A mutating plague is spreading. It's killing two of every three people on Earth. And Mike Crenshaw is totally unprepared. From the world of The Traveler Series comes a new cast of characters, new obstacles, and the same devastating, world-altering virus which plunges society into the depth of a dystopian hell. Unprepared begins in the hours before The Scourge takes hold. As if ripped from today's headlines, governments react too slowly and the disease spreads too fast. Quarantines don't work. Infrastructure fails. People die.

As a prepper, Grayson Rowan was prepared for almost anything...anything other than being totally alone when the sh*t hits the fan. While he sat back and watched the US rattle swords with Korea, play chicken with Russia, and strong-arm China, he felt sure if the lights went out that he and his family would be ready and safe. What he wasn't prepared for was his family not being home if it ever happened. Olivia Rowan is with her sisters, Gabby and Emma, on a girls-only trip to Myrtle Beach. Graysie Rowan, a freshman at university, just wants to go home.

It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

Lauren Russell often wondered why her father had been so adamant about teaching her skills that most other fathers wouldn't even consider teaching their daughters. Ever since she was little, she had been taught how to live and survive outdoors, and how to use firearms to protect herself and those around her. Some of the training had been a bit extreme. Or had it been? Many of her questions were answered the day the world as she knew it ended.

Summary
A FAMILY VACATION. AN EXPLOSIVE DISASTER. A DESPERATE STRUGGLE TO GET HOME.
Pilgrimage is a stand-alone post-apocalyptic story of survival. It was previously published as three separate novellas: Crossing, Refuge, and Advent.
High School teacher James Rockwell is vacationing in Maine with his family, when an earth-changing explosion sends them on a race for their lives. Their first step is escaping an island in the midst of a tsunami, and it only gets more dangerous from there.
Can they find their way home as civilization crumbles around them? And if they do, what horrors will they find?
It's a bullet-train of a thriller riding on the edge of the rails to the last page.

YESSSS!
Great book - love the genre - and narrated by one of my favorites, Kevin Pierce. It was originally published in three smaller parts, but this is all 3 together in one comprehensive story.
I am obsessed with post-apocalyptic survival stories lately, and this one is awesome! I was on the edge of my seat (in my car, mostly, which is no easy feat! lol) the entire time, really enjoyed listening, made my looooong commute a ton of fun.
I'm not familiar with Maine, but I'd love to see it someday (assuming we all survive! hahahah), loved hearing about the area.
Great characters, well written, and great to listen to. Great job!

A solid post apocalypse story
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I picked this book up because I've enjoyed many of Kevin Pierce's other books. As a narrator, he's very engaging and fun to listen to. The story is your typical post apocalypse survival plot. It wasn't anything new or unique but it is well executed. All in all, the characters were interesting and you cared about them. Worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre.

Decent Post-Apocalyptic
I totally enjoyed listening to this book as enjoyed the characters especially James a physic teacher, Leigh, Max and Sloane. They struggled to survive a tsunami while on vacation and meet up with veterinarian Steve who helps to save James. They meet obstacles while trying to get home running into good guys and bad guys. When they finally get home their house has been taken over. What would you do to save your loved ones? I also recommend the author’s Travelers and the Alt Apocalypse series. Recommend to anyone who likes post-apocalyptic/dystopian with good narration. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

A Collection Of Three Stories That Read Like One
4.5 out of 5 stars
Originally published as three novellas partially based (set in the same world) as Steven Konkoly’s Perseid Collapse series – Pilgrimage (which I can’t spell to save my life) takes a normal family and throws them into extraordinary situations. Will they survive or will they perish? Will this new world be too much for them?
Coined as the everyday family surviving type of a book – I wasn’t sure where Abrahams was going to go with it (but if you’re familiar with me, you know that I love his work). Pilgrimage starts in Maine (one of my all time favorite places and we meet a family who is out on vacation trying to relax a bit from their crazy lives (and getting over a death from the pandemic also based on a Konkoly story). We meet the Rockwell family and are introduced to the father a high school teacher.
James Rockwell (Rock) was one of those unforgettable types of characters. He’s not quite to the level of Marcus Battle but was memorable in different ways. The high school teacher was a nice touch – he was able to talk about science and some of the what was happening more than the average post-apocalyptic character can (and I enjoyed that thoroughly).
They are very quickly thrown into the muck when things on their remote island start to go off the rails. They are forced to survive by any means necessary and find out more about themselves and each other as things get harder and harder. I loved watching the family get by and the interaction between the kids, wife, and Rock. It was interesting to see them concerned for each other but also to play off each other’s strengths.
I can’t go much more into what this family endured, but the ending (and last third of the book or so) was a total roller coaster of emotions and action. I wasn’t sure just what was going to happen. I want to quote the ending but it would give too much away.
The changing from book to book wasn’t as harsh as I was expecting it to be and they really worked well together. Couple that together with Pierce’s narration and you have another wonderfully written and performed post-apocalyptic books. I requested a copy of this audiobook and it has not affected my review in any way.

Seal Team Rock!
I was able to purchase the combined novel Pilgrimage through Audible, which includes all three novellas of the trilogy; Crossing, Refuge, and Advent. Unfortunately Goodreads does not retain Pilgrimage, but does carry the three novellas. Pilgrimage is a story of survival and perseverance. James Rockwell’s vacation with his family on a little island off the coast of Maine is interrupted by a large explosion over the water. Putting two plus two together, as any red-blooded physics teacher would do, James assumed a tsunami was on the way. Bailing out of that situation we follow James and family as they are determined to get home to Maryland. In Refuge they stop at a friendly ranch to recuperate and wind up in a firefight. Advent finds the family making the last stretch across military controlled zones. The characters are well developed and likable. The story is quite believable and kept a good pace with periodic action. Kevin Pierce is amazing as usual.

Did Tom Abrahams write this?
I have loved everything Tom Abrahams has written. Pilgrimage is included. I also love Steven Konkoly's series: THE PERSEID COLLAPSE. I received the Audible version of Pilgrimage, so I listened to Tom's introduction. In that introduction is the direct relationship with Mr. Konkoly. I also really like the narrator, Kevin Pierce. I highly recommend this excellent example of the genre, and I place it on my top shelf of Post-Apocalyptic survival stories. Now for the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

To survive, decide
Great survival book. James, the main character, had only minutes or hours in different situations to react to save himself and his family. He took immediate, decisive action to save his family from the tsunami, 3 would-be kidnappers, vicious meth squatters, and other situations.
Appreciated the characterization of Vincent, one of the bad guys. He was just a guy that had potential to make something of his life, but got in with a bad crowd and chose a loose woman who did not have his back. Not all bad guys are evil, murdering, raping scum, but just people, like Vincent, who make bad decisions and have bad association, which leads to their downfall.
Narrator AWESOME! Loved his bullet sound effects.
After the story ends, the author tells about his upcoming books about surviving different scenarios. Looking forward to them all except the zombie one, which I will skip.
I recommend this book and am planning to listen to it several more times.
