At a remote site in Minnesota, filmmaker Kurt Carpenter has built a secure compound and invited a select group of people to bunker down until the worst is over.

Great concept and enjoyable story
I really enjoyed it, and was thrilled to know that there was a second book. But a warning...the second book takes place 100 years in the future, but was written by the author in 1986 and has 28 books in that series. Star Wars type deal. Both books are good (although second is a bit dated with super cheese macho dialog). But the second does not really talk about many of the characters from the first book that you want to know about. So I can only hope that Mr. Robbins is planning some books that take place between the two. I am having surgery and will have 6-8 off from work so maybe I'll read the other 27 books! :)
Didn't live up to its expectations
I thought the idea of the story was great. But the author would go into detail on some things but then skip over major plot lines. It also had no ending .. and part two was a totally stand alone book so there really was no ending.
Doomsday 1
Started out good, but got weird at end. No conclusion yet and I assume there are sequels.
Prequel for the Endworld series
Most of you may not be familiar with this series or its author but I have read this series since I was around 12 years old. It remains one of my cherished childhood memories sitting by the pool with a new Endworld and reading it straight through. I did a lot of book reports growing up on Endworld and the dystopian future it revealed. I remember even writing an essay about if the apocalypse could possibly happen in this way. Needless to say I love this series and for those who are confused about characters and why it stops where it does just find the series in paperback (they have the first four on audible and eBook format) and give it a read. You'll understand that this book was just the foundation of what was to come. Another book "A girl, the end of the world and everything" is also part of this universe. It all builds upon characters that are known in a series called Endworld, that is 28 books ongoing as of now. Love this series and everything in it!
Barely worth the time(Trying to avoid spoilers)
What was most disappointing about David Robbinss story?
The premise has merit but the execution of the initial plot lines is awful. It starts like most End Of Civilization stories with things going from bad to worse as you meet the main characters. But as each one finds themselves in the expected tough situation cliffhanger, it just ends there! You find out a few chapters later that this character or that one arrived safely..Ummmmm OK. Great.
As it progresses it just gets..strange. It seems that most of the main characters are a bit...odd.
