About this listen

Four years after an inexplicable wave of energy decimated the American mainland, and then just as inexplicably disappeared a year later, US President James Kipper is no closer to explaining the catastrophe to the traumatised survivors.

In a decaying New York City, an assassination attempt on the President prompts the suspicion that the looters overrunning Manhattan may be more organised and sinister than previously thought.

Then out of the smoking ruin of the Middle East comes an enemy that will be Kipper's toughest challenge yet. The battle for the Wild East is just beginning, but does this New America, and its gun-shy President, have the strength of will to destroy the past in order to save the future?

Would you listen to After America again? Why?

Yes I would...in a year or so....its an easy and entertaining listen

What other book might you compare After America to, and why?

Collapse, very simllar stories...the end of a powerfull America, a looming threat of Johnny Foreigner on there doorstep!

What about Kevin Foley’s performance did you like?

Coolio...even the womens voices werent to bad, Usually male readers just sound really camp when they do this. Which amuses me.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Nooo....its not that kind of book

Any additional comments?

Bourne Identity meets The day after tomorrow is the best description for this jolly little jaunt.

GREAT STORY

A long sequal like the first but some great characters. overall another brilliant book by Birmingham, however the previous narrator was more convincing.

Good sequal
