Download Your Copy Surviving The Fall (Surviving The Fall, #1) Penned By Mike Kraus Available In Audiobook

have the box set of this series I usually wait for the omnibus editions because I want to read it all without pauses for the next episode, which seems like a popular format, resembling comics, soaps and radio shows.


Number one is a great start and I do like the writing style except for using 'off of' should be just 'off' or 'from' thus making an awkward sentence and wrong grammatically and the phrase, 'me either' instead of 'me neither' the former is wrong.
There was also the lack of capitals where necessary, for example, 'Mum', when used as a name.
I can't help pointing out these annoying mistakes, especially when they spoil the flow of such good storytelling.


However, the two protagonists are instantly welldefined and engaging, The ugly mob is stereotypical yet true, as were the villains, demonstrating, to me, that humans probably don't deserve saving.


The reliance on technology at the expense of everything yes, a cautionary tale,

Recommended. Thoughtful and accurate of what our wor, d is coming too.

I enjoy this genre of writing, It keeps me focused on what our world outside my front door could be like in the near future.
Wow,
That was a good one,
I am rating here the whole box set,
Been reading it in one go but have to admit, I wouldnt have read the single releases.
I am not a fan of such concepts, I want a whole book

At times, i was wondering if it goes on like this, it takes Rick a lifetime to get back to his family.

It appeared very slow pacing at times and I would have preferred to read this “serial books” as a whole book instead of episodes and a little less descriptions of the surroundings would have come a long way.
Same goes with the story of the astronauts, I didnt see any relevance to the whole story and mostly skipped them.

But as i was able to skip the authors notes and the summarisation of the previous book which appeared as a preface chapter, it didnt make a negative impact.

The end was a bit rushed for all the slow pacing beforehand, I think there could have beenorchapters more,
It would have been nice touch for a foreigner to have a map of the country provided with all the different locations and main sites the story took place in.


All in all, very good!!! Short but possible

Different take on the possibilities.
Main characters a little bit ostrich, or right winged, Short story at best. Not long enough to be called book but enough excitement to keep your interest and some very good thoughts on preparedness.
Great first edition

Written frompoints of view this series features a "regular guy" scenario.
Imagine you just got off a plane on a business trip when the end of the world happens.
Well done and builds believable characters, Draws you in

I have to get more to find out who did it and how! Quite short stories so to get all is going to be quite expensive, hence the.
Would have been nice to get several or even all of the books in a bundle at a reduced rate Interesting premise.
Riveting start to the series, I am going to read on because it's highly rated, I am rating it abecause it is different, I dislike the main guy Rick, He is a prepper, military training and all that but doesn't carry himself that way, I feel the writer is trying to bake his cake and eat it too, . . He is giving the story more by having this guy have generators, solar power, farm, remote house, a wife on board with everything, gun training, feelings, and emotional conflict with having to do what needs to be done.
He should have just spun another character like a business partner in with Rick to add the emotional aspect.
Would have worked out better,

I definitely like Zombie fallout series much better so far, Great beginning to a new series!

Rick Waters is on a business trip a thousand miles away from home when the world changes in the blink of an eye.

Determined to get back home to Virginia where his wife and children waited, he gathers supplies and hits the road.

Good story so far, Rick was a tech guy living almost off the grid in virginia with his wife Linda and kids.
Rick went to California for a seminar, and something really crazy happened, so crazy it was national maybe even global.
I really CAN'T WAIT for the next book, This author can write!!! Theres some real terror in here, it seems what happened really could.
Do you think Mike might know something we dont HMM, I'm really looking foward to more, more of anything from the author everything until i've read all his work.
I loved, loved, loved it!! Get on your kindle and grab your book tell everyone that Kellie Harrington told you to buy it.
This is going to be one of those series when your done your going to sit there and think that couldn't of been it.
All's I've got to say is ALL HAIL MIKE KRAUS!!! This one was a lot slower than I thought it would be.
I enjoyed the idea behind it, just not the execution, Ive definitely read this before so Im confused as to why its not on my GR books.
. strange!
Anyway the first book in this series is good Ive just read it in one sitting as its not very long, Ive deffo read more than the first book in this series so Ill carry on again lol this series is on KU is worth a shot if you like this type of book and have KU A fresh new perspective for an apocalyptic series.
Closely follow a husband and a wife who are at other ends of the country when the world goes through a tremendous apocalyptic event.
The wife is home alone with their three children when the world goes haywire and her husband is on a business trip.


Hearing both perspectives as they battle through some extremely horrendous situations made it doubly exciting and riveting.


Just purchased the Omnibus option allbooks in a box set recently released Januaryon audible and now,
onward to! General Davies hears the disturbing news that a secret weapon system has been hacked and parts possibly stolen.
If this stolen weapon is used against the US, it would be a disaster of untold proportions.
Smart watches, cars and other technology are all interlinked in the modern world and all may be vulnerable to Damocles.
Time is running out to stop a disaster,

A week later, Rick has arrived at LA for an important meeting but as he exits the terminal, cars start going haywire and planes are dropping out of the sky.
Fires are starting everywhere and panicked people don't know what to do, Now he faces the impossible journey home on foot as the streets become a dangerous place to be.


Rick's wife Dianne is at home with her children and has just got out of the car when it explodes.
Now she has to find a way to look after her family as chaos breaks out, while wondering what has happened to her husband.


I do love this kind of disaster writing! I enjoy seeing the disaster unfold along with the characters, and following the fortunes of each family member as they face different challenges in the aftermath.
I like the difficult journeys home, the bad people that need to be evaded and what is happening on the home front so this was exactly what I was looking for.
It is tense and well written, and most importantly, the MCs are a normal family that you can't help rooting for.
There are enough tense situations to keep you reading and I wanted to know what was going to happen every time I turned the page.


I don't generally follow serial novels because of the expense and not knowing how many parts you'll be expected to buy but I don't mind trying the start of one if it is free.
In this case, I downloaded the first two parts to read and discovered that the author is bringing out an omnibus of all the parts put together so I'm going to wait for that paperback release and buy it then.


Great start to this series,

I am enjoying the story and the dual POV, I can't wait to read on to find out how it will all play out for Rick and his wife.


This is my first book by this author and will not be my last.
Not your usual apocalyptic yarn, Rick and Dianne Waters see alternate views of the fall from civilization from opposite sides of the country.
What happens, and how the events leading up to and after the fall will be unexpected even for seasoned readers.

These books are a wild ride, with real characters undergoing dangerous changes, many adapting, some overcoming, and a few surviving.

These stories were well worth my time, I hope you enjoy this series too, I genuinely cannot believe any of these positive reviews unless these people have never actually read genuinely good books or know one iota about writing as a craft.
I didnt even reach themin mark on the audiobook and this is already what I came up with.
Thats not even getting into the grammatical issues,

“Blisters on the backs of his feet and toes” hmmm if only there was a word for the back of the feet.
Perfect example of selfpublishing writers who get into a bad habit of page padding where abook series could likely be just a trilogy.
Using “heels” would have removed three unnecessary words,

Having such a boring CV breakdown of ricks past knowing he graduated high school then went to college then started low at a company and worked his way up.
First, you cant get into college without graduating high school or ged so thats redundant, Second, nearly everyone starts low and works their way up the company ladder, I get the author is trying to shovel a massive dose of “look at how tech dependent we are” down our throats within the first page but its absolutely unnecessary or, at the very least, not worth so much excessively wasted space.
Rick works in tech for a car company, thats all we need to know,

Why is it important to know he had an issue with his parents only to find out they made up and somehow thats important to him having a plot of land all in one sentence Its not! First, the relationship with his parents is unimportant even if it becomes important later for added stress elements SHOW US they have bumpy history through an argument or some kind of dialogue.
Second, we can all easily assume that a working man has a home of some kind.
Even if we have to know about the house theres no reason to jam this much unimportant data down our throats this fast.
Of course the house is going to be a perfect prepper house too, Why bother to make it interesting to see the characters try to figure things out and make mistakes that could be dangerous or deadly that most everyone else would be experiencing instead having everything they need and knowing everything theres to know immediately.
Theres no doubt this is going to be a prepper handbook about everything you should be doing and all the stuff you should have on hand instead of an survival story.
Also, again, why TELL US The writer has zero concept of “show, dont tell” arch as “showing” us the house when we actually get to a scene that involves the house instead of cramming more unneeded details.


While we know ricks boring, typical, Everyman life we have no idea about where he is, his surroundings, why is he running, his feelings nothing.
The author spent two sentences on introducing us to the scene and then went off on a tangent of verbal diarrhea about everything else thats utterly unimportant.
SCENE BUILDING LEARN IT.

The writer just went through all this preaching about work can be tough so life at home is simple.
Self sustainability, blah blah, then puts his single character into a deluxe car, I cant tell if this is just another example of unnecessary information why is the size of the car important unless we find out its perfectly convenient for him to pack it full of emergency supplies later or if the author is trying to purposefully ironic but I think given what Ive seen of the writing “ability” thus far that would be giving him too much credit.


Remember how I said we know nothing about the scene already So apparently this guy was running with luggage that wasnt mentioned,

which is funny considering this guy loves to give us a tsunami of details that have nothing to do with our scene but cant be bothered to give us any information about whats happening in the actual hereandnow scene.
Plus, running with luggage is awfully awkward to do, Why was it important to break down the actions of someone getting into the car putting his stuff in the back and then getting in.
Theres zero connectability. Nothing like “Rick reached the car rental, sweaty but relieved that he was still on schedule and couldnt wait to blast the AC to fight the scourge of a day it is outside.
” In just those few words I took almost everything from your first page but now we have sensations we feel what Rick is feeling, we get that hes hot and sweaty, we understand the weather is hot, but we know this by CREATIVE WRITING instead of just being lectured at “Rick did this.
Then this. Then that. ”

Why is he meeting government officials regarding a single company starting to add tech to their cars in a world that the author has told us is already almost entirelytech reliant.
Even if the company needs to receive government approval for things the guy selling the IT aspects wouldnt be involved that would be lobbyist and golf course circle jerks like all such political wheel greasing is done.


Kaboom. Really Are we in a Batman episode

We cant get this author to write any descriptive information then he has the cars glass both shattering and cracking in the same sentence.
One extreme to the other, Wait First hes driving, then he stops with the explosion and instead of instinct saying “get out of there” Rick takes the key out of the ignition and then a nanosecond later decides to put it back in and start the car again First, we can understand him stopping and looking back at what happened but then most people would flee.
Why does he dick around with the keys, Second, again with giving the wrong details, We dont need to know he took the key out then put it in then started it.
Just say he stopped at the explosion and then panic kicked in and he floored it to get away from whatever was happening.
If you need fluff you can say he started turning on the radio for any emergency alerts.
