About this listen

It’s the end of the world as you've never known it.

Join the Librarian as he does his best to make the post-apocalyptic world a better place by protecting the weak, fighting injustice, squaring off against a group of former renaissance fair workers who have established a kingdom in the Rocky Mountains, and so on. Can one man make a difference in the face of such murderous cannibals and super smart bears? Probably not.

The Boom Box includes:

Post-Apocalyptic Nomadic Warriors (Book 1)

An army of savage raiders have their sights set on the peaceful town of New Hope and the people are going to need help. When two nomads offer their assistance, one is hired and the other is sent back into the wasteland. Did they choose the right man for the job?

Knights of the Apocalypse (Book 2)

A price on their heads has driven the Librarian, Erica, and their loyal mastiff west in search of a new beginning. But when their truck breaks down in what was once southern Colorado they are swept into an epic quest at the behest of King Elias, ruler of the Kingdom of the Five Peaks and former turkey leg magnate.

Pursuit of the Apocalypse (Book 3)

A bounty hunter has kidnapped Erica and the Librarian and his dog, Chewy, are desperate to get her back. The chase will take them from the deserts of west Texas to the town of Tolerance and beyond. Be a part of the greatest chase the apocalypse has ever known.

It’s post-apocalyptic mayhem of the highest order in the series listeners are calling Mad Max meets Monty Python.

obviously derives much material from other established sources, but uses them to leverage humour and sardonic irreverence, overall good writing and very well narrated with nuance and characters being distinctive.

Great narrator and fun.

Amazing story and amazingly good story teller, I just couldn't stop listening to it, can't wait to hear the 4th and I think there might be a 5th book too.
Everyone should give it a try, it starts out slow, but it gets amazingly action packed, just love it

Superb book

I didn't expect to like this trilogy but it's not the usual global apocalypse/mutants/zombie stuff. It's actually very entertaining with a lot of comedy moments and not too much 'love interest' to spoil the story. Well written and narrated throughout.

comedic value in this one!

This is an ok post apocalyptic adventure series.

I bought it because it was heavily advertised as being hysterically funny - the new big thing in comedy writing. It isn't. There are a few laughs along the way - but nowhere near enough to allocate it into a comedy genre.

Construction-wise, it's a mess. The world-building is sloppy, without any apparent rules, and sometimes just a bit silly. Any gimmick the author thinks of just gets thrown in because "why not". He gets away with it. Just.

By the end of book 3, I was a bit bored and was about ready to give up with the series, but he just managed to pique my interest enough at the end to get book 4.

I am glad he did. Book 4 is on another level. He settles down and concentrates on storyline and characters and it works. Book 4, I properly enjoyed.

It's worth a credit, but doesn't meet the hype
