Summary

When the world ended, Henry certainly had his hands full keeping his clan alive.

After all, it's no easy task bringing electricity back to the world, much less raising animals, expanding the farm, and everything in between. Still, given enough time, he could do it all.

There's just one problem. An insurgent group has sprung up, and they're determined to kill him and all the other men so they can steal away women for breeding purposes. And that is something Henry cannot abide.

Good book sport

On the whole I quite enjoyed this book. but it would’ve been far better if most the sex had been taken out or at least being realistic. Henry the main character is a bit of an arse how the hell he gets so many women throwing themselves at him this book I would never know any real women would run screaming from him.

Enjoyable listen

Ive enjoyed the first 2 books in this series! More of a laid back pace than some post apocalyptic books but also a more realistic story! Good characters and what bloke couldn’t want 3 or 4 wives to take your mind off the end of the world!

Boring and slow

Not worth wasting time on this. Nothing happens except endless tales of people gathering supplies from empty stores. I won’t be listening to book 3.

Horrible and completely off of theme!

I loved the first novel that was written. I thought it was a book about survival? Unfortunately, they have a sex plot which is completely irrelevant to a virus/ survival themed book.. I chose to stop reading the novel and will not be continuing with the next book in the series.

Different

I listened to the first one and was hesitant about going to the 2nd. I didn’t like how they put this guy in bed with every woman there and him saying they were his wives. Almost seemed like they were their own cult. I can see his attraction to one woman, but they act like he was a god. Just wow.

Apparently a romance novel now?

Why so many sex scenes that are so graphic? Way too much focus on the main character and his polyamory/ harem of women and not enough actual survival story. Stopped listening after 3 hours. Disappointing because I did enjoy the first book!

An Excellent Book

I love this series. I always picture Bruce as a Burt Gummer from Tremors type. Henry really cares for his family and wants to do everything he can to protect them. which really resonates with me.

Interesting, engaging, fascinating and thought-provokingY yes

This is book 2 in the series, it really shows the integrity, endurance meant, and the willingness to stand against evil in a post apocalyptic world is as well

Henry's family!

The CDC doctor, Estelle White, former Marine Angela Powers, and the survivalist Bruce Gassler had joined Henry and Jackie at the farm. Gassler had found five more survivors, which he brought to the farm to help with livestock and chores. The ten-year-old survivor Tommy Flint came as well as the baby Irene. Herny was busy setting up solar panels for power. A hybrid wolf that Jackie called a Coy Wolf was giving the survivors grief. They needed to be rid of the threat. Another threat was an evangelist named Ray Price, he was building a following of rebels near Birmingham. Henry had already had an encounter with one of his followers, nearly killing him. Ray Price, a radical if not psychotic Reverand, was a piece of work. No doubt he would make an appearance at some point. Henry’s little clan was increasing as he and Gassler found other survivors. There was much to do. Henry continued scavenging supplies and materials. Survivors with various abilities showed up here and there to add to the “family”. Ray Price was always in Henry’s thoughts. This is a very good apocalypse story. The narrator, Ryan West is quite good. I enjoyed it very much.

Enjoyed the book.

All in all I enjoyed it. Little different spin on the end of the world scenario. The reader should come to the south and go fishing with me and get the term for bream fish correct. I enjoyed his oration but his pronunciation of Bream was hilarious. A guy banging that many girls should get his southern dialect correct. Have him call me and I will take him fishing and hunting southern style.
