About this listen
Losses pile up like the snowdrifts of a never-ending winter in this post-apocalyptic series conclusion.
Nathan Tolley’s wife is gone, leaving him adrift in a vast ocean of bitter white that promises nothing but heartache and despair. Yet, his weary band of travelers continue to look to him to secure their safety. But Nate’s no leader. Every decision he’s made on their dangerous cross-country journey has taken them from bad to worse. First Detroit. Then Chicago. Now, Wyoming, which proves the deadliest of all.
As circumstances continue to deteriorate like the weather, Nate turns their sights south, but the past is about to catch up to them in ways none of them will see coming. And in order to embrace an uncertain future, sacrifices must be made.
Survival of the fittest gets real - fast.
And, this time, it’s personal.

©2019 Relay Publishing (P)2019 Relay PublishingThis had a more novel apocalyptic scenario than many disaster stories: this time the movement of the earth's axis has brought earthquakes and freezing weather to the Americas, making life untenable in places and forcing people to evacuate in search of New homes. Obviously, there will be some only too ready to take advantage of the situation. Nathan et al seem to have been travelling for a long time, looking for somewhere to settle but always, presumably, things have gone wrong. But still they go on, Nathan constantly mouthing the mantra, 'Family first,' Just a pity he doesn't apply it more successfully. Instead he wants to lead everywhere with the male 'I know best,' attitude and then, when he does find somewhere they could stop, he goes on to new unknown territory anyway. Each time the women are the ones to save him. Do you get the impression I found this man annoying?
Without any feeling of empathy towards the main character and without the overall picture making a full scene scape in my head, I found the book frustratingly two dimensional despite the interesting premise and the good narration of D.C.Newman.
My thanks to the rights holder who freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of Black Ice, at my request via Audiobook Boom. I had really expected to enjoy this dystopian tale, but unfortunately did not and was glad when it finished.
As I said earlier, perhaps this was because I came late to the story. But I think probably it was a simple case of disliking the good guy.
Family first.
