Early Evidence Profile
This collection of EMP survival fiction begins with *Hideaway*, following James and Marla Weller, an ordinary couple living in a St. Their routine is shattered when an aerial blast triggers a massive blackout. At a gas station, James discovers that the failure extends beyond the power grid: cars and cell phones are also disabled. When he learns that Marla is working downtown amid reports of a bomb threat, he must find a way across the stricken city to reach her. His journey unfolds as a wider evacuation begins, raising the urgent question of whether the couple can reunite and escape the danger closing in around them.
In *Blackout*, an EMP bomb has destroyed the electrical grid across the United States. Georgie Fitz heads to her estranged father’s cabin in the Rocky Mountains with her boyfriend and his family, hoping to find refuge. Instead, they discover that survivalists have already established a camp there, while Georgie’s father is missing. As she faces the camp’s rules and an unfamiliar new reality, Georgie must determine whether she can adapt, uncover what happened to her father, and find a place in the group.
Evidence Confidence
Why this matters →- The book itself is well identified and supported across independent sources.
- We still have limited information tied to this exact recording or edition.
- We don’t yet have enough narrator-specific commentary to characterize the performance.
There is useful independent information about the book itself, though some story details are still supported more clearly than others. The Limited label reflects what we still don’t know about this particular audiobook recording—not a lack of information about the book.

What this means
Unique evidence records that remain after filtering and deduplication. The larger evidence-signal total shown below can be higher because one retained record may support several separate facts or observations.
Source groups 2
What this means
Separate reviews, forums, interviews, or conversations, with duplicates kept from inflating the total.
Networks 6
What this means
Different platforms and publications represented in the research behind this page.
What this means
Performance evidence that can actually describe how this narrator sounds or performs this recording. Identity records, narrator biographies, sample links, and awards are useful context but do not count here on their own.
Supporting sources 2
What this means
Sources tied to the audiobook recording itself, such as verified product or catalog records that help resolve narrator, runtime, format, release information, or stable recording identifiers.
What this means
The most recent date this page’s saved evidence picture was refreshed and checked.
A larger evidence pool gives us more to work with, but volume alone does not make a conclusion stronger. Relevance and independence still matter.
Narrator Experience
What we can responsibly verify about the narrator and this recording.
How we build this section
The narrator credit can be shown, but a performance description waits for qualified recording-specific commentary or a verified analyzable excerpt.

Evidence behind this section
Counts describe support for this narrator/recording, not a quality score.Why we describe the performance this way
We use evidence tied specifically to this recording. Repeated observations across independent sources carry more weight than isolated comments. Narrator background and career recognition can add useful context, but they do not determine how this performance is described.

Our Take
The collection promises straightforward, high-stakes survival storytelling: a couple racing through a disabled city, and a young woman confronting unfamiliar rules at a remote refuge. It should appeal to listeners who enjoy practical post-apocalyptic danger, family or relationship-driven stakes, and extended immersion in a disaster scenario. Story-level pacing and tone lean intense, but the available material does not support a confident assessment of character depth, production, or Ramona Master’s performance.
