Publisher's Summary
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.

Story
The post-apocalyptic world isn't that bad. Sure, there are mutants. But, for the people of New Hope, daily life isn't so much a struggle of finding food or medicine as it is trying to find a new shortstop for their kickball team. This makes it difficult for a post-apocalyptic warrior to find work. Thankfully, an army full of killers is making its way to the peaceful town and plans to raze it to the ground. Only a fully trained post-apocalyptic nomadic warrior can stop them.

It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

Amazing!
I was a little leary of a post apocalyptic comedy novel as I do love the genre but decided to give this title a whirl anyways. I am so very glad I did. It has a very humorous air about it and is well written. The narrators preformance is stellar in conveying the books attitude. From a survival stand point, this book may not be as thought provoking as other in the genre, but offers some humerous insights to some things that I had not considered as possibilities in an apocalypse in a very light and fun jab at our world today and what could happen if particular types of people are allowed to make thier own decisions.
This book is like Mad Max meets Monty Python meets that friendly guy in movies that everyone likes but no one remembers his name.
If your looking for a chuckle, get this series!

So good, I'm surprised it's not a movie yet.
I don't know what to say this has to be by far one of the best books I've read up-to-date. The story is both brilliant and compelling I just have to know what happens next. Big props to the narrator Phil Thron for delivering an amazing performance. I couldn't get enough.

Starts great, than turns mediocre
A great satire that turns into a cringy one trick pony. As the books procede, the characters turn more and more into two dimensional stereotypes that can be compared to pictures on a box of cereal.
3 books for price of one is still good, but I can guarantee that by the end of the third book your eyes will get tired from rolling up and you will be saying "OH FOR THE LOVE OF....I GET IT!!!" a lot.

My desired headline had to be censored!
This series of books had me permanently grinning, with regular interruptions of reflexive snorts and out loud gales of laughter! Seriously funny and surprisingly insightful take on society and the fallout of the Apocalypse. Never mess with the librarian. I'm buying more books in the series as soon as they're available.

Well Paced with a good narrator
Bought on a whim, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the series. It felt far more realistic as a post-apocalyptic world then many books with unstoppable protagonists. Best likened to the how our last three years didn’t resemble a virus-driven zombie video game.

Not the style of narrator I prefer.
I love this genre of story and bought the box set but ended up returning it because it was not engaging to listen to. I prefer narrators that get more emotionally involved in the performance over storybook reader style. I think I will really like this series, but I will try the hard copy versions.
