About this listen

For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).

When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages.

In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line.

Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild. The communicability and mortality rates are devastating, leaving only small pockets of survivors scattered throughout the countryside.

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?

Good .. list sense of time...

Good story line. Likeable characters which I feel I've (in the 1st book,) been given a wide insight into them and their workings and have a great personable connection to them going into book two. I’m interested in their journey, their story and feel invested in what is to come next for them and how the group expands and copes with the changes to come.
As always R. C. Bray does not disappoint! this man could read me a stamp and could portray depth and drama. 5☆s.

Brilliant story development and characters

Brilliant story and character development with an excellent pace. A realistic take on an apocalyptic event and the struggle of the survivors. I am starting part 2 immediately.

Simply excellent

Great characters with deep personalities
Rich story line
Great approach to writing the story
Wonderful reading
Read it. You won’t regret it.
As I write I’m waiting, impatiently, for Commune 2 to be released.
If you’re thinking about using Audible just do it. These stories are with me all the time as I travel work rest and play.
Enjoy!

It gets better

I have read the series now and felt I had to leave a review. The first 2 books are told in interview style and in past tense. I’m not a fan of this as you know the characters being interviewed are “safe”. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars not 5 and books 3 and 4 aren’t done this way which is great. A truly interesting story with plenty of action and well rounded characters. R c Bray is fantastic as always which is only reason I found these books. A great listen. I highly recommend.

Good story. Interesting characters but....

I enjoyed the book. The characters were interesting. However, the endless weapon descriptions, were a bit tedious. I'm guessing the author is American.
