About this listen

This book is set in a post-modern world that is broadly similar to our own, with various Nordic and Celtic influences. Society as we know it has long since vanished, the natural world has reasserted itself, so leaving behind just a few isolated pockets of human existence, teetering on the verge of extinction.

The interconnected stories in this book are diverse, and span several decades. They range from an adventure to find a fallen star, hunting a mythical beast, building up the settlement, and exploring the wider world. As with Peter’s first two novels, this book is part guide to survival, and part guide to homesteading and living off the land. This book is set just after the end of the first two, which converged at the end. All three books are told without specific dialogue, as if being recounted around a campfire by an old friend. This style of very descriptive storytelling also reflects the author’s preferred means of communication as an autistic person, being direct, detailed, and to the point.

Beautifully written, wonderfully narrated. I'm just sad they have come to an end. I loved the poem.

A fabulous 3rd book

Wow! what a cracking third book in this saga, the whole series has been an exciting education in survival and Homesteading as it says in the synopsis, as well as a fantastic listen. I don't know if there are any more planned by Peter but I certainly hope so. It's certainly amongst my top 3 serie's of 2025. Aubrey's narration was absolutely top notch as always. Can't recommend highly enough.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.

Best of the Best!
