Audible Reviews

★★★★★ Thrilling, Brutal, Awesome, and completely unique.

How do I even begin? I don't think a book has taken me quite on such an emotional and nail-biting journey in a while. I love the way the multiple timelines are woven together seamlessly. The book brings so many questions to my mind about humanity, right and wrong, and living with future generations in mind. I can't wait to discuss with other readers some of the 'what if's and 'what would you do's.

I also can't wait to get more great content from the author!

★★★★★ One of the Best Apocalyptic Novels I've Read

E. T. Gunnarsson does a magnificent job with this novel. He does an amazing job of taking the reader to what it would quite probably be like if humans don't get their pollution in check. The characters are colorful and well-formed. Throughout the story, you grow to love some only to end up hating them. He gives us times of satisfaction but not much joy until the end. It's a telling of three related stories and he keeps them going perfectly. the ending does a magnificent job of bringing it all together.

I really enjoyed the reading by Craig Bowles.
