VACATION CHECKLIST
  • Pack swim trunks.
  • Apply sunscreen.
    Survive the apocalypse?
    Professional underachiever Dan Foster is finally taking a vacation. Sure, his life has been average at best, and yeah, he's never quite lived up to his potential. But after a few Miller Lites in paradise with his girlfriend, Mara, things are starting to look up.
    Then the sun explodes.
    With the island resort suddenly plunged into darkness (he really should've sprung for the travel insurance), Dan's holiday goes from bad to worse when elite guests stage a coup and commandeer supplies. As temperatures drop and class tensions rise, revolution begins to brew on the island, and Dan
    accidentally becomes a beacon of hope for the surviving vacationers. But when one six-person plane is discovered that could get them back to the mainland, Dan realizes he has a choice to make.
    Does he escape the island with Mara? Or does he stay and fight to become the most unlikely hero of the end of the world?
    "The end of the world has never been so fun! Explosively funny and terrifyingly plausible in its depiction of the apocalypse, this cinematic debut had me LOLing, cringing, and cheering throughout. I absolutely blazed through this earth-shattering action romp."—Josh Winning, author of The Shadow Glass

        Narrator Stephen Thorne's nuanced narration is ideal for this comic depiction of a society in chaos. Listeners will enjoy its emphasis on the ridiculous. During Dan's first vacation in a decade, the sun explodes, and the resort where he's staying is plunged into darkness. A social hierarchy quickly takes hold in which Building A, with the most amenities and wealthiest guests, holds all of the power. Dan becomes a reluctant hero and leader as Buildings B and C revolt. Guests are desperate to get home after this apocalyptic event. The discovery of a small plane on the island means it might be possible for some. Thorne's superb range and pace and his ear for accents are perfect for portraying the variety of guest types. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
