The story is a vehicle for information about how to survive a CME.

For anyone already aware of the threat, it’s too much information and too little action. It spends a lot of time dealing with the problem of convincing doubters. It’s a valuable book for getting someone to start preparing, but spends too much time on internal dialogue and arguing with stubborn people. Too much tension and too little progress. Don’t think I can stay with it.

Good!!

Loved it. Characters are a little dumb at times but I guess that’s to make things more realistic. Other then that good read ready for book two.

I liked it.

This genre is always hit or miss but the CME angle was interesting. I always enjoy having/hearing the build-up prior to the actual event. And the information from those trying to enlighten the main characters made me think same as the characters. I learned a few things and was kinda inspired to research morez I even relocated my old weather radio. There were several “Oh, come on!” moments with the main guy and his family. I literally said it aloud… many times. I didn’t find Jim whiny as some said, just clueless. The often soft spoken tone of the narrator’s voice did lend a bit to that but I think his friend, Lee said it best. The guy is “soft” and unprepared. But darn lucky to have a neighbor patient enough to hang around, stick with trying to change his mind and even leave him so much help, like he did. I found the antagonist storyline annoying. A junky, how original. Points for writing a book, though! And hey, had they not made “dumb” choices it would have been way shorter… Im usually listening to these mainly to pass the drive to work… so it was worth a listen to me.

Not worth it

This book is mostly about the before the event. The MC is a wimpy dude with no survival skills who never seems very good at anything. I guess it’s suppose to show how even this guy and his family could survive but it’s one of the few books you just can’t root for his survival.

Very good

I’ve read a lot from this genre. This is a good story and unfortunately, realistic to what could happen. Great narration!

Left hanging!

This is from 3 years ago and there is no book 2??
It’s more than a cliffhanger. It’s in Limbo!

Good story

Enjoyable story. Jim Grey is inept every step of the way, and that was frustrating. On a positive note, Jim was a regular guy and not a former SEAL, Army Ranger, Marine Recon, just a normal working guy and that in and of itself was pleasant.
