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.

Was ok.

Got this book because there was a lot of adds for it on Facebook and when it came up with all three books for one credit i thought "Heck. why not." The books were ok but didn't seem to live up to the hype. Good take on the apocalypse.
Will defiantly give it another listen in a while.

Not for me.

More a collection of short stories with absolutely zero character development. Funny in places, but I just didn't care about the people at all.

Each "book" lasts 6 hours, and the boom box contains the first 3 "books". The performance was good, he was clear and concise, but it was a shame.

Yet another book heavily advertised on Facebook, that just wasn't worth it.

Not bad

Made me smile in places, story was OK as was the narrator. Good value for the three books. Not sure if I'll bother with buying more after the ending. That ruined the whole thing for me.

I love it! but...

Diesel doesn't ignite and flame like that. I love this book, it's a great and funny story though it's difficult to figure out which character it follows, there are a lot of character changes without warnings in this audio book.

A fun filled wasteland adventure

An interesting take on the Apocalypse genre, funny characters, reasonable plot, obvious bad guys with some bitter be reality mixed in.
fully enjoyed all three books and can't wait to start the next one.

Mixed bag. A bit weird and wacky at times.

There is some very good gritty sections, some weird and wacky sections and some sections that just don't belong. I't finished well. Not sure if I'm willing to buy the final two books for a credit each at only 6 to 8hrs each. Probably not
