Publisher's 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.

Great new series

A total roller coaster. Lots of laughs and lots of plot twists. Don't get too comfortable, there is a unseen angle around any corner.

Great ending!

Those who are complaining about the ending need to get a grip. I was afraid to start this because of their comments all though I do appreciate no one giving the end away. This story was excellent from start to finish and funny all along the way. I will concede that if your're looking for a "happily ever after" this might not be right for you, but if you're looking for a rollicking comedic adventure this is a great time!

Apocalyptic with a twist of strange

for the most part a very interesting set. however kept going into the strange and unbelievable which tended to lose the reader.

good, but would love longer books

I really enjoyed the series. some very funny writing that had me actually laughing out loud. so good I wanted MORE. the books felt like watching a TV episode, when I was craving for the full length feature film. I would love to see the librarian explore some more personal aspect if his character and backstory; while saving the damsel, and defeating the big baddie.

I found the book from a Facebook ad, and I'm glad I did.

narration left a little to be desired. I like lots of different voices to tell all the characters a part. there was variety, but I think some main character voices got recycled in later books that confused me a little.

read this book. it's super rad!
