Now reunited with his loving wife and daughters in this follow-up to Going Home, Morgan knows that their happiness is fleeting, as the worst is yet to come. Though for years Morgan has been diligently preparing for emergency situations, many of his neighbors are completely unready for life in this strange new world - and they're starting to get restless.

With the help of his closest companions, Morgan fights to keeps his home secure - only to discover shocking information about the state of the nation in the process.

surviving home. an awesome series.

I'm loving this series. book 1 was really good book 2 was the same. the characters are really memorable and grow on you as they grow. from the big bear of a man thaddeus to the mean but comical sarge and the lovely little bit to her tough protective father. the story line just gets better and better as you find yourself hanging on every word unwilling to but the book down until you've heard the next part and then the next. a fantastic change from my usual reading of zombie apocalypse books. I really am looking forward to starting the next in series.
all in all a great readable movie, recommended to any lover of the end of times genre.

Review on the whole series so far 1-5

I have just finished book 5 in the series and thought I would write a review on the whole series (so far) as I loved all of them the same.

So if you've read the synopsis you'll now that Morgan was on his way home to his wife and 3 kids when.... the power goes out, an EMP maybe? and plunges the world back into the stone age. Now you might be thinking that there is a couple of other books on the same line and a successful TV show.

However what makes this different?
Morgans story and the situations that he finds himself in with people that are trying to survive. I continually thought "yeah, that is what would happen, thats how people would act in that situation" it is brilliantly thought through. The characters are fantastic as well all with very different backstories which really makes you care about what happens to them.

But the stand out thing is the narration by Duke Fontaine it is fantastic it probably the best I've heard, he puts constant voices on all the characters so you know every time who is talking but is still clear to understand.

The only thing I would have liked is an explanation to why Morgan prepared the way he did, it sort of does near the end of the series, its only a small thing but it bug me a little.

If you like excellent narration, brilliant characters and a believable story (with a little hollywood drama chucked in) give this a go.

Paced well and believable

Hooked. Second novel done. Onto book 3. Fast paced and oddly addictive. Great look into a world I hope we never see. A sneak peak at a troubled world and how to survive it.

original and exciting

this was a new author I decided to try whilst waiting for Hopf 's next book. it was so good I have found a new favourite author. story was original and captivating and characters were great. Couldn't put the book down and I left the world for 19 mins as I searched to find more books by this author but also find the next in the trilogy to this one!
