Description
The first in the multi-author, post-apocalyptic blockbuster series
Cal's "honeymoon" didn't start off quite how he'd planned. For starters, he was heading somewhere he didn't actually want to go. And secondly, he was going alone and unmarried. He had no idea that his first visit to New York City would also land him in the middle of a domestic terror attack, forcing him to flee Manhattan in a desperate bid to survive.
This was no ordinary terror attack.
The Movement, in a misguided attempt to seize political control of the USA, unwittingly invited the destruction of their homeland, and as the bombs start to fall, the shock and loss of life reverberates around the world.
Cal, along with a small group he met in NYC, desperately flees inland away from the targeted coastal cities, but chaos follows them around every corner.

Disappointingly Implausible
This Devon C. Ford offering reads more like a technothriller than Dystopian Fiction. There are three different authors for the 'Burning Skies' Series - and hopefully the others do a better job providing thoughtful "survive-at-any-cost" adventure.
Don't get me wrong.. Ford's vocabulary/prose is creditable, the combat is well-scripted, and his plot is breakneck-paced and loaded with adrenaline-fuelled action - but Domestic Far-Right Terrorists Plus Chinese National Invaders Plus Eastern European Organized Criminals (Independent but with identical plans somehow) took me out of the illusion of reality. I'm usually quite good at suspending disbelief, but this one was a challenge.
Fortuitously for audiobook aficionados, reader Neil Hellegers turns in an imperfect but praiseworthy performance. He does his best to elevate the book with an emotive narration.
Altogether, 'The Fall' does a reasonable job setting up the post-apocalyptic scenarios for future authors to explore - but the ludicrous synchronized causes of the collapse of Western Civilization (WWIII plus Coup d'Etat plus Sociopathic Riots/Looting) sentence this entry to "adequate distraction" status. I rate it 5/10 stars. As a 'Plus' option, it would be a serviceable diversion for a long drive or a quiet night shift.. but save your Credit for something else should they ask for one.

I love a good ebof the known world type book.
Is there going be a book 4 in this series? If not that really sucks as the story is incomplete.

meh
A lot of fluff side stories and characters circling an underwhelmingly engaging main story.
