About this listen

In a world reduced to ruins, survival demands more than just strength—it demands transformation.

When a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes Earth, modern life ends in an instant. Power grids fail. Communication collapses. Transportation halts. Within hours, the world descends into chaos—and the fragile threads of civilization begin to snap. What follows is a rapid descent into apocalyptic turmoil as society unravels and survival becomes a daily battle.

When the world falls apart, it's not the heroes who rise—it's the unexpected. Marty, a recovering addict, finds purpose in the remnants of a crumbling military, discovering what it truly means to fight—not just for survival, but for redemption. Benny and Becky, inseparable pre-teens suddenly orphaned, must navigate a brutal new reality where trust is scarce and innocence is a liability. And Al, facing a terminal diagnosis, embarks on one final journey—teaming up with Sophie, a young woman desperate to reunite with the family she’s lost.

Each must draw on hidden strengths and confront impossible choices as they face a world that offers no guarantees—only the hope that somewhere in the wreckage, humanity still endures.

Deprived of the technology we depend on daily; the elements of civilization will collapse like dominoes giving rise to a brutal, desperate landscape where people will be forced to make impossible choices. Together, they face a landscape stripped of mercy, where technology is useless, morality is tested, and the fight to stay human may be the hardest challenge of all.

Reset is a raw, riveting journey of resilience, unlikely bonds, and what endures when everything else falls away. From the author of Zombie Fallout and Indian Hill, Reset is a gripping tale of human resilience and connection in a darkly unrecognizable and unforgiving new world!

I'm a long time fan of Mark Tufo and his books centred around his main protagonist Michael Talbot, however this is a wholly new set of characters and plot line..... and I am loving it! I can't wait for book 2 😃

Great new story from Mark Tufo!

Really enjoyed the new story and I'm sure it'll be another great alien tale like Indian hill (and Distance). Narrator did a good job, but hard hearing beloved characters like BT (or hated ones like Vivian) not in Sean's voices. Looking forward to the next one!

Great book and classic Tufo story.

The story builds a set of characters that are a unique mix with children, adults and characters that I like, but personally I find the narrators voices for children and women are a little off putting and distracting. Somewhat stereotypical high pitch women and children ‘voices’ that are almost mocking

Loving the story but struggling with the narrator

what can I say? I wasn't to eager to listen to this book at first, but how could I not? and I was glad I did!
Narrator did a really good job, laughed out loud a few times and the sign of a good book I didn't want it to end.
