About this listen

Life in the frozen wastelands of Texas is anything but easy, but for Clay Whitaker there is always more at stake than mere survival.

It's been seven years since the ash billowed into the atmosphere, triggering some of the harshest winters in recorded history. Populations are thinning. Food is scarce. Despair overwhelming. With no way to sustain order, societies collapsed, leaving people to fend for themselves.

Clay and his sister Megan have taken a handful of orphaned children into their home - a home soaring 16 stories into the sky. With roughly six short months a year to gather enough food and supplies to last the long, brutal winter, Clay must spend most of his time away from his family to scavenge, hunt, and barter.

When Clay rescues a young woman named Kelsey from a group of Screamers, his life is catapulted into a new direction, forcing him to make decisions he never thought he would have to make.

Now, with winter rolling in earlier than ever, Clay's divided attention is putting him, and his family, at risk.

Good story but not a massive fan of the narrator

Good characters in this story, though I did just finish listening to Sarah Fleming’s series so I found it hard to love these characters as much as the ones that Fleming writes.

I liked the narrator’s voice for the main character - Clayton but I loathed all the other voices he does. The women all sound like whinging children and Jake Watson’s accent is really aggravating.

I also like stories that explain more about how things happen, where as this author skips most of the details of the way the world has collapsed.
