About This Audiobook

In the fourth book of Joshua Gayou's post-apocalyptic series, the commune at Jackson faces a world increasingly divided between those who hold to principle and those who have abandoned it entirely. Philosophical questions that once seemed abstract, about what survival justifies, about where the line between necessity and atrocity lies, have become the most immediate practical problems. Factions are forming across the ruined United States, and the community built by Jake and his people must decide how far it will go to survive the threats converging from multiple directions.

R.C. Bray is one of the premier voices in post-apocalyptic audio fiction, and his work in the Commune series showcases why. He brings physicality and weariness to the survivor characters, and his pacing through the action sequences is visceral without becoming breathless. At over twenty-two hours, Commune Book Four is the longest installment yet, but Bray keeps the material compelling even through its more contemplative stretches. Fans of morally serious survival fiction will find this series, and Bray's performance, among the best the genre has to offer.
