Summary

A father and his son. Two-thousand-five-hundred miles apart. A blue ribbon crosses the sky. The world starts to unravel.

No one knows what is happening, but everyone is trying to find out. Buck is running his big rig from the west coast. Garth is trapped in New York City with his high school friend.

With Marine training and an 18-wheeler, Buck heads east. With no training and no communication with his father, Garth fights just to escape New York City.

The Hadron collider in CERN. Its twin south of Denver. The Australian outback. What do these places have in common? Those who might be able to fix things are trying to figure it out while Buck doesn't care. He is on a mission to find his son.

Is time the enemy of humanity?

Not really an ending to this

Kept me listening to find out what the mysterious blue light was, but I had to start speeding up the narration when I realised it’s one of those rambling stories with no plot, where things happen, but are boring. Lots of driving around, crunching data, things like that.

End of the world?

Loved the book, it was interesting from the start. The characters are well written and believable. The story builds and draws you in. Must have the next one soon.

Not my usual genre but I really liked it

I don't normally read/listen to post-apocalyptic books but I've listened to Craig Martelle's Nomad series set in the Kutherian Gambit Universe and fell in love with his characters and his writing style so I thought I would give this series a chance, and I haven't regretted it.

Buck and Garth (father and son) are on opposite sides of the US when a blue light goes around the globe and what follows is Buck trying to get across the country to be with his son, but falling foul of strange events.

The story switches from Buck to Garth to Faith at SNAKE in Colorado to Desi (Faith's sister) in Australia.

I really enjoyed listening to this and the narrator has a voice I could listen to all day long. IMHO a good story needs a great narrator and this book has that :)

Just isn’t quick to get going…

Pleasant enough listen, quite interesting characters, but the apocalypse but failed to materialise. Please ask the narrator to practice his Australian accents !!

I will keep with it though and follow the story on. Recommend (I think)

It was so bad it was nearly good

The characters were wooden with hilarious internal monologue. The plot was hilarious. Just everything was so dreadful except the narrator. I was going to stop but it was so funny I had to go to the end

ran.out of patience gave up

wasn't keen on narrators voice as it was more like a news reader with an urgent news bulletin than reflecting different charclac5ers but worse than that was how sloe the book moved. Got to chapter 9 and we are will in the first couple of hours of the incident. keeps. jumping back and forth between characters and settings but in all.nothibg really happened ecepxt a blur light causing a storm and some disruption. Good.god get moving on thos story! could t put up with the very immature characters who made too many teenage joke that go on and on and on. I never give up on a book but by chapter 12 I really can't waste any more time on it. can see why it's free. dont waste your time
