COMMUNE BOOKS 1-3 – Audiobook

Length: Book 1 – 10 hours, Book 2 – 15 hours, Book 3 – 17 hours
Author: Joshua Gayou
Narrator: R. C. Bray

Another book that I picked from the list of books that R.C.Bray narrates. This time around it’s an end of the world story where a mysterious sickness has killed most of the world’s population and a few survivors have to fight for survival.

Currently there are three books available in the series:

Publishers summary

Commune Book One: is the story of one small group of survivors who must adapt to a primitive, hostile world or die. As they learn the rules of this new era, they must decide how far they’re willing to go to continue living, continually asking themselves the same question daily: is survival worth the loss of humanity? But they know that it’s only a matter of time before the food runs out. They need to scramble to find a sustainable solution before the clock stops, and for a little handful of people up in the mountains, the odds don’t seem very favorable.

Commune Book Two: The survivors have come to settle in the mountains of Wyoming, fighting day in and day out to establish a home for themselves in a near-empty world. Things are good at first; scavenging is a workable, short-term solution that seems to be providing all they need.

Commune Book Three: Having been bolstered with the supplies sufficient to carry them through the winter, the survivors of the Jackson commune must now hunker down and endure the bitter Wyoming snows, while to the south, factions are beginning to form, coalescing from the ashes of the dead world. Out in Arizona, the leftovers of the US Military encamped in the last known surviving tent city: the Elysium Fields. In Nevada, a clan of scavengers grows ever larger, each day bringing them a step closer to collapsing under their own weight.

Verdict

I have finished all of the currently available three books. Books one and two are very good and book three is a little slow. It feels like book 3 and the upcoming book 4 could have been put into one large book. But hey – I don’t have a problem with that. I still had a great time listening.
