About this listen
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).
When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages.
In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line.
Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild. The communicability and mortality rates are devastating, leaving only small pockets of survivors scattered throughout the countryside.
Commune: Book One is the story of one small group of survivors who must adapt to a primitive, hostile world or die. As they learn the rules of this new era, they must decide how far they're willing to go to continue living, continually asking themselves the same question daily: is survival worth the loss of humanity?

Story
Ranger Quinn thought that morning would be like so many others. A hangover, a day off before going back to work keeping the lower levels of Zion City safe from itself. But a crime so horrific, so brutal in its execution, turns those mundane expectations around. An investigation into the death of a senior leader in their underground utopia safe from the harsh radioactive wastelands beyond their walls forces Quinn beyond that safety and into the world outside.

Story
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Terrific Story
I truly enjoyed this story. The mix of people was great...representing a broad spectrum of humanity. I really enjoyed the narrator. I particularly enjoyed the "First Nation" voice of Bill. He sounded just like Graham Green, the Canadian First Nation Actor (who is one of my favorite actors). I could just see Graham Green in the part, even though he would be smaller in stature than the fellow in the book. I was sorry to see him die. However, I will carry on with the series because the story is really good too.

Always bring lots of guns to the Apocalypse
I have to agree with other reviewers here, that there is way too much story on guns here. That being said though even a not-gun nut like me listened to this story with interest. I liked that people and I could relate to Amanda. R.C. Bray did a great job even with the lady voices and paced the story well. great listen

Good for what it is.
Ok so this is a genre I’m extremely sick of and seem to keep stumbling into - American-centric content, set in apocalyptic shit hole they’ve made of the future - revolves around good ol macho American values of militaristic stupidity, ‘the marines’, guns, bombs, killing people, ‘good guys’ vs ‘bad guys’, and the occasional sprinkle of two dimensional ‘feelings’ for character development.
Having said that- it’s well written and a couple steps above most of the dreck in this field. TC Bray’s narration is top notch. The author spends a lot of time reciting factoids apparently gleaned from American survivalist manuals- which gets pretty old, but overall definitely worth a listen even if you’re as jaded as I am, and if this Stars and Stripes Rambo stuff is your cup of tea you’ll totally love it.

Just another story about the "after catastrophe"
It's ordinary. Somethings do not make sense, why were they not hunting, fishing, etc. I much prefer "Gray" as aa "after catastrophe" story. However, if you like guns, you will enjoy the detail descriptions of many types of fire arms.

I need to listen to the whole thing again because apparently there is something about our mystery man Jake's past in the book. I have a theory but I can't share potential spoilers!

A fantastic book! Wow!
When the author is good you enjoy the story and by chance you'll pick up another by the same author.
When the author is great you can hardly wait for the next word, sentence, chapter or sequel. A great author brings characters to life. A great author makes you care about the characters. Joshua Gayou is this author.
I have new friends in Gibbs, Jake & Amanda.
What an amazing novel, characters and story!
Bravo JG!!!
As for RC Bray...what can you say about perfection? He is THE best narrator in the business, hands down. He brings all the characters to life.
The best analogy I can come up with is:
When I was a kid my grandfather used to tell me stories of the war (WWII) and he was so perfect at it that I was transported back to that time and I could smell the gunpowder, hear the shells being fired, taste the horrible rations, feel the pain. I was no longer sitting in his living room drinking tea, I was in that foxhole, hiding behind that tree, laying in that hospital.
RC Bray doesn't just tell you a story, he transports you INTO the story.
I only wish that for those ultimate authors and narrators I could go above and beyond the 5 stars.
Thank you Josh & Bob for a great escape.
