Long Walk Home

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

An ordinary man must walk two thousand miles through a collapsed America in this gritty, action-packed post-apocalyptic thriller.

Tom Brennan is not a prepper. He's not an ex-soldier. He's a forty-two-year-old insurance adjuster who traded his corporate life for a quiet cabin in the Ozarks. But a routine business trip to Boston turns into a one-way ticket to the end of the world when a catastrophic solar flare plunges civilization into darkness.

With all technology fried by an EMP, the city descends into chaos. Trapped and alone, Tom's only goal is to get home to his kids in Arkansas. But the 2,000-mile journey on foot is a brutal gauntlet through a landscape of desperation and violence. This is not a story about rebuilding society; it's about surviving its immediate, brutal collapse.

As he navigates the treacherous ruins of the Eastern Seaboard, Tom must learn new rules in a world where other people are the greatest threat. From roving gangs in the city streets to fortified compounds and rogue military patrols on the highways, every encounter is a deadly test. To survive, this everyman must become a scavenger, a fighter, and a killer, shedding pieces of his humanity with every bloody mile.
