    About this audiobook

    This time, an EMP is only the first strike?

    With a credible threat to the United States and a plane stuck on the tarmac, Grant Walton is thirty seconds from full-blown panic mode. He's the only one in the airport who knows the truth. When the power goes out, he can't waste another second. It's the beginning of the end and every man for himself.

    A nuclear attack will rip the country apart.

    Leah Walton is wrapping up a twelve-hour shift as a nurse in the heart of the city. When the power goes out, the hospital operates on crisis mode. She can't stop to breathe, let alone check her messages. When she finally listens to her husband's frantic calls, she's faced with an impossible choice: leave or die trying.

    Could you drop everything to save yourself?

    Grant and Leah race the clock to find each other before the United States is plunged into chaos. When the bombs fall, their worst fears come true. Can Grant make it home in time to find his wife? Will Leah escape the brunt of the blast?

    The EMP is only the beginning.

    Brace for Impact is book one in Nuclear Survival: Southern Grit, a post-apocalyptic thriller series following ordinary people struggling to survive after a nuclear attack plunges the nation into chaos.

      Rather annoying characters who seem to think that the world will pretty much carry on the same post nuclear Armageddon. Hopefully the second book will be better.

      Note the rating I give Brace For Impact it's based on my own personal gauge of post-apocalyptic fiction. I find sadly the great majority of this genre to be pretty thin at best. This is nowhere near as good as I would wish apocalyptic fiction could be. But I should shut up and learn how to write myself if I'm not satisfied. Right?Anyway I appreciate that this author didn't create a particularly wicked psychopath or psychopaths as dramatic foils. I'm also reviewing this before I look to see if there's any others by the same author that are part of a series. There are an awful lot of dangling narratives in this book. Indeed at least three pretty significant characters early on in the book just get dropped as the great bulk of the story shifts to the East Coast exclusively. So it is not nearly as satisfying as I would like it to be if it is to be unto itself. But I'm expecting if I do a little digging this is just the beginning of this authors post-apocalyptic series. I like to listen to these kind of stories when doing repetitive work with my hands that isn't very challenging And this one sufficed quite nicely. So the four stars are mostly in gratitude for not being terrible and not creating ridiculous psychopaths and describing the horrible things they do.
      Yes psychopaths do exist and times of turmoil where the social fabric is fraying will likely be times when they will be more open about their agendas. But there's far more people who understand the wisdom of mutual aid and our guided by that ethic whom populate our planet.
      Would that we had much more expiration of that phenomena in this genre.

      I truly enjoyed this story by an author who has become one of my favorites. I would highly recommend it.
