About this listen
With humanity on the brink of extinction, they activated the EMP. Now, the world enters darkness.
It started with bright lights; a new medical technology, promising to eradicate all human ills. History of blood clots? Cholesterol clogging up the old ticker? There was a nanobot for that. It wasn’t cheap of course, and everyone knew that new technology had bugs in it. But hey, why not let the rich be the guinea pigs for once?
Fast-forward a year, and the one percent began dying en masse. The nanobots had evolved to view aging as a virus and were reacting by shutting down the host. Swathes of the population were infected before the government rolled out a treatment program in the midst of riots and mass unrest.
Meanwhile, the nanomachines spread like wildfire, infecting and killing millions. The remains of the government had no choice but to detonate a series of experimental weapons in the atmosphere, producing an EMP effect that rendered almost all electronic devices on earth useless.
Bradley is one of the survivors. A former veterinarian, he decides to escape his burning city and trek deep into the Maine wilderness, aiming to find his estranged father’s old lake house. Remembering lessons learned and long-forgotten, Bradley endeavors to survive on his own terms and be self-sufficient in a new and altogether darker world.
But his struggle has only just begun.
This is the first audiobook in K. M. Fawkes’ Enter Darkness series, a post-apocalyptic EMP series of audiobooks.
©2018 KM Fawkes (P)2018 KM FawkesThe Longest Night is, obviously, a book of attempted survival in a changed world. No zombies, just other people are the unknown danger. The setting is atmospheric, Brad's fear palpable. He is no alpha male able and willing to take on the world, just the opposite, in fact. He abhors violence, tries to steer clear of any trouble: he is just an ordinary person in an extraordinary situation forced to go against what he believes is right to survive. Although not written in the first pefson, the majority of the book is seen from Brad's perspective and narrator, Andrew Wehrlen, further enhances the character development with his fine performance, Brad's fear and discomfort showing through the fast delivery.
My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of the book, via Audiobook Boom. Different from many of the usual apocalyptic stories, The Longest Night is both thought provoking and frightening, a worthy first episode of what promises to be an excellent series and I'm looking forward to book two.

I have listened to books performed by this narrator before and that was some of the reason for choosing this as he is very easy to listen to.

Great story, well worth a listen

And it was surprisingly good , the backstory about a self immolation event to stop a rampage of Nano killing the nation was surprisingly well thought out and executed.
Our main character Brad is fleshed out nicely with a convincing backstory and skill set with some great self doubt moments giving some appealing tension and thrills as he tries to survive in this new world.
Narration is the usual good work from ABW but i will be keeping an eye out for more audios on this series and perhaps even the books as well after this foray.
I requested this audio and have left my thoughts on this for you to peruse.
