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.

The Post-Apocalypic story we all deserve!!!

Absolutely amazing! The mutants, raiders, bounty hunters, plants, the very wasteland itself is out to claim the Librarian. With a determination to do what's right, Jerry fights a death truck, journeys to rescue a princess, and fights a P.C. saftey zone gone wrong. With a helping paw from Chewie, the Post-Apocalypic Nomadic Warrior gives us a tale like none other. War, humor and slap stick comedy are only the start of how to describe this. I can't wait for what is to follow!

Tremendous series

To Whom It May Concern,
This three book series, The Duck and Cover Adventures, is by far the most entertaining and compelling post apocalyptic group of books I have ever listened to. I just downloaded book number four and am going to start it today. I could not recommend this series any more highly, a combination of excellent writing with humor that does not feel inappropriate or out of place, coupled with what I consider perfect narration of the material. The three book combo for one credit is an exceptional value.
With Regards,
Sam Thompson

Great book, great narration.

This series surprised me. I thoroughly enjoyed the first 3 books. Often funny, but still an apocalyptic story with all gruesome things that come with that world.

Perfect

From the humble beginnings to the storied end. I absolutely cannot wait for the next volume. The intense and detailed action mixes perfectly with the author's ability to twist bits of the real world into a characature of itself.

Amazing

Im an immense fan of Phil Thron's dulcet tones but I kept waffling about getting these books. What a fool I am. This series and Benjamin Wallace's style is another perfect fit for Phil's vocal ministrations. What a perfect blend of humour, action and suspense. This value packed bundle would be a deal at three times the price.

If you like your apocalypse with a bit of humor...

...then this series is for you. Good action comedies don't come along everyday. They're even harder to find with a post apocalyptic bent.
These books are short however, and maybe a bit steeply priced. As a rule, I wouldn't pay $14 for under 7 hrs of story. But as a bundle it's not so bad. Always something to keep in mind when selecting a series to buy into.

I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.

The writing is the best I've read in a long time, the narrator is great.

But...

I didn't get the ending I wanted or expected and I don't know if I want to continue reading the story.

Thanks for entertaining and traumatizing.

Dumbest ending ever, a waste of my time and money

Apparently the post apocalyptic warrior never learned how to double tap, it became a terrible error of story writing at the end.

Better than expected

I'm not usually a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction. But this series is really good. There's interesting characters and settings and it pokes fun at its own genre. Definitely worth a listen.
