Forty years later, the pain of his personal tragedy still echoes within John Hopper. He retreats to the small town, Ripley, West Virginia, and is content being alone and in peace. He spends his evenings as an amateur podcast host, anonymously broadcasting rants about what is wrong with the world.
Through a faithful listener and scientist, Jarvis, John finds out about the impending comet impact, possibly, an extinction level event. With no beneficiary and ample time to prepare, John uses all his money to get everything he needs to survive the end of the world … alone. What John doesn’t realize is that meeting Yely, the problematic teenage girl who moved in next door, changes things.
All may not be as expected. John not only finds himself bringing people into his shelter, he learns that Ripley, the predicted safest place on earth, may very well become one of the worst places imaginable

I liked the storyline but I think that the beginning and the end was a little light and rushed. Also there were so many typos.
As usual, Jacqueline Druga writes a good storyline with great characters and realistic scenes. I really enjoyed John and his friends working out how to survive the unfolding disaster. And I especially loved the location of the story as it is just down the road from my town.
I love the characters in the storyline. John is my favorite character. You go through all the feels about him. I loved the arc of the story as it is, to me, what if. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
John was a bitter old man who, forty years ago, had lost his whole family by the hands of a madman. Yely was a sad young girl dealing with an alcoholic, floosy of a mother. Then the rain of comet fragments came down. John, who had started a podcast where he could anonymously complain about anything and everything, did manage to find a friend in England who had sources warning him of the comet which he shared with John. So John prepared, and Javis left for West Virginia, supposedly a safe place to be from the tsunami, earthquakes and firestorms from the comets arrival. But the comet was early and brought about 27 friends along. The earth was in for a 300 day long age before the sun reappeared. Unlikely comrades brave the elements and try to survive. Jackie always brings touching drama, and humor, to her apocalypse stories, another great book. Loved it!
John isn’t your typical apocalyptic hero, and you’ll love him all the more for it. As for the book itself, I found this to be a more realistic apocalyptic scenario/storyline. It was so well written and researched. The characters grew so much in this short book. It takes a true storyteller to make the people come alive and make you miss them when the last page is finished.
I expect more from Druga. Not only were there typos, incorrect sentence structures, etc, at one point the wrong name entirely was used. I liked the story, especially John’s growth, but better proofreading is needed.
This is a good one! Minimal spelling & grammar errors, good storyline, interesting characters, and a unique premise made this a great story to read.
Another great book by this author. I love this genre especially when it doesn’t go off on political rants as too many authors do these days. Awesome writer, awesome story, great and fully developed characters, great read.
