About this listen

Five-books-in-one complete box set! From the USA Today best-selling author, Amazon all-star award winner, and top 10 sci-fi writer of The Last War, Dark Days of the After, These Times of Abandon, and Population Zero comes a high-concept, adrenaline-fueled post-apocalyptic survival thriller like no other....

If the grid goes down and all hell breaks loose, will you have what it takes to survive?

A family breaking apart, a missing girl, the worst attack in American history…

.…how do you survive the collapse when you have already hit rock bottom?

When a sudden, unexplained spasm of violence rocks the country from coast to coast, several groups of survivors are left to wonder if this is the start of a new world war, or the last chapter of humanity itself.

Are humans in their final days?

The EMP has officially crippled the nation and her infrastructure sits in ruin. Can a burned-out DEA agent, a Guatemalan-born cartel daughter, and an estranged brother find their way back to their families, or will they succumb to the perils of a nation in steep decline?

Also available individually in paperback and Kindle editions.

The Complete Age of Embers is a no-holds-barred post-apocalyptic adventure series chronicling a nationwide descent into a powerless world. Although this series is written in the Last War universe, and characters from each series overlap, the two sagas can be enjoyed independent of each other.

The Complete Age of Embers Series:

  • The Age of Embers
  • The Age of Hysteria
  • The Age of Reprisal
  • The Age of Exodus
  • The Age of Defiance

Note: This series contains the kind of strong violence and adult situations you would expect in an end-times event. Listener discretion advised.

Now scroll up, grab yourself a copy of the box set, and settle in for one heck of a ride through the apocalypse!

Interesting plot and characters

Not much to dislike in this production. Kept me interested right to the end. Well developed characters made it more realistic .

Started strong but disappointed in the end

The first half of this series had me mesmerised. "Masterpiece" is a word that was floating around my head at one stage, but then everything changed. These beautifully formed, rich and fascinating characters that I had begun to love started making idiotic decisions (how many times are you going to be surprised in the middle of the night by bad guys before your realise the importance of nighttime security?).
This leads to maddening, seemingly-implausible and unnecessary, and very unsatisfying storylines (the road trip was ridiculous, and what led up to it was equally ridiculous because the main characters all WOULD have known better).
The ending really seemed like all the good ideas for the series were used up in the first couple books. I've never experienced a series that has me so intrigued and then so disappointed. This really could've been the masterpiece I thought it was going to be.
What a shame.
