In an instant, the world stopped. No electronics. No cell phones. No hope. An asteroid cluster has been sighted, and as if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s comprised of radioactive material. As the Fall begins, atomic debris scatters the globe, pelting civilization until only ruins and anarchy is left. 40 Days. That’s how long it’ll take for the Atomic Fall to stop… and that’s when the big one hits. The world will never be the same, including Liam and his pregnant wife who are fighting against the clock. They have five hundred miles to cover full of anarchists, bandits, and radioactive storms. Their final hope? Liam’s crazy prepper brother turns out to have been right all along. They’ll have to make it to the bunker that can withstand asteroid 2E’s impact and pray they have enough resources to survive the impact winter. Start running, because the countdown starts now. 40 Days is Book One in the Atomic Fall Survival Post Apocalyptic Thriller Series. There is mild language, violence, and a race for shelter that'll have you on the edge of your seat.

There’s no way I have words to do this justice, but I’ll make an attempt anyway …
Here goes:
Guys, THE SKY IS FALLING and as the author puts it: Start running, because the countdown starts now.

Post-apoc / dystopian / end-of-the-world are my absolute favorite types of reads, as someone who reads just about everything and still … this one wasn’t quite like any others I’ve read, and it was absolutely perfectly executed. Utter brilliance.
I completely could not put this down from the moment I picked it up. It’s a fast read, just chock-full of action, drama, excitement, uncertainty, betrayals, desperation, conspiracy, chaos ... It does an epic job of capturing the way humans can adapt rapidly as a result of a will to survive during unprecedented and challenging times.
It depicts people sinking to their absolute lowest, and at the same time, other people rising to demonstrate the very best humanity has to offer, while also giving the reader a glimpse at good people doing dark things, just to get by. Characters which were already expertly developed evolve on the fly, beautifully.
40 Days manages to depict several of the sort of scenarios you might expect to play out when the sky suddenly starts falling and a worldwide catastrophe hits, and some you likely didn’t expect, but that fit perfectly.
This will keep you on the edge of your seat, possibly prompt you to just quit things like real life responsibilities, sleeping, eating, etc. and I promise: you’ll have no regrets. Your heart will race and you’ll admire the writing and you’ll love some characters and absolutely loathe others all at the same time.
And? It’s plausible, all the while.
Fingers crossed I can watch this as a movie or series some day, it absolutely deserves to be on the screen.
ALL the stars. I can only give 5 here, and I don’t give 5-star ratings out very generously, as I’m pretty picky but, I’d give 10 to this one. ALL THE STARS.

“In a world of survival, everyone will change.”
Absolutely DYING for 40 Weeks … not in a cliffhanger kind of way though. This one does tie up pretty much as best as it can for the situation. But some things are a but ominous, as is the state of the world and there is absolutely a ton more that can (and likely will) happen. Will likely be reading this again … will listen if it comes out on audiobook. Definitely a new fave.
