About this listen
In the dawn of a new Ice Age, families everywhere are taking to the road to escape the frigid landscape - but you can’t outrun the cold. No one could have predicted the terrifying impact of human interference in the Arctic. Shifts in the Earth's crust have led to catastrophe, and now the North Pole is located in the mid-Atlantic, making much of the eastern United States an unlivable polar hellscape.
Nathan Tolley is a talented mechanic who has watched his business dry up due to gas shortages following the drastic tectonic shifts. His wife, Cyndi, has diligently prepped food and supplies, but it’s not enough to get them through a never-ending winter. With an asthmatic young son and a new baby on the way, they’ll have to find a safe place they can call home or risk freezing to death in this harsh new world.
When an old friend of Nathan’s tells him that Detroit has become a paradise, with greenhouses full of food and plenty of solar energy for everyone, it sounds like the perfect place to escape. But with dangerous conditions and roving gangs, getting there seems like an impossible dream. It also seems like their only choice.

When a series of devastating terror attacks brought down the United States, Conor and Barb assumed they were safe in their compound. They had everything they needed. They were armed and highly trained. But then, Barb was kidnapped. The kidnappers didn’t know why Conor was known as The Mad Mick. They didn’t know the fear and respect his name invoked in the shadowy underworld of covert operations. They didn’t know that when it came to protecting his family, he was without conscience, without compassion, and without equal. But they would soon find out.

Before the lights went out, Jack Warrant never considered himself a prepper. That was someone on the edge, a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday cultist who had a fatalistic view of the world. He was neither a theorist nor a cultist. He was an optimist. At least that was what he told himself when the darker thoughts creeped into his psyche as he stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night. Whenever he started down the rabbit hole, he always clawed his way back into the sunlight.

The thin veneer of civilization was laid bare as man fought one another for survival.

After the polar shift.
A little slow for me, I understand that this is a trilogy, but I don't think I'm interested enough to go for the other books. The story moved a little slow for me. and I did not find any character that I really liked that much.

First time I have seen this take on apocalyptic
I really liked this listen/read. The many characters were completely fleshed out. The story moved along nicely and believable pace. I found only one thing I was out of sorts with. It ended on a cliff-hanger! But that left me wanting more. I WILL be listening/reading the rest of this series. I highly recommend this book to all those that like Post-Apocalyptic stories. Now for the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." "I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.”

Was hoping for more apocalyptic peril
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
The earth's poles have shifted and caused The Big Winter. Nathan and Cynthia have a son named Tony and a baby on the way. Public services in their hometown of Glen Falls are shutting down, so the family hits the road (with some friends and strangers) to find a larger city where they could receive medical help for the pregnancy and for Tony's asthma.
There is no character development. Nathan's thoughts seem juvenile and include odd metaphors and similes that only detract from the story rather than add to it. Nathan also keeps having to repeat his mantra "family first," so that he doesn't forget the importance of helping his family over strangers, which just seems bizarre. Particularly because (while described in a very cheesy fashion), he clearly loves his family.
No one seems particularly alarmed about what's going on around them. The plot is not interesting until one particular scene near the end. The characters they meet along the way are flat and don't add to the story.

Good storyline but....
Hmmm... I hate to be negative because I think this is a good book. It was just so boring and I don't think it's due to the story but more due to the narrator. He was a little monotone... had to stop listening. Sorry.

The first in the series and it is pretty good!I did not fall in love with any of the characters.I found Nathan rather childish for a grown man.I have no idea how dealing with a climate change apocolypse would affect a normal man.

A good story. A great premise.
I am a huge fan of the flood of post apocalyptic fiction we have today. This was no exception. I love the story and the dedication to family. The fact that, knowing these areas since I drive over the road, I could imagine the hardships and dangers they faced. The story was wonderful, if I can only say one thing that isn't a rave review, it's that the narration left a bit to be desired. Other than that, great job. Pick this up if you are looking for a great PA fiction thrill ride!

The North Pole moves south!
In an interesting, even unique plot twist, the east coast of the United States now resembles Alaska. Whether from global warming or the stars changing positions, the jet stream has moved, and the North Pole has moved to the mid-Atlantic. The Tolley family is trapped in the polar wilderness called New York. People are fleeing south to a hopefully warmer climate. They have also heard of an oasis in Detroit, where hydroponics supply food and it is somewhat warmer; perhaps due to the Great Lakes effect. This first volume of the series chronicles the Trolley’s as they traverse the barren landscape, surviving the bitter cold, blizzards, gangs, food and fuel shortages. Three.point.five for a solid start. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

maybe this genre isn't for me
I got this book for free and leave this review of my own accord.
this book was fine. I've only read a couple books so far that are SHTF scenario type post apoc stories so I don't if they all read similarly, but this one was vary similar to the other one, the name of which I cannot recall offhand. Plus each having similar situations (pregnant wife, person with dementia who is unable to travel, family with a single child and the dad's bamf friend, etc) seems strange though it's probably just a coincidence.
The story was fine. the characters were fine. The plot was fine. But none of it was compelling. The story ended in a very stranfe place. I guess it's supposed to be a cliffhanger, but I'm definitely not hanging on. As I said in the title, maybe this genre isn't for me. It wasnt bad, but I won't bother with the sequel.
If stories of this genre are your thing, probably add a star to my rating.

It was OK

Although a bit slow starting, I think this was a decent book. The narrator is kind of dry, though, which I thought was a big contributing factor. That aside, it was still a decent book. I got used to the dry narration after a couple hours and it stopped bothering me. I'm on the fence whether or not I will continue the series.

Post apocalyptic
I found this slow going at the beginning and it did not grab me at all. I also found that there was no urgency in this type of genre. It has promise but it is not for me.
Others might like it more than I did.
