About this listen
As the only child in an upper-middle class family, Rowan has had it easy. Doted on by a mother who never wanted anything but a child to love, she's never wanted for anything. Kiaya’s life, however, has been anything but easy. Parents who didn’t want her, followed by being torn away from her only sibling by the foster care system, she knows what it means to have to work hard for the things she wants.
When a deadly virus sweeps the country, Rowan and Kiaya are away at college and far from everything they love. Desperate to make it home, they team up, but as the world around them dies, an unexpected detour leaves them stranded in Vega, Texas where they make a shocking discovery. The virus isn’t just killing people. It’s changing them.
When former cop, Devon, sweeps in to save the day, it looks like their luck has shifted. With hundreds of miles left to cross and the dead taking over, the trio is determined to do whatever it takes to get home. Traveling historic Route 66, Rowan, Kiaya, and Devon fight for survival as they struggle to come to terms with their changing world.
Written in the tradition of the Amazon best-selling Broken World series, Far From Home follows a group of survivors through a zombie infested country as they search for safety, all the while growing and changing with the world around them.

Book 1 of this branch in the Broken World universe (I do recommend starting from Broken World->Silent World.. followed by Alone then the Oklahoma Wasteland Series 1-2 <leave book 3 until after Twisted Fate to avoid spoilers> and Broken World Stories Novellas then Twisted World-Twisted Fate) There are some other short love stories dotted around in different time lines which are nice to enjoy afterwards.
This book follows another group of survivors at the start of the viral outbreak as they travel down Route 66 just like Vivian, Axel, Angus and the rest of Team James. Phoenix University, in Arizona is where Rowan is trying to make her way home from college back to OHIO, She's joined by fellow travellers Kyle and Kiaya, because there's safety in numbers and a lot of desperate people trying to flee the infected areas. Rumors about the true nature of the virus and YouTube videos of potential dead walking around. Given the chaos caused by Covid and Lockdowns, the fuel shortages and chaos the characters face is very familiar.
Okay not so much the Martial Law and road blocks and requiring official papers to travel but it IS only August... plenty of time for that yet. People aren't exactly dying in the streets and schools havent been set up as emergency clinics... but I'm still waiting on the Alien Invasion portion of this year to ruin Christmas.
It's barely a day into their journey when Kyle gets exposed to a sick woman in a pit stop diner and they end up having to stop to deal with his fever. They stay with him until the very end... iit's here we see the Cameo from Angus, Trey and Pavarty... I'm assuming this is the same rat motel where Vivian has Strep. Rowan even ends up tagged as Blondie number 2. Gets the low down from Joshua in the shop and gets a Come to Jesus Prepare for the End nudge from Angus.
Kyle ends up dying and its lucky for them that Devon, a local cop is nearby to help them deal with the zombie threat. Kiaya is travelling to get her younger sister and get someplace safe, and Rowan isnt as used to having to fend for herself as Kiaya who spent time in the foster system.
I won't give out too many spoilers but its awesome!
Life is complicated...then. Zombies...
