About this listen

Chris's life of luxury is gone, devastated by the collapse of the European economy. Huddled in a small room with his petrified ten-year-old son, Chris made the decision to stay in his lavish and once cherished home. Gas, water, and electricity are all cut off; his wife and daughter have gone, and food is running out.

Driven by the need to survive, Chris has decided to keep secrets from his son. Secrets that will make everything else up until this point seem trivial. Secrets that—one way or another will come out before the day is done.

Cowering in his home, he watches as his neighbors are dragged into the street and brutally executed by a small army of psychotic scavengers hell-bent on making the formerly privileged pay. As they methodically purge each home, Chris realizes that staying was the worst decision of his life. Secrets or not, he has to act fast; the murderous pack only has one more house before they reach his…

Any additional comments?

This is an incredibly visceral and very disturbing story showing humanity at it's very worst. The story is set shortly after a fairly trivial slow collapse of society due to global financial reasons.
The bad guy is almost cartoonishly deranged and vile, yet his character cuts very close to the bone. If civilisation collapses and consequences are removed, this type of sick personality will emerge very quickly.
The flashbacks to pre-collapse times give no respite, the utterly failed work and family life of the main character are just as painfully horridly realistic.

Michael Robertson gives a visceral painful look at what humans are capable of if there are no consequences, and he doesn't let you look away for a second.
Highly recommended!

Perhaps the most brutal shocking book ever read as an adult.
Akin to reading Stephen King or James Herbert for the first time in my teens.
Strangely compelling, impossible to stop.

Chilling. Not for the faint hearted

music between chapters made it sound cheap and tacky. reader made the book sound eerie. story moved so slowly it irritated me. was more like a monologue than a story. bit too much gore. lacked action. didn't have me on the edge of my seat. had me bored in fact. won't read 2nd book.

moved very slowly. not a book I'd recommend

listening to this it sounds like the death knell of the EU and the UK, this could be all so real if the government, MP's and the courts went against the people and refused to act on BREXIT, the feeling is higher now then when the vote was taken, this should be a warning to all.

A possible conclusion

It's a good story although it's quite depressing to follow the no hope situation sofar
