Book 3 of the ‘Lone Survivor’ series is the one that got me interested in this series. The description of post-EMP survivors navigating the Appalachian Trail piqued my interest. I grew up near the AT and have always been fascinated by it. Because of this interest in the trail, I requested and received a free review copy of the ‘All That Escapes’ audiobook. The following is my voluntary review.
I would not call Book 3 a stand-alone novel in the series. It may be fairly difficult to follow the action without the prior knowledge of Books 1 & 2. Go ahead and spurge on those as well; they’re worth it. Also, be aware that this book also has the strongest cliffhanger of the 3 books, so you’ll definitely want to get Book 4.
At first, I thought this book might be a little more low-key in suspense. I was so wrong. The dangers of the Appalachian Trail for Landon and Beth just won’t let up. I was anxious the entire book and the climax is rip-roaringly great. Will they finally find their way to Castine?
Once again, we get little peeks into how the government is handling ‘the event’. We see individual reactions to the fact that FEMA and the military are poised to take over in Castine. I think it’s probably pretty close to what would happen if we were all faced with an EMP situation. We also get to see some characters making decisions that have unintended consequences, especially among the Castine residents.
The narration by Miles Meili is once again spectacular. His performance is dramatic and emothional. I got a little teary-eyed in places.
Another great book by Jack Hunt. Action-filled, thrill-packed, and believable.
Very highly recommended.
