Publisher's summary

The news is full of disturbing events today. There's war and rumors of war. There's the false recovery of the economy. Faith in the US economy is extremely low. Foreign banks have either slowed their purchases of Treasury Bonds or, in a few cases, begun unloading them. We have a current election that is rife with corruption, extreme partisanship, and outright fraud. It would appear the left in the country is ready to do about anything to see their candidate elected. While this is very concerning today, what does it mean to the election process as a whole? What will the next one look like? Does anyone believe they will actually improve? Or will the next batters up to the ultimate home plate simply make it even worse, take it even further down the rabbit hole?

In reality, it matters not who wins. They can be there for only eight years. But the election sets the precedent for the next one, and the next one will push the limits even further, if there is one.

We've all heard of the spooky bank holiday. This sort of thing usually happens on a weekend, and on Monday morning you simply cannot access your account. You have no access to your money. Don't think it can happen? Neither did the people of Greece. Or Germany when they were limited to 50 euros a day. What would you do? Do you keep cash on hand? Do you trust your bank? If you put $20,000 into the bank and then ask for $10,000 back, you have to fill out forms and justify your need for it. Then they tell the government about it, and you face further sanctions. Here in America, we think we're free. Well, we are currently listed as number 20 on the scale of freedom. Think about that. Number 20! Chile is ahead of us! But we have our guns, and all of those other countries don't. And indeed we do, for now. But what if they were to take those away? What do we do then? And before you say you would take to the streets and fight back, think for a minute what that really means. Then watch a few videos on Syria or Ukraine. It's all fun and games until someone puts a tank main-gun round through your house. What follows is just one idea of what this could look like. I'm not saying this is the way it would go. It's just some thoughts on it. On how people could act. What the government may do in response and how people might respond in turn.

Great new saga!

I have listened to all of the survivor series by this author and narrator. It took a bit to get into this book and get on board with the direction it was going. This is a different view on the collapse of our nation but just as with the "Home" series it is a viable and surreal tale of what our reality could easily become. Love the narrator- I hope Duke Fontaine continues to represent this author's voice.

Too much nonsense!

Just once I’d like to read a dystopian novel without having to suffer through another author’s political nonsense.

Give me a reason to care about these people.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The main character, Daniel, seemed to be the least developed of an entire group of underdeveloped characters. Had I been part of this group, I would have left out of sheer boredom.

What could A. American have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Character development, likable and/or interesting characters, and a more compelling story.

Which character – as performed by Duke Fontaine – was your favorite?

Gene, I suppose, as he was the most skillful of the group.

Do you think Cry Havoc needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, I don't see this one going anywhere. I hope he doesn't try to make a series out of it. It just feels like the author was trying to make a book out of a story that just wasn't there.

Any additional comments?

I read most of the Going Home series, and most of those books were better than this one. If I had to buy it again, I wouldn't.

Creative EOTWAWKI

I quit writing reviews on EOTWAWKI books... got tired of saying negative things. That said the narration and audio was rough... but it was a clever and creative situation with a fresh perspective and interesting mix of characters. I enjoyed it. There is obviously a second book coming... but it wasn't an annoying cliff hanger and was long enough that I didn't feel cheated out of a credit. Nice work Mr. AA. I also really enjoyed The Dog Star and Sunfall recently, so there have been some better offerings in the EOTWAWKI library.

Right-wing pundit gets it all wrong

The prelude offers crazy claims about Obama using federal agencies to punish conservatives, and posits a left-wing conspiracy to achieve full power. Discusses the "Clinton administration" continuing this effort. This screed might be an interesting way to look inside the minds of a certain type of conspiracy theorist, but if he gets so much wrong so early on, could you really trust the author to be accurate about anything at all?

Written under a pen name, because nobody would want to have their name associated with this.

This book is actually more depressing than the dystopian theme. The author chronicles The constant making of coffee, more than characters. A depressing road trip story, removed from reality and far from literature. The style of prose is incredibly weak, the dialogue is tedious and descriptions are slim. It's like a novel written with no art, no feeling. It reads like an Excel spreadsheet.

Finally A New Storyline

A. American has created a believable, fresh, storyline! This is a story that is creative and realistic. Without giving the story away, this story takes the listener down a new path. This is not just another cookie cutter story with the names and places changed. I think this story will appeal to a wider group of listeners too. The narrator did a great job of keeping your interest and the development of each character. Well worth the credit! Looking forward to more stories like this!

should I buy a gun or masterbate?

by far the biggest POS book I have listed to so far. I would write a more detailed review but I have already waited too much time on this tragic excuse for a book.

in short the book is about 4 nitwits, all white, who have come together at a time of crisis in a Hillary Clinton post- apocalyptic world. They now have to make it cross country and at every turn just happen to have what they need to get past whatever stand in their way. TX is the land of salvation... of course. The Feds are the bad guys... of course. No one on the 'good' side die... of course.

Throw in some half engaged moments of strife and you have this book.

if you thought this book was anything more than a D- you really should read more books with substance.

I am now going to the gun show so I can ejulacte my manlyness over some dreamed about toys.
