’s harder to distinguish his character voices because he has such a deep voice.
I’m glad this was a trilogy as at about 9hrs, I find it about the perfect credit/listening time to get value for money.
All in all, a good listen and am looking forward to finding out more about the overall picture and completion of the story.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

Fish, hunt or starve.
This is, one might say, the bare bones of a story comprising three shorts, plus a bonus, strung together to form a novella. In some ways it is good: following an attack on the USA by an outside team of military terrorists, reports reach Jack and his co-workers during an out of town lunch meeting that radiation bombardment had poisoned the inhabitants of all major towns and cities. Liking to think of himself as an always prepared prepper, Jack, together with girlfriend Diane, head for the bungalow he'd held ready in the country, together with their bug out bags. Over the following weeks, Jack and his (mostly) Park ranger buddies try to keep the area free of trouble until finally deciding that the refugee population will have to fend for itself over winter.
There is very little character development, little emotional impact, either. After the initial determination that a radiation attack had killed much of the population, none of the characters seem in the slightest way concerned that a drift might come their way or that it could impact on any other aspect of their lives, and instead act as if they were clever to have provided themselves with alternative power. These so called preppers actually seem very unprepared other than having buried guns and bows in the garden, purchasing some chickens on the way to their cottage and Jack hiding from Diana the fact that his couch converts to an extra bed!I
There's a bit of trouble, a few deaths beyond the many killed in the first strike (which later seems to morph into a hacking of the electrical system) and lots of talk about how few would survive the winter. All very emotionless. The book is also badly in need of an editor, sliding from third person into first for a couple of chapters and some repetition: chapters 34 and 35, Best Laid Plans, being identical.
Two narrators, Kevin L.Knights and Warren Keys, the latter of these being far superior to the former, whose delivery is hesitant and slow. I increased playback speed to 1.25 which improved it slightly and, despite the slightly faster narration speed of Warren Keys, left it there without any diminution of quality. His performance gave individual voices to the characters and was much more pleasant to hear.
Whilst I hate to give really poor star ratings to a book, I cannot in honesty rate Aftermath of Disaster any higher. My thanks to the rights holder of Aftermath of Disaster who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. Rewritten, this could be the start of a refreshingly good survivalist story but with conflicting ideas, poorly sketched characters, tedious protagonists and bad - or non existent - editing, it really cannot be recommended. I did, however, quite enjoy the little bonus short, When Jack met Diane.
