Special Agent Kendra Baker takes one final case, determined to find answers as people across the United States are going missing. Among those abducted is Valeria, daughter of ex-Marine Andrew Miller. Nothing and no one will prevent Andrew from finding Valeria, even if it means teaming up with a pair of strangers: Kendra and an unstable conspiracy theorist. But as a mysterious convergence of natural disasters threatens to destroy all life on earth, they’re running out of time. They have to work together to track down a reclusive billionaire who may have the answers behind the missing persons and the impending world-wide catastrophe.
I decided to peek into this series in large part due to Ray Porter, who is arguably my favourite audiobook narrator. As in the past, I’m glad I followed his voice: Final Days is a solid action-thriller that is fast-paced, mysterious, and intense. Part apocalyptic scenario and part conspiracy theory, the story is grounded by characters that are deeply engaging, and whose flaws and resilience bring them to life. I’m eager to continue this journey with them in the future.

This book starts with the world kind of going crazy, there are all kinds of disasters and the end times seem to be upon the people. Meanwhile a number of people are being kidnapped and this leads a father to investigate after his daughter is taken. So while this is an apocalypses book it also has very much a adventure or thriller type of vibe to it.
I was on the edge of my seat for much of the book. I started it this morning and could not put it down. I did not get any of the work I had planned today all because I thought oh I will read a bit of this in the morning then pick it up latter. Nope ran through it in one setting!
I read this book after reading Lost Contact by Nathan Hystad, I had really enjoyed that and wanted to check out another series of his before moving on to the sequels to that book. I have definitely found an author that I will be reading all of his books and I also need to go read some Jasper T Scott books as well. Its always a pleasure to find a new author, but to find two is a real treat.

I enjoyed the story very much. Especially, the mystery that I truly thought I had worked out. Then the end of the book blew my mind! An unusual series of events to say the very least! I recommend it and look forward to reading book 2 in this series.
