About This Audiobook

Fourteen-year-old Greg Dixon faces an unthinkable reality when a devastating pandemic sweeps across the globe, leaving him stranded at his New England boarding school surrounded by death. With winter approaching and his supplies dwindling, Greg embarks on a perilous hundred-mile journey to reach his family's remote New Hampshire retreat, clinging to his father's final message and the hope that somewhere, his loved ones have survived. Meanwhile, his father John and uncles find themselves scattered across a quarantined America, each fighting their own battles against a collapsing civilization while desperately trying to reunite with the boy who may represent humanity's fragile future.

Scott Brick's masterful narration elevates this harrowing survival tale through his nuanced portrayal of characters pushed to their absolute limits. His ability to capture both Greg's youthful vulnerability and the gritty determination of the adult survivors creates an immersive listening experience that amplifies the story's emotional weight. Brick's pacing allows the tension to build naturally across the substantial runtime, while his distinct character voices help listeners navigate between multiple perspectives as the scattered family members face impossible choices in their race against time and extinction.
