I read this originally on Royal Road, after bingeing the Apocalypse Parenting books 1-3. This book begins at the same time as book #1 and ends shortly after book #3, and is told from the the POV of Vince, Meghan's husband. I loved this story. It doesn't have the parenting interactions of the main series, but is instead all about the engineering, teamwork and courage of a group of coworkers, struggling to survive and return home after a world wide apocalypse, brought on by an alien system.

Fabulous Lit-RPG at its best.
