Summary

Why do some societies collapse into lawless savagery while others prove resilient and lasting?

On Zero Day of the first and last cyberwar in human history, the internet went dark, transport and power grids collapsed and cities began to starve, showing just how vulnerable the world could be to a targeted campaign of online sabotage. This final instalment of this prescient epic of civilisation collapse finds the small ragtag band of survivors come together to face a new, but eerily familiar threat - the rise of a fascist militia among the ruins of a failing country.

With American Kill Switch, John Birmingham’s End of Days trilogy comes to a high-octane, thrilling conclusion.

Just my cup of tea.

Loved all 3 books. Never a dull moment, just a whirlwind ride through the apocalypse. The story is well written with a great start middle and end. The narration is excellent, Rupert Dagas is a superb voice actor who makes me believe these are different people from around the world I am now looking for other books he has narrated . I would recommend these books to anyone who is a fan of this genre, just stick with the first book because everything comes together for a great ride through the end of the world. Ten out of ten.

A good listen

RG does a fantastic job of narrating bringing the characters and the story off the page!! Across all 3 books.

This is closest to how it will go down, if it does.

Of all apocalyptic fiction, this is one of the very few where all the people don’t conveniently disappear or turn into zombies, making it one of the most realistic. Of course they take a few liberties for the sake of the story arc, but whatever.

Great finale

Hard to believe this trilogy was an audible freebie as I’ve paid for books that are nowhere near as good. A very realistic portrayal as to how things would probably go wrong I. Such a situation. One thing I particularly liked was the way the language and vocabulary as a whole became more corse as the decent progressed. A subtle point but it brought an extra dimension and energy to the book. Great narration too.
