Freezing Point: A Post-Apocalyptic Disaster Saga (After the Shift Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Grace Hamilton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 484 ratings
In the dawn of a new Ice Age, families everywhere are taking to the road to escape the frigid landscape—but you can’t outrun the cold.

No one could have predicted the terrifying impact of human interference in the Arctic. Shifts in the Earth's crust have led to catastrophe and now the North Pole is located in the mid-Atlantic, making much of the eastern United States an unlivable polar hellscape.

Nathan Tolley is a talented mechanic who has watched his business dry up due to gas shortages following the drastic tectonic shifts. His wife Cyndi has diligently prepped food and supplies, but it’s not enough to get them through a never-ending winter. With an asthmatic young son and a new baby on the way, they’ll have to find a safe place they can call home or risk freezing to death in this harsh new world.

When an old friend of Nathan’s tells him that Detroit has become a paradise, with greenhouses full of food and plenty of solar energy for everyone, it sounds like the perfect place to escape. But with dangerous conditions and roving gangs, getting there seems like an impossible dream. It also seems like their only choice.

Prepper survivalist author Grace Hamilton invites you to step into a post-apocalyptic, EMP-ravaged world filled with strong, resourceful characters, survivalist knowledge, and edge-of-your seat action.

FREE EMP Survival Story

An EMP hits—would you have what it takes to survive?

https://dl.bookfunnel.com/iqaxgssjz4

Grace Hamilton is the prepper pen-name for a bad-ass, survivalist momma-bear of four kids, and wife to a wonderful husband. After being stuck in a mountain cabin for six days following a flash flood, she decided she never wanted to feel so powerless or have to send her kids to bed hungry again. Now she lives the prepper lifestyle and knows that if SHTF or TEOTWAWKI happens, she’ll be ready to help protect and provide for her family.

Combine this survivalist mentality with a vivid imagination (as well as a slightly unhealthy day dreaming habit) and you get a prepper fiction author. Grace spends her days thinking about the worst possible survival situations that a person could be thrown into, then throwing her characters into these nightmares while trying to figure out "What SHOULD you do in this situation?"

It’s her wish that through her characters, you will get to experience what life will be like and essentially learn from their mistakes and experiences, so that you too can survive!

    I do NOT want a frozen world as an apocalyptic scenario. Actually I don't want a super hot desert wasteland either. Obviously I am a weather wimp. Give me an EMP instead, LOL. Good story and I can't wait to read the next book.

    This book was pretty darn good. The plot was written pretty well and the characters were likable. Could have drawn out the characters q little more so we knew more about them. Though, the teens weren't telling much.
    I really liked the story line. What I didn't like were the many misspelling of words, using the wrong word in a sentence, such as, " she is hear. Not she is here.
    Also, characters changed genders from sentence to sentence at times. Cyndi changed into a he or him a couple times, Tony was pronounced a girl in one sentence that just said he was Nathan's son.
    This made it hard to read at first then I got used to it and was able to read through.
    Overall the pace was fast, kept my attention and, I'll read the next book to find out what happens. Poor Nathan, I hope he lives.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019

    Nathan Tolley and his wife, Cyndi live with their son in Glen Falls, New York. Nathan is a mechanic and tow truck driver like his father before him.

    The world hasn't been the same since the Earth's crust shifted eight years ago and now the North pole is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, throwing a good portion of Canada, the U.S. and Europe into perpetual winter, so bad it might even be an extinction event.

    The weather and raiders cause Nathan, his pregnant wife, son and a family friend heading away from Glen Falls towards DETROIT! Yep, that Detroit. A friend of Nathan's told him that Detroit was prepared for the constant winter and after much encouragement from his wife, the group heads to Detroit. Along the way they pick up a motley crew of survivors that travels with them.

    First of all, I couldn't stand Nathan's character. His wife is a strong character but he is an indecisive, gutless wonder. Yes, he did start to grow a backbone as the story progressed but still wasn't a favorite of mine.

    I liked many of the side characters and the descriptions of the cold and frozen countryside had me putting on a sweatshirt. Brrr...

    The book WAS good enough that I am now off to read the second book in the series KILLING FROST.

    It was very interesting but it was also a little hard to read. I’m not sure what made harder to read. I never thought it would be so hard to travel in snow and ice but it was all very real.

    this novel took some time to get going, seemed to drag in the beginning. However, once it got moving it was great. The second book in the series is fantastic!!! read that in one day, I'm on the third one now, and it's great as well.

    3.0 out of 5 stars OK Entry in Post-Apocalypse Genre
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Not a bad entry in the "Post-Apocalypse Journey" genre. Here, the apocalypse is Super-Winter in the northeast USA due to fast climate change and a shift in the polar axis. Not a lot of effort is made to explain the causes. Just as well. Saves a lot of pseudo-science and techno-babble that wouldn't convince many readers anyway. The story is about the survivors, their decisions, and their journey. This is not great literature, and there are some errors of fact and writing. But I found the story pretty compelling. Some of the characters and the action are a bit over the top, but that's kind of expected in this genre. I'm interested in how characters in this kind of story make their decisions. Trying to make plans in critical situations, with a lot of different considerations and little reliable information, is really challenging. Especially with health and injury problems. Whether to stay home or go, where to go, how to travel, balancing risks and rewards, are all interesting decisions. I can't really judge characters decisions too easily, as I'm not sure what I would do in such situations. I was able to connect with several of the characters, and that makes this a good read for me.

    This story teaches you what to do in an epic emergency. And what not to as well. The world building is strong enough to give you frostbite. And the characters are frosty. Except for the odd one that’s too hot! Nathan is turning out to be a curmudgeon. A very worthwhile novel if you’re into chill.
