A fun family vacation turns into an apocalyptic nightmare when a couple and their young son find themselves trapped in the Irish countryside during an international crisis. With all contact outside the country gone, all electricity and all non horse-powered vehicles useless and desperate bands of outlaws roaming the Emerald Isle, the time has come for one soft American family to reach deep within … within for the reserve of brains and courage to survive.

I didn’t like the way it ended
For all the current stories of this genre the fact it took place outside the United States held my interest.
Way too many catastrophies and not realistic. Not for me but I did finnish it
This is not a doom and gloom end of the world novel. It shows the resilient nature
of an ill-prepared family to survive in a world they know nothing about. It shows the evil as well as the good that makes up mankind.
One of the better books I have read on survival of the fittest…..
Looking for good writing, and though the author has written a lot of books, this one lacked. The plot was certainly intriguing, but I could only get through a chapter or two before I had to let it go. Rushed, maybe? Poor editing?
Great read – I couldn’t put it down. The plot is one that should give everyone nightmare’s as it could happen! Since this is the first in a three book series, I am anxious to get into Book #2!
I could not put it down. This is a series and I have ordered them all for Kindle. Great story line. Great characters. Love these books
Great book can’t wait to read book 2
Horrible ending
A simple premise, modern family on a much needed vacation in a foreign country, then the author takes you on a roller coaster ride about what could happen if the world as they’ve known it changes in an instant. Communications, transportation and daily life might never be the same. I found it thought provoking and had a difficult time putting it …
Although the vocabulary is pretty basic, it is an imaginative story and it held my attention well.
Different. Awake all night reading and then into the sequel. Lived it.
The family and their struggle become real. You hate to put it down. Loved it
I couldn’t put it down. Want to read next in series
Surprising subject.
Good story
Boring, didn’t finish
You left me hanging…….More, more, more. We find our true selves under pressure, good or bad. Wow Go forth and write more. Loved the book.
Just didn’t hold my interest. I got as far as the intro of the travelers..ie. gypsies.
