Story
The North Koreans launch a surprise Nuclear EMP attack on the USA. Our hero, Joe doesn't care about politics or what happened, he just knows his world went to Hell. Planes fell out of the sky, people went nuts looting and killing as he scrambled to hide from all of the craziness. Joe had a cabin and land in Southern Oregon when TSHTF and retreated to the cabin to survive the massive die-off that was always predicted for an apocalypse. The weeks before the Grid went down weren't much better for Joe because his best friend, his fiancé, and his beloved Grandma all died before lights out.

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.

The Alt Apocalypse is the ground-breaking, genre-bending series from Tom Abrahams. It explores survival under the most extreme circumstances, but with a twist (and no cliff-hangers). This series, which can be listened to in any order, features the same core characters in each complete story. But every book dunks them into a new, alternate apocalypse; a nuclear holocaust, an earthquake, a flood, a wildfire, a hurricane, a plague, and even zombies.

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.

As far as the east is from the west...
Marcus Battle is tired of the world. And he's certain the world is tired of him.
But when an old friend needs his help, he steps back into the violence and corruption he's fought for so long to avoid.
A decade after he disappeared north of the wall that separated his Texas from the rest of what used to be his country, an oppressive government threatens the only people alive for whom he cares and who care about him.
He'll sacrifice everything to keep them safe, and he'll travel one more time to places no man should have to go.

Great series
I'd like to thank Tom Abrahams for writing a captivating group of series and books. They have helped me get through a difficult year caring for my dying parents. The books are just fun and entertaining to listen to. The performance was spot on. The audibly books allowed me to overcome points of utter boredom and frustration. I will recommend you work to my friends.

“One is a blessing. Two is a curse.”
Marcus Battle is back for the 7th book in the Traveler series – and this one is the finale (part one). And what a part it was. Long-time readers of the series will be thrilled that Lou is back in this book – along with some other familiar faces.
We’re also introduced to a completely new world post-Scourge and post-Wall. Abrahams introduces us to the Population Guard. A government force that assures that the population “doesn’t get out of hand” by enforcing a one-child limit to every family (including a fantastic quote from the book “One is a blessing. Two is a curse.“)
Now, this new plot point deserves a lot of extra focus here because of the final two books in this series (this one, Hero, and the final book Harbor). We’re also introduced to the new underground railroad. This time is to smuggle families with multiple kids to a safe place (I won’t fully ruin the plot points around this here, but know that it’s easily one of the most interesting plot points this deep into a series I’ve read in quite some time).
Hero itself is such a bittersweet book. I know that the Traveler and with it Battle are coming to an end and I’m meeting that with both happiness and sadness. There are scenes in this book that tore me up. A specific scene with Lou’s son’s drawing really got to me. (Trying not to spoil anything, just be prepared to be angry at the ninjas chopping onions).
I also respect that Abrahams can poke fun at himself and his novels while inside of one of his novels. This back and forth got me a bit:
““Sounds like some dude in a dime-store novel, doesn’t it?” Marcus joked. “Like some pulp fiction writer made up some unkillable soldier type, dunked him into one horrible situation after another, and the dude survives against all odds. Like the trials of Job but worse. Makes you wonder what hell I’ve got in front of me.””
Overall, I obviously loved Hero. It had everything I wanted and it really sets the stage for what is going to be a fantastic finish. I feel like I’m in Abrahams’ head a bit and I have a feeling that we’re all going to be satisfied with how that book ends.
Just be warned – this is kind of a “part 1” to the finale of the book, so it kind of abruptly ends (setting things up for book 8 in a few weeks). I can’t wait to see where Battle and Lou take us, but I know it’s going to be good. I could go on about this book for a long time but if you’ve read the books leading up to this, you’ll enjoy this one a lot.

Outstanding
Have you listened to a book where the story drags and drags before the excitement begins? It won't be this one. The story hits the ground running. If you read the first 6 books you already have a good feel for the characters and almost intuitively know what they will or won't do in particular situations and they do not disappoint. As usual and as expected, Kevin Pierce's narration is outstanding.

Already Mourning the End of This Series...
Tom Abrahams is one of the most prolific, brilliant writers in the PA fiction world. His books are absolutely vivid and the characters so rich the reader feels like they know them. Hero finds Marcus Battle an older man now, living in Virginia, with Lou (the woman who was a teen in the last book) all grown up. She's in serious peril now. And the only one who can save her, and her children, is Marcus Battle. And Battle will not disappoint. Abrahams never uses profanity in his writing, which serves more as cheap thriller than anything else.
How many things can one say about narrator Kevin Pierce? He's as brilliant as Tom Abrahams. And they compliment each other perfectly. He's the voice of the apocalypse. His voice is steady as a rock, but the emotion of the story reverberates in his pronunciations. I could listen to him read the phone book, tax codes, a medical dictionary, anything. He's that good. It just doesn't get better. Now if it only didn't have to end.

The previous books were captivating and suspenseful, this book too much time had expired and to many changes took place to be interesting from the start. It started no where and finished no where, I’ll still listen to the rest but this book was by far not my favorite. Still love the author and reader
