This publisher's pack contains Survival (book one) and Humanity (book two) of the After It Happened series.
Survival, book one:
Set in the UK in the immediate aftermath of a mysterious illness which swept the country and left millions dead, the series follows the trials facing a reluctant hero, Dan, and the group he forms around him. They must battle the elements, find sufficient supplies and equipment to survive, and protect themselves against the most destructive force on the planet: other people.
Banding together those he found along the way, he has to fight to keep them safe.
To keep them alive. To survive.
Humanity, book two:
The survivors have established a home, but they still have to face the brutality of human nature.
Not only do they have to survive, they must keep their humanity.

Continue the series
The only thing that concerns me; is the length - 12hrs 38 mins for 2 books and a chapter or two of book 3 is worrisome. I would love to continue to purchase this series but that is reliant upon the author providing the hours of entertainment per buck. Too many authors now think 4 to 6 hours and only half a story is worth the cost of a full story. Hopefully, this author, will realise what most people want and will endeavour to provide value for money, rather than lose customers due to subjective overpricing.
Getting back to the books - The storyline is incredibly believable, the characters too seam realistic portrayals and the story moves at a quick pace without the usual dead spots, that whilst necessary, the listeners hate, as they wait for the next installment of the storyline. Can't wait to get Society when it's released. I'm sure this series will prove to be long-lived and eagerly awaited. I don't see the point of detailing the story as it would be pointless only know that it's definitely a Zompoc fans must have.
As a final point - Well worth the investment and you will not be disappointed with the story or the purchase.
Very Good Story and Very Enjoyable

What it is about is a group of survivors trying to build a new society for themselves. They actually get very logical very quickly and the story speaks to the human need for identity and purpose which while the book possibly skirts a lot of the other situational psychology is often overlooked in the genre. There is action, violence and disagreement but there is also a lot about the building of a fledgling society. To me it was very satisfying as a read.
So what about the narration? Hmm, this is where I hope not too many people read this one because I love RC Bray but I can't quite give him the usual five stars. This is a very English book and I have to say that while he does his usual brilliant job I do think one of the better English narrators might have given the book a little more of a unique local character.
Finally I note that the publisher / author have decided to combine each pair of books into these Publisher's packs. I say bravo! Shorter books are fine but I think that if you are going to produce a series each book should be a reasonable length. I don't expect every author to match the imperious Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight series at nearly 50 hours per book but 5 or 6 hours would definitely have been too little.

Good:
- the end of the world as we know it with a twist
- interesting characters and interplay
- R C Bray!
Bad:
- for the UK, there seems to be a lot of guns in this story but that's a plot device
- R C Bray cannot do a British accent! Haha!
on to the next books! recommend from me.
Interesting take on TEOTWAWKI

This is a very good story with some decent characters that made me smile , with a sensible and petty realistic take on the survival of people here in the uk after a virus/ plague wipes out most of the population and the dangers and challenges of starting again . My only gripe with the book is some of the weapons in the book would not be readily found in the uk and are often American weapons . Uk military generally use SA80,s and the susat sights or plain iron sites not m4's with red dot sights ( that's mostly call of duty nonsense ) I know this from my own time in the British Army all be it some time ago I don't think things haven't changed that much . The descriptions of the weapons are right , correct ammo etc , Gpmg is a correct term for our mounted machine guns but it often just the wrong weapons in the settings , it's the only thing wrong in an otherwise gripping and excellent story. It's nice to here Sainsbury's and Morrisons setting backgrounds for a book with may other British shops helping ground the book in a recognisable setting for us English folk .
The narration is ( as always ) spot on by R C bray . I'm looking forward to the rest of the books coming to audible .
Good welcome to the end of the world
