I've been an avid book reader all my life, I'm going blind and can't read or watch tv anymore. Thank you for sharing your books and love all I have read from you so far
@@teakkabean5369 also try your public libraries if possible. I listen to these and rent movies for free! Not the new stuff but it’s still entertainment.
Agreed, even ebooks, and especially hard copies - books are SO expensive. Library kinda weirds me out because people are gross, like incredibly disgusting. Wiping boogers (yes full grown adults) on pages, just cuz! Nope.
Just started listening, being a truck driver this is heaven sent. Normally buying audio books without hearing them first, then finding out your not interested in the story is a waste of money! Love this story so far, only got through the 1st book & about to start the 2nd now!
Check out the library and see if they have audible books on CDs you can check them out for about a couple of weeks at a time . Most radio still have cd players in them .
I came across this video, Pandemic,,, this morning. I work outside alone and this story made my day fly by , so thank you so much for this amazing story Christine, I can't wait to start the next one. 😀👍
Thank you so much for posting your audio books. I lost alot of my sight after my stroke and found reading became difficult. Audio books now a days a so much more expensive and because of you I feel like I can still read. You are a complete blessing. ❤️
To be honest, I put this on just to drown out my drunk neighbor playing drums at 1am. Pleasantly surprised by how well this book is written and very relatable. Looking forward to listening to the rest of this series and more from the author. Ty for posting. Edit: for those who care. No, this man can't keep a beat. So I really needed this book. ✌️
Thanks so much for sharing this incredible book! I have dyslexia and audiobooks allow me to read more than I ever could have thought. It means so much that you make them accessible here on RU-vid
This is the only audiobook comments I've seen be 100 percent positive. Good on you for writing such a likeable book and good on the commentors for being so positive. Future commentors take note!
Checking houses for food, people stealing, corrupt Governor, killing gangs at their lair. Hiding on the farm, growing food. So enjoyed listening without the zombies (walking dead). Clean appreciated.
This series is the best. I found it by chance, and it was wonderful. I listened all four back to back. Not even waste time on commenting 😂😂. Now i came back to thank you for your great job. Thanks for sharing that on RU-vid. ❤
Just stumbled upon this series while trying to find something to listen to at work. just finished the first book absolutely amazing so far cannot wait for the second
It's perfect! Came across it by chance and it took just minutes to become totally engrossed. Not only is it a beautifully written, gripping story it has a narrator I've never listened to before but will actively seek out from now on. I'm 4 hours into the first book and (yay!) there are three more to go!!! Finding myself arriving home from work and getting in bed with this audio book just an hour later. 😊
So far an excellent read. I applaud you for uploading your books. I live in NYC and the sense of crime affects me from leaving my elderly mother alone. Your novels are a blessing!
I started with your Romance stories ,then I found out that you wrote after the end books…..I really love it so far….well done sweetly… please keep writing …. Love
the dude who abroke the window could just have knocked on the door and asked for help the funny thing is that this scenario is realy realistic since many people dont use their brains when they get desperate ... great book , great author thank you for uploading this i sadly cant afford to buy audiobooks ... i realy hope the author gets money from youtube by placing ad´s on this video ... #Greatings from #Germany by the way i know the author is the one uploadingg the audiobooks and i cant express how thankfull im for that... thank you very much !!! ...
I wish we had a TINY BIT of description on what the characters looked like and a bit of indistinct personalitys but who am I to complain author is a REAL MVP letting people listen to their book for free! im a fan and here to stay 😌💜
I subscribed, I've been looking for a book that takes time to develop the collapse rather than jumping straight to the action. You've accomplished that better than any other books I've found
My husband is recovering from 2 cancers and a subsequent operation. I have found this book a valuable relaxation aid when I cant sleep and need a distraction from our reality. Thank you so much.
This story just SUCKED ME IN!! Lol. I was up waaaay too late last night, because I couldn’t “put it down.” So glad to see the next 2 installments are on RU-vid already. Can’t wait to get to those 👍🏼
I listen to alot of apocalypse books, and I mean alot. This is one of the best books I've listened to in sometime. Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to the next one.
I highly recommend this series of 4 books! Just make sure that you have the time, or can make the time to listen to the series non-stop because you will become as addicted to them just as others have been. I've just finished book 4 in the series and my only disappointment is that the series came to an end. I've never listened to anything like these books and I don't even know what genre they fall into, but I'm now hooked on this author so am about to listen to the other series of books that she has generously shared on RU-vid. Fantastic writing that is enthralling, entertaining and certainly a possibility considering the manner in which Covid19 has struck the world. We have just been fortunate enough for it not to have killed as quickly as in this story. The narrator was also excellent! There was never a time that I actually considered him because he just kept the story so interesting that I never even thought about him, which to my mind, is the sign of a good narrator as it's their job to keep us involved in the story and not on the reader. I became so close to the characters that I was on their side all the way through. I'm also extremely grateful to the author for sharing her amazing books with us free of charge on RU-vid for everyone to enjoy. I'm about to listen to her other series on RU-vid now, just as I'm certain that you will too when you come to the end of this series. Thank you Christine for sharing your amazing books with us!
This brings back memories of the beginning…. School cancelled a week before spring break, then spring break happened and the kids were told two weeks more… then they didn’t return for 18 months. Shelves bare, no toilet paper, a limit on eggs and wipes. No face masks available, stayed home for days and days… the world went quiet!
For me the sign of a good book is when you feel you actually KNOW the characters as with this book...only just started and I feel I know them already.and the narrator is one of the best I've ever heard. Thank you, from UK
This is an excellent book Christine! Never read (or heard) any of your other works, I found this by chance and loved it! The characters were well developed and surprisingly the wife was not nagging or annoying at all like I expected her to be haha. Keep up the great work!
What are the odds of me doing a random audio book search where I happen to pick this book and live a quick 30 min drive from SLC? I really enjoy this book and will definitely be listening to the entire series!!
I have to say the reality of what you have written is so good. You must’ve really done a lot of research on what really what happened in situations like this. Every bit of it is so realistic, good job it’s such a good book.
Omg this family is SO vanilla... they SHOULD have watched Walking Dead 😊 Thanks for the upload. This is a good listen that you don't have to be super dialed into. It's a cool apocalypse with no zombies which is refreshing. I feel like the story will get better as it goes on. The narration is good. The commercials are basically each chapter but so brief there's no need to skip so it still helps the author. Enjoy.
Fantastic story, written remarkably well. It may only be ~5 hours but it felt like I’d known these characters personally, definitely looking forward to the next books!
The wife can really annoy me sometimes with her weird outlook, but i could see actual people thinking along similar lines. Loving the books, and immensely appreciate you uploading these. I plan on going through you entire list of audiobooks, your writing and reader are top tier
Yeah, the wife's mentality annoys me as well sometimes. She makes me want to yell, "we're not all like this" lol. Honestly, the husband annoys me just as much at times. But sadly, I think a lot of our population would think like them, and maybe worse. Most people aren't really, truly prepared for what a grid-down situation would be like, or how human nature would play out.
Addicted to this genre. Alot I don't like. Usually the voice of the reader. But absolutely love this so far. Many thanks from an insomniac. Makes my sleepless nights enjoyable
The trouble shooting to overcome obstacles is the best part for me. If I needed wood to cover a window I might scavenge a wooden garage door from an abandoned house
Just finished book 4 and come back to rate and review. To start with, what a captivating story, very well written and really well read. The only things im unhappy with is 1) I struggled for quiet time with 2 kids so it took me a while to get through 2) I managed to find the time and now its over Cant wait to get into your next book/series and thankyou so much for giving us this work, it really is very much appreciated!
The average American doesn't have the money to prepare like this...they live payday to payday...many from day to day. Thank you for sharing the series. You are a captivating author and the narrator is a favorite.
I would say after living through the pandemic in 2020 more people would have learned to stock up on everything little by little for the last 4 years . Like maybe when they got these stimulus checks and bought a freezer and long term food storage or other stuff . I would hope more people would have done things like that but I seen people going on vacation or buying large screen TV's or wasting money on things they really didn't need .
Listening to this now.. this is very relatable.. i lose my grandma to covid last September.. we didn't talk live because we are miles apart, i sent her a video message and she sent me hers.. and that's the last time we talked I still don't have the courage to watch it fully.. and lost my grandpa couple months ago.. this story hits me different.. thanks btw! This is giving me strength. :)
This is a really terrific, entertaining book. Thank you. also, thank you for including links to the other 3 books! I'm looking forward to listening to them as well.
Just finished listening to the amazing One Second After and One Year After. Then I found the hidden gem that is Bza Rza Gza's EMP series and his Chronical series and while I am awaiting more uploads to his series I stumbled upon this amazing treasure trove!!!! 😍 Seriously loving this Pandemic series!!!! I'm most of the way through book 1 and so excited to keep finding out what happens in the next ones!!! They are already saved to my playlist!!!! Great story and hits all too eerily close to the truth as well. It's not a matter of "if".... It's only a matter of "when". Be it a pandemic, natural disaster, bio attack, EMP, or whatever else it's only a matter of when before society falls into this sad reality. The narration was top notch as well and I truly am enjoying this series! You gained yourself a new subscriber!!!! 📚🌎☣️
Our street does a party every summer. We get permits and block the street. Everyone up and down gets an invite. Anyone I see from my back yard, I wave at. Anyone I see driving on my street, I wave at. I know everyone on my street and more. This whole book is really about knowing your neighbors and being able to communicate. It doesn't take much to grill some burgers and dogs and ask for sides, and the payoff can be huge. The other thing, like a lot of other books and as DJ Molles nicely puts it, "loose ends will always hang you." Check his books after you finish this series. Book one seems like you just went nowhere story-wise, but the series cokes together nicely. This book one is good, Christine, thanks for posting it!
I finished the series yesterday. I was sad it was over. It was a great series, gives you a lot to think about. Eerily prophetic too, thank you for a clean option. Best to you Christine.
Prophetic! Thanks so much for this, helped me through another long night of illness. Characters well written and the "good guys" likeable. Very well narrated. Because of an eye problem, finding it difficult to read these days, and just found another installment. Audiobooks a wee bit out of my price range these days, so appreciate!! . Thanks again!! ☀️☀️☀️
I have similar issues. Painful eyes and poor health that means I have to spend a lot of time either in bed at home or in hospital so these are wonderful for me. I only wish they'd been available years ago when I was forced to spend years in and out of hospitals. They certainly would have made my life so much easier. It was only last year that I spent a few months in hospital but audiobooks certainly saved my sanity! I certainly don't fear being bedbound the way I used to because I know that even if I can't read, or hold a book, or turn the pages, I'll still be able to listen to books that will certainly make the time more bearable.
I particularly love the whole "Pandemic" series. The characters are likable. I'm a re-reader, so I like reading the "good reads" over and over again, but especially this book's introduction of the nuclear family.
I have trouble hearing words in the right order - so I literally hear the end of the book first and have to gradually wait until the book unfolds backwards to the beginning!! I finally got there - excellent book!
Love the different Unabridged autiobooks like this. I'm not able to get my subscriptions up to date right now...and this is AWESOME! This is actually a kinda decent book to listen to. Two complaints....Im a lady/girl but heaven Almighty.... I want to STRANGLE all the whiny ladies/girls. And are folks actually that...dumb?? The wife upset that the good guy put a gun in her son's hands when all their lives were in jeopardy....Her wanting to carry a gun but afraid her 'children' (17 & 16 ) fooling with it...😕 Matt having to be explained to that Tony was killed...and by who??
Matt made a big mistake when he drew his weapon on the 2 co-op boys and didn't shoot them. Now instead of dealing with 4 armed d bags that night, he's dealing with 6. People always wonder how people like Stalin, Mao, Hitler etc. became so powerful. This is a good example: no one did anything when the problem was small enough to deal with. Great story so far👍
Wow, this was awesome. I can’t WAIT to see/hear the next book! Christine, excellently done. I couldn’t turn it off.. on to the next!! Thank you so much for uploading✌🏻
Iv read every actual apocalyptic book going lol just started this at bed time a couple of days ago, im loving it. Very relaxing until an advert blares out but still very worth listening, its my first ever audio and its going good. Thank you x
@@michaelpriest316 Eventually I may create audiobooks for that series. Thank you for listening to this series! Please make sure and subscribe to my channel so that you’ll know when I have a new audiobook up.
I subscribed right away. I have read over 700 books so far and this book series has made my top 100 list of my favorites. I even rate this book higher than the walking dead books.
This is a good listen. I admit, at some points it was hard for me to keep listening because the stupid decisions made that put the family right into clear and present danger were foreseeable and avoidable. But it's still a good listen. Thank you sharing..
Right?! Glad it’s not just me. I’m just over an hour in and I couldn’t tell if it was the way the narrator’s tone makes these people sound like morons or their actual decisions. It’s like the junk food of books. I’m entertained enough though so far🤷🏻♀️
I was thinking the exact same thing! OMG... They have to be the most naive, clueless, and inexperienced people on the planet! However, I sincerely hope that they'll get backbones and come to accept reality very soon.
Glad I'm not the only one. I kept screaming at my phone at various points. The amalgamation of all the survival audoobooks I've read (I know what I said) had me basically re-writing a lot of the decisions....frustration doesn't even begin to describe my mental state right now lol
This was a terrific story that really draws you in. I only intended to listen for a few minutes but ended up captured by the riveting tale and interesting characters and enjoyed it all the way to the end in one sitting. I have to ask the author... Did you get goosebumps in Mar/Apr of 2020 when the Covid Pandemic began to unfold?
@@ChristineKerseyBooks yes I enjoy this book my dad stepmother, stepsister, and to an extent my stepbrother aunt and 3 cousins have been preparing since 2020 of the collapse of society. If something like the Neighborhood CO OP happened we have enough people with rifles to fend off a group of thugs should something happen.
The story is just extraordinary. Thank you very much for the wonderful reading of this very touching story, how many times I am convinced that kindness overcomes evil, and everything turned out just wonderful here.
Yes, another series to listen to while at work. I finished the Chaos series last week now I have this one for this week. Thank You for your amazing writing skills they get me through these long hours.
Thank you! I'm unemployed currently and cant afford many of the things I'm used to. When it showed on my recommendations I thought it just some wannabe writer wanna cash off the covid pandemic. but damn. i gave it a 2 min try and was hooked from the start. not the story itself but from the way you express and write it. thank you! Gonna binge listen to all the books in this series
this.... was good at the start...but..the food thing.... if 95% of ppl died...thats like...9 houses full of food for every 1 with people in it... how/why are they already going nuts like this? this isn't an EMP with all those mouths still to feel... everyone is dead... there's LOTS of food all over for the first year at least... wft are these people doing?
Yeah the author is aiming at a different audience that doesn't really understand the nuts and bolts of the concepts in play. 95% mortality rate would leave every place on earth seeming like a ghost town where people would be desperate for company, not something to eat.
Most people wouldn't know how to cook for themselves.and other people that have prepared for some of the things that could happen wouldn't take people in or would be to afraid if people was dieing or a EMP happen this is why people should try to grow a tomato plant or some onions in a container or in front of the window or learn different skills like CPR or self defense or growing things or cooking, or building things even mechanic or plumbing any skills that could be useful in different situations .
Dry foodstuff like fish, fruit, meat and spices. Salt n pickle food. Get buckets n storage bins for indoor planting of seedlings, potatoes, tomatoes and nut & fruittrees to plabt outside later. Collect seeds.
MANY MANY THANKS Christine for posting this engrossing story you’ve written !! At first I was feeling annoyed with all the ads and THEN I noticed that it was actually posted by the author herself !!!! Well certainly you are more than deserving of all the ad revenue you can possibly get and I sincerely hope that this great audiobook is a great success !!!! Absolutely superb narration too by Andrew Tell!!
@@nurscathwill Yes I imagine, for such professional work!! She is bravely narrating both her new great series herself … I’m currently thoroughly enjoying her Chaos books!!
This is a good one I'm talking to Matt while working trying to tell him train ur family , dont let them in ur house. I love books that have u trying to interact with it. "That's how good this book is "!!!!!!
Wow I really like that book I love the character interaction the descriptions of the events going on it really makes you see a picture in your head I see these characters I I can relate to them and the storyline is fabulous I’m looking forward to the next book thank you so much for making this available
At chapter 13 so far. Trying to look for a zombie audibook but this one has hooked me in. The narration is fantastic and the way the author story tells is brilliant as well
An excellent novel, I'm thoroughly enjoying it! The character development draws you into the story and you really begin to care about the characters and what happens to them. My only problem is the number of ads. I appreciate that you've made these books available to us for free. It's a wonderful gift to those of us who could never afford them otherwise. And i completely understand you wanting to get your investment back through monitization, but double unskipable ads every 5-7 minutes at the beginning of every chapter is a bit ridiculous, and makes it difficult to stay immersed in the story. I'm on chapter 21, almost 3hrs into the story and have listened to 43 unskipable ads thus far. Difficult when i use these audiobooks to distract me from migraines that last 3, sometimes 4 days. Maybe you could cut them back a bit? Say every other or 3rd chapter? Much appreciated.
