About this listen

It's the end of oil. We knew it was coming one day. But it happened so fast!

Devlin Quinn turns 16 the same week that a battle in a distant war shuts off the flow of imported petroleum to the US.

Gas runs low, then runs out, and soon the highways are empty.

And then it gets very serious. The grocery store shelves are empty, and people become desperate for food.

Dev is trained to fight-his father made sure of that-but is he trained enough? Smart enough? Tough enough? He is about to find out when people desperate for food flee the burning cities and attack....

I liked this a lot,
A great story as always from a good writer who builds characters well, you get invested in their future. Yes I enjoy a good disaster story and this delivers, we should all ask ourselves not what would we do in the same situation but how would we react, the moral question is posed a number of times and gets you thinking. Lou Cadle is fast becoming my favorite author and Cody Roberts as the narrator puts just enough life to each voice without being over dramatical
I have listened to all three books and will put the same review on each as I have enjoyed each of them equally.

fun ride

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It took me a long time to get into this book, and although I have listened to Gray many times I doubt I will be listening to this again any time soon as I was not keen on the narrator.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Slashed?

Without spoiling the story I think about a third of the way through the book it got better and the storyline faster.

Would you be willing to try another one of Cody Roberts’s performances?

no I did not like his style of reading.

Any additional comments?

I like Lou Cadles Gray and thought I would like this too but I was not keen, but I think that might have been down to the narrator.

not as good as Gray

I had to speed this up to be able to listen to this narrator. His voice is very slow and methodical. The actual story is really good though with excellent characterisation and plot.
