Summary
How to Host an Intervention
Long before he was a knight in the apocalypse, Tommy was preparing for the end of the world. His friends grew concerned for his well-being and planned to intervene. It wasn’t so much that he was preparing, it was what he was preparing for.
Gone to The Dogs
Fidget and Sasquatch were loyal companions to the end. Now that the end has arrived, they must say goodbye to the only home they’ve ever known. If they can figure out how to open the door.
Bunked Up
They took refuge in a homemade bomb shelter when the end of the world began. There they were safe from the bombs and the fallout. But they were never safe from each other.
Pack Hunters
Fidget and Sasquatch are on their own, a situation neither of them are really comfortable with. They decide to join a pack for safety, for food and for friends. Now all they have to do is find one.
Animal’s Calling
Before the world ended, Jackson drifted from job to job, never settling on anything that could be called a career path. But with the new world comes new opportunities. This is what he was born to do.
Last Band of The Apocalypse
Caught between county fair gigs during the apocalypse, the members of a cover band find themselves the last band left in the world. Getting gigs should be easy. Should be.
Prisoner’s Dilemma
The Librarian has seen his fair share of “wasteland justice.” Now he’s chained to the floor of a grocery store with a man he must face in court. In a battle to the death. Naturally.
Alpha Dog
Sergeant Satan was genetically enhanced to be the world’s best military scout. He was designed to be smarter, faster and more than a match for any dog this side of the apocalypse. Of course, his creators had never met Fidget.
The Trial of Harmeggedon
They’ve got a new name. They’ve got a new act. And they are ready to rock your face off. Now all the last band in the world needs is a gig.
Willie and Coy Ride Again
Willie and Coy aren’t the brightest. Or the best looking. Or very likeable. No one would ever accuse them of being hard workers. But the pair have found a way to make an honest living in the apocalypse. If they can get enough people to watch.
In a Person Pack
Tired of looking for a pack to join, Sasquatch and Fidget reminisce about the joys and delights of life in a people pack.
No Quarter
Deep in the swamp of New Orleans awaits a terror many refuse to believe exists. It’s a monster of myth and rumor so horrible that it could not possibly be real. On the trail of a kidnapped woman, The Librarian must seek out and confront this monster of myth.
Eve of The Apocalypse
Man is the true monster. Unless there is a man who is a monster that also makes monsters.

Apocalyptic Tales of an Unusual Kind
Excellent short tales from the Post Apocalyptic mastermind, Ben Wallace. Some nice tie in tales with Jerry and Chewie and one does wonder if we will meet some of the new Characters again, perhaps the skilled female Nomadic Warrior and her K9 pack will run into Jerry in the future. Another fantastic book, if you enjoyed the 4 initial Duck and Cover Nomadic Warrior books and can't wait for the forthcoming 5th book, then this will help pass the time with ease.

An interesting take on the end of the world
At first i thought this was just a lot of short stories, but i liked how they weaved into a cohesive whole. Some reviews promised side splitting fun. it was amusing but not quite that funny. Probably says more about my type of humour.
i enjoyed the listen and would recommend.

lovely little addition to the duck & cover series
loved these tales you can see how they fit into the other books and gave more background and landscape to the Duck and Cover Post Apocalyptic world.
As usual done with a humour to each tale.

Brilliant collection
This was a very entertaining collection of tales. It had just the right balance of humour and scary situation. Also enough swearing to make it realistic, and brilliant read in a dead pan voice. Definitely recommended to anyone who knows human nature and doesn't take life too seriously.

Disappointing
Maybe the problem is that the narrator is American. He has a voice which gets in the way of the narrative, and the pronunciation of tomato, for example rankles with the British ear.
I ended up listening out for the annoying mispronunciations, rather than listening to the story.
Buy the book.
if you must.
