I love this genre and purchased the first and second books based on the excellent reviews but I just don’t like the writing. The narrator is good but the book itself was a slog to get through. Apparently a lot of people like this series but to me the writing is stilted, convoluted without being interesting and the characters are underdeveloped. The protagonist is so thoroughly annoying that I hoped beyond reason that he’d die…and stay dead.

The series got great reviews so I pushed through the first book even though there was not a single character worth caring about, most especially the protagonist. After about half of book 2 I decided I’d rather go back into the infantry than go any further. The narrator is very good, the books ( 1&2) though are disconnected, uninspired with characters I couldn’t possibly care less about. Not recommended.

I’ve been waiting for Shelby’s book for sometime now and she DOES NOT disappoint! Well worth the read for anyone, man or woman.
Men will get a good deal of insight into how a woman might see and react to the decent of Western Civilization here in the US.
Women who’ve perhaps never considered prepping/training will find a particularly excellent role model. I’m sending it to my daughter.

The writing by Joe Abercrombie is some of the best I’ve encountered- very well done indeed and the narration by Steven Pacey is simply masterful! HIGHLY recommended!

The "tactical virtues" STRENGTH, COURAGE, MASTERY and HONOR are clearly described. And their value - though obvious to to those in the path- are laid out in a way that allows even the most uninformed weakling to make a different choice and embrace STRENGTH!!!!
Read. This. Book.

If you could sum up 299 Days IX: The Restoration in three words, what would they be?

Plausible, educational, entertaining

What did you like best about this story?

What I enjoy most about these books is the overall plausibility of the story-line.

Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have and he is now my favorite audio performer. Kevin Is able to play multiple characters so consistently and well that I know instantly "who" is talking at any given point in the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

As things fall apart, most will tremble in fear, a few...will rise...against the growing darkness!

Any additional comments?

These books are an enjoyable and believable ride. You end up learning a good deal that might actually save the lives of you and your loved ones but in a way that is essentially effortless because the delivery is so smooth.

What made the experience of listening to The Collapse the most enjoyable?

it is a new take on the potential collapse story in that it is not total. It seems more plausible than most other "fiction" of like kind out there today.

Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?

Grant and "the outside thought".

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I'm pretty hardened, I don't have extreme reactions but throughout this series I've found my self nodding my head in agreement or shouting out loud "exactly!".

Any additional comments?

buy them, listen, learn, enjoy
