If society collapsed, could you survive?
When Morgan Carter's car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: the country's power grid has collapsed.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
It’s been a long hard ride for Morgan and everyone. Just when things were starting to look up, the park was attacked, and they lost Bobbie. Danny’s physical wounds were nothing like the emotional loss of Bobbie. It was hard on Mel as well, and the rest of the group also felt the loss. With the attacks on the community becoming a greater threat, they must be dealt with. These attacks must end. But what can the group do against an army with artillery?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
Cal's "honeymoon" didn't start off quite how he'd planned. For starters, he was heading somewhere he didn't actually want to go. And secondly, he was going alone and unmarried. He had no idea that his first visit to New York City would also land him in the middle of a domestic terror attack, forcing him to flee Manhattan in a desperate bid to survive. This was no ordinary terror attack. The Movement, in a misguided attempt to seize political control of the USA, unwittingly invited the destruction of their homeland.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 405
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

Five years ago, the US Space Force became a reality. And while those writing the checks took things very seriously, the other military branches did not. As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables: men and women who made too many mistakes, didn't follow the rules, or...slept with the wrong general's daughter. Three times. On camera. It was a mistake, okay? My name is Captain Ethan Stone, a decorated member of SEAL Team Six turned Space Force "recruit".

Review on the whole series so far 1-5
I have just finished book 5 in the series and thought I would write a review on the whole series (so far) as I loved all of them the same.
So if you've read the synopsis you'll now that Morgan was on his way home to his wife and 3 kids when.... the power goes out, an EMP maybe? and plunges the world back into the stone age. Now you might be thinking that there is a couple of other books on the same line and a successful TV show.
However what makes this different?
Morgans story and the situations that he finds himself in with people that are trying to survive. I continually thought "yeah, that is what would happen, thats how people would act in that situation" it is brilliantly thought through. The characters are fantastic as well all with very different backstories which really makes you care about what happens to them.
But the stand out thing is the narration by Duke Fontaine it is fantastic it probably the best I've heard, he puts constant voices on all the characters so you know every time who is talking but is still clear to understand.
The only thing I would have liked is an explanation to why Morgan prepared the way he did, it sort of does near the end of the series, its only a small thing but it bug me a little.
If you like excellent narration, brilliant characters and a believable story (with a little hollywood drama chucked in) give this a go.

surviving home. an awesome series.
I'm loving this series. book 1 was really good book 2 was the same. the characters are really memorable and grow on you as they grow. from the big bear of a man thaddeus to the mean but comical sarge and the lovely little bit to her tough protective father. the story line just gets better and better as you find yourself hanging on every word unwilling to but the book down until you've heard the next part and then the next. a fantastic change from my usual reading of zombie apocalypse books. I really am looking forward to starting the next in series.
all in all a great readable movie, recommended to any lover of the end of times genre.

He made it home... now what?
This is a view at what happens in a neighborhood when some have and some don't. You see this type of setup in books like "Jakarta Pandemic" and "Cyber Storm" (books I enjoyed) and "The End" (didn't). This is not a stand alone book... although you can stop reading after book one, you must read book one to understand this and you will be left falling off a cliff needing to read book three afterwards... and then waiting impatiently for June 2014 to read four. I almost wished I had stopped at one and waited for four to be ready before making the plunge.
The writing style is still very basic, the narrator instead of getting better gets worse (goes from one set of characters to the next without a breath or pause, leaving a person confused at where the heck he is... plus blatant mispronunciations which he finally gets corrected (but they didn't go back and edit). The plot continues to be brilliant and original, with less named brand supplies and more military involvement.
There is strong language peppered though it, lots of gun violence, minor sexual innuendos and lots of hungry, beaten down folks and others who take advantage of them. The characters become even more real in this book and you follow not only Morgan and his family, but the friends he made in "Going Home."

Great sequel
Book 2 of the Surviving Home series continues the story line. The author keeps the story moving, provides a lot of information in addition to the story, and makes me look forward to more. The narration is good, too.

Great story
What made the experience of listening to Surviving Home the most enjoyable?
The story was good, but the performance was not so good.
What did you like best about this story?
Good story line.
What three words best describe Duke Fontaine’s performance?
stunted. The editing of this novel left a lot to be desired. For example, there were no gaps between changes in the characters. One second the narrator is talking about Sarge, and the very next second, the scene has shifted to an entirely different set of characters. I had to back up the book several times to get my mind to shift to the different set of characters.

You'll enjoy this book and learn a bunch at the same time.
The series is awesome and I'm looking forward to more.
It's pretty much a prepper book and story but if you don't have a clue it'd be a good idea to get this book series and listen to them you'll do well.
Enjoy either way.

Average at Best
Would you try another book from A. American and/or Duke Fontaine?
It's hard for me to understand why so many people are in love with this series. It is painfully average. It doesn't completely suck, but that's what I mean by average.It's the same ole, same ole. EMP. Survivalists and bad guys, predictable events and expendable characters are plentiful. It's okay for the first book, but after listening to two of them, it's basically the same thing playing in a loop.I quit listening after this one. There was a cool idea, but they focused on too much drivel and not enough of the interesting plot points.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Probably SHTF, but I have no idea if it will be good or not yet.
What three words best describe Duke Fontaine’s voice?
It's okay, but I have heard a lot of better narrators. Maybe all of them have been better. This guy cannot even complete some sentences without taking a breath.
What character would you cut from Surviving Home?
Multiple characters.
Any additional comments?
This book does not completely suck. It is the definition of average. If you love this, check around and try a few others. There is lots of content out there that runs circles around this.

Written by a Man for a Man!
I skipped the first book and read this one since it had the best reviews. The main character is Morgan who lives in a small Florida town dealing with the collapse of the nations power grid.
This is your typical Preppers story. The storyline is there but it tends to bounce around and with a lot going on it made it hard to keep up. It was suspenseful but some parts dragged on a bit then ended quickly. I now understand abridge books.
Had they had a different narrator I think I would of enjoyed it more. There were no pauses between changes in the story and since it bounced around so much it was easy to get lost (a lot of hitting the rewind button).
I might read book 3 to see what's next but only if I can't find anything better. Try - Alas Babylon or The Road, two great books.

I don't want to give too much away
So he's gotten home, and now things are getting a bit hairy, now what?
A. American does a great job getting you into the story, and keeping you there. It's not like your an outsider, listening to a story, you're there and watching it; you're going to start to try and "think in front of the story", asking yourself "what about this?", "how would I react?", "People are really going to act this way".
Looking forward to book 4.

I am still right there with this story
this is not the best written story out there, this author presents this story like it is a first draft, and it is still great. If you are into the prepper world and feel that the current government is to intrusive, you will love this book, it is overall a great story from the first book and continues into this second story as well. The author is way into the tech of prepping, as are a lot of preppers, so for that audience it is great. If you are not a prepper then this book will outline at least one scenario for your fate, and it is that of the silly little totalitarian who thinks that "resource sharing" is now the current plan since you were to busy laughing at those who were diligent and put resources into the rainy day fund. This is a fun book and it brings to focus all the big gov plans for those who are content with watching T.V. and hitting the pipe, hey, if you like your current lifestyle you can keep your current lifestyle - what ever!
Highly recommended

Riveting!
I found myself literally staying up all night, just to find out what happens next in Book 1... Only to download the this one immediately after. Finished this one too, and now plan to download the 3rd when I'm done with this review. Gripping... Makes you think a bit too...
Highly recommended.
