Publisher's summary

All Jason wanted to do was live in peace with his new family. Unfortunately events wouldn’t allow him that luxury.

After the EMP attack Jason had gone off to the mountains, discovered a woman and her two daughters who needed help, and got himself adopted into the family. They had fought off marauding gangs to secure their safety, but a new threat now loomed on the horizon.

Hillsboro, the nearest city, is run by a tough criminal who has the town under his brutal control. He can’t allow Jason to be a rallying figure for those who oppose his rule. Jason and the farmers who stand with him represent an attractive, freer alternative to his dictatorial control.

In this sequel to After the Fall: Jason’s Tale, the story continues with Jason and his family reluctantly drawn into the struggle to free Hillsboro from the clutches of the gangster. Will he find the help he needs to combat a larger, more organized enemy?

If you enjoyed Jason’s Tale, you’ll want to listen to this rich narrative of the continuing efforts to restructure society after an EMP attack cripples the US.

This is a big post-apocalyptic story with many interesting characters both main and support. It continues the saga of Jason Richards and his family as they battle the corrupt leadership in the city. There are some strong female characters in the story. A versatile voice will work best to encompass all the varied scenes.

Good effort building on good characters

Series books tend to be a problem for me, but not this one. I have enjoyed this series so far. I have always believed that the normal state of man is free and that men cannot be enslaved for long. That theme plays itself out nicely in this thriller. Once again Jason, Anne, Catherine, and Kevin face seemingly insurmountable odds to take Hillsboro back. The book quickly gets into the minds of the bad guys, and they are not nearly as on dimensional in this book. This was a joy to listen to. I really liked the narrator in the series.

Not bad

A little cheesy at times but not a bad listen. Held my attention throughout. Feasible story and equal parts action rebuilding of a community. Will continue to purchase the series.

Both Book 1 and 2 read well

Both book 1 and 2 were a good story with many similar issues as Holding Their Own and One Second After - generally a good read with a few inconsistencies. This was my first experience with this author and it made me hungry for some if his other works. characters were well developed and story consumed my two hours of drive time each day and wanting more.

Great Series

This is actually my second time listening to the first two books in this series. Book one was my favorite, Jason’s Tale, but I also liked the characters of Lorie Sue and Donna and the fact that Billy found love in the second book. I did like the first narrator better but if I had not heard him first I wouldn’t have know. Any different and the second narrator was good as well. If you love this genre, this series offers a look into the happiness that can be found in even the most dire situations. The parts about Jason’s family were my favorite.

great story

action packed with a great story.
i will listen to this again.
great book.

Such a bad Southern accent

Besides the really, in my opinion, bad narration there were a few "facts" that changed from book 1 to 2.

Poor narration.

I loved After the Fall but I couldn’t stand this narration. I stopped after 1 hour and won’t finish the book.
