WHEN EVERYTHING'S BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU, SOMETIMES THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS RUN.
Chris’s life of luxury is gone, devastated by the collapse of the European economy. Huddled in a small room with his petrified ten-year-old son, Chris made the decision to stay in his lavish and once cherished home. Gas, water, and electricity are all cut off; his wife and daughter have gone, and food is running out.
Driven by the need to survive, Chris has decided to keep secrets from his son. Secrets that will make everything else up until this point seem trivial. Secrets that—one way or another—will come out before the day is done.
Cowering in his home, he watches as his neighbours are dragged into the street and brutally executed by a small army of psychotic scavengers hell-bent on making the formerly privileged pay. As they methodically purge each home, Chris realizes that staying was the worst decision of his life. Secrets or not, he has to act fast; the murderous pack only has one more house before they reach his…

What the reviewers say
“There are a quite a few adjectives I could use to describe Crash frightening, graphic, raw, disturbing... and wonderfully written and brilliantly compelling! But let’s hope it isn’t prophetic! The book really is a great read, and the first time I read it, I couldn’t put it down - simply had to finish it.” Mark Hooper, Angel Editing.
This is an incredible novel with extreme social/political relevance which took a lot of guts to produce.
I like this book a lot. It's not one of those books that plays the game of being nice, it's dark, decisive and hard edged.
Well written and suspenseful. Gritty and barbaric.
This book, though not for the faint of heart, is excellent.

I like post-apocalyptic books, and I get that they're going to be dark and harsh. But...this one felt like it was written by a man who wasn't allowed to swear as a child, and who simply decided to unload all of the pent up language into his books.Yes, I get that in a world like that, swearing isn't going to be that uncommon. Heck, it isn't uncommon now. But I honestly felt like story development was ignored for the sake of dropping as many f-bombs as possible.
The characters are one-dimensional, and you don't really find yourself caring if anyone survives other than the dog. And that was not a pleasant part of the book...skip the book if you like animals at all.

Crash Book One A Dark PostApocalyptic Tale eBook Michael Robertson Reviews
I just finished this book, and I feel sick. I feel sick because I believe this is what would truly happen if a worldwide financial crisis occurred, something we barely avoided in 2008. Right now, in the US--and apparently in the UK as well--the country is run by the richest of the rich who have bought the media and politicians to get even richer. As they get more, the rest of us get less and less. How long until a revolution happens? It is inevitable. The only way "we can get our country back" is probably through war. The rich have security and places to run to, but they make up 1% of the population and the rest of us will eventually find them. The poor and marginalized, who have somehow been blamed for the state of the world, will survive to get revenge. They fight every day to survive, so when the end comes, they will be far more prepared to fight than the pampered rich. And they will be ruthless. Why shouldn't they? The rich have been nothing but ruthless with the rest of us, taking what little we have for their own and leaving us with breadcrumbs.
This book had extreme violence, which I believe is an accurate portrayal of what would occur in this situation. Just as the rich got drunk on power, the poor will get drunk on revenge. There are evil people out there who are currently held back by the veneer of civilization. When civilization is gone, there will be nothing to stop them. They will get their revenge and more because there will be no one to stop them--unless people like George, good people in terrible circumstances, stop them. People like George are the hope for the rest of us. We will all have to decide what side to take--George's or Dean's. Is torture and killing justified, as it is by Dean, who was one of the 99% and now sees his chance for power? There are still good people around, but do good people stand a chance against violence and insanity? Good people will have to become just as violent to survive. Will they still be good people?
Will a worldwide financial crisis happen? As described in the book, when things start to get bad, people in power look out for themselves. They don't do what's right for the world; they do what is right for them. Unmitigated greed will eventually lead to this. How could it not? People are already dying all around the world because they don't have enough to eat and wars are being fought over resources.
Will this happen? I hope not. I would hope people would open their eyes and do the right things before we reach this point, but, somehow, I doubt that. Hope is represented in the book by Michael. George let him survive. He may be damaged beyond repair, but he survived and he is a good person, but will what he experienced change him? Who knows? People react differently to horrible circumstances. If there is to be a future, people like Michael will be the ones to lead us forward. We have to hope enough of them survive to make it possible.
Set in the near future following collapse of society after money became worthless; this was a very difficult book to read because it is so dark and depressing. The book is definitely not for the faint of heart or the squeamish.
Chris used to be filthy rich (he has two Ferraris) but there are no rich anymore. Some psychos come into his gated community and loot for food, violently murder the men and boys and take the women to use later. The leader is particularly disturbed. They go through the houses one by one. Chris and his son Michael are in the third house. Tension builds as the looters go through the first and second house (and their occupants) before finally arriving at Chris’ house. The book does not end happily.
This is a true horror novel. We all know there are no such things as vampires or monsters, but unfortunately, there are far too many people who value cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
This is a post-apocalyptic story where the world's economy has crashed. Running water and electricity are gone, as are food deliveries to the local supermarkets and all forms of government. That has forced some people to resort to being barbarians who raid peoples houses and kill them out of some warped sense of vengeance because they blame the 1% for destroying the world as we know it.
Now I will admit that the story is good, but it has way too much violence in it. I love books that have violence in them, but this was too much even for my tastes. I mean do I really need to read like 5 pages about how a guy is trying to run over a child's head with his car while the kid is still alive for no reason other than he's really messed up in the head? Or another 5 pages about how he brutally tortures and beats the living daylights out of a dog? Seriously, who wants to read about that? Maybe you do, but I don't! That's just the author trying to be shocking in order to keep us reading his books.
Overall the concept is pretty interesting, and it's one that I feel could realistically happen. The world's economy could collapse and we could really be in trouble. That makes me want to keep reading and find out more about what happens next in this series, but the author really needs to tone down the violence. You don't have to be shockingly graphic and violent just to get your reader's attention, you just have to tell a good story.
I'm conflicted about this one. Read at your own risk.
I like post-apocalyptic books, and I get that they're going to be dark and harsh. But...this one felt like it was written by a man who wasn't allowed to swear as a child, and who simply decided to unload all of the pent up language into his books.
