A starving city. A renegade bootlegger. A battle for the future of mankind.

Zeke is a bad guy. He didn’t choose to be. It’s just who he is. It’s who he has to be to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where trust is as scarce as water.

He's got nobody. No family. No friends. And he left behind the woman he loved for her own good.

But it's time to change. After a brush with death far out in the wasteland, he decides he's done risking his life to help his greedy bosses control who gets to drink water and when.

Now, he's stranded in a bar in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the perfect kind of ruffians who can help him go back and make things right. Armed with renewed purpose and a one-of-a-kind muscle car, Zeke hunts for redemption, seeks retribution and, maybe, just maybe, he can get his girl back while he’s at it.

Take a ride across the wasteland in Tom Abrahams' newest post-apocalyptic, dystopian series, but with a fantasy twist. It will leave you wondering just what it means to be human.

It's perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Hugh Howey, and Stephen King's The Dark Tower.

A Completely Unique Post-Apocalyptic Tale

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

A fair warning. I’m going to try my hardest to not spoil this book but I fear that will be impossible. Abrahams wrote a story that has something in the middle of it that really defines the book. And it’s really hard to write a review without talking about that point. I don’t even want to say what the story reminded me of because saying that sort of gives it away.

The Bar At The End of the World will be both familiar and different for those of you who are used to Abrahams’ other stories. Sure, it’s a post-apocalyptic world. But it’s completely different than his other stories. The main issue in this apocalypse is water… or the lack of it. There are two rival factions who control, distribute, and bootleg water to the people left. That is where most of the similarities go out the window (though I will say that once we meet Uriel she did remind me a bit of a darker version of another character from another story that Abrahams wrote).

So, here’s where I would talk about the part of the story that really shocked me, but I can’t without spoiling it. Let me say that it had one of those Fight Club-like reveals to it. Once you know that (spoiler alert for Fight Club) the narrator and Tyler Durden are the same person and you re-watch Fight Club it’s a completely different movie). Once I found out the big reveal that Abrahams wrote into The Bar At The End of the World I was like, well I probably should have seen it coming but I didn’t.

The story itself is one about redemption, love, loss, and a bunch of other issues that make us human. Just know if you liked Abrahams’ other books, you’ll enjoy this one. But if you’re looking for a post-apocalyptic tale that’s unlike anything I’ve ever read (and I’ve read a lot of PA books) then this one will really be for you.

Overall, I thought that Abrahams wrote a fantastic book that really provided me with tons of entertainment but also a fair amount of shock and awe. One that I won’t forget for some time. One that I can’t wait to see what else happens in this world.

Ezekiel Watson was a dead man. And he fights on, to restore the balance.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Completely intriguing, every action producing a response, every response leading to a goal. If only he knew what the goal was. He still had his impressive Plymouth Superbird, and now he had this oversized six gun with a nasty kick. And he could die. Again. End up back in the Bar At The End of The World. Still clueless. Still alive, sort of, to find his redemption.

Whimsical characters and a storyline premised on the Balance brought humor to the dire consequences of actions performed and perceived. I enjoyed the confusion and direction of the story. Altogether brilliant writing. This book kept me up a couple nights, and I loved it! I just preordered the next in this series, and picked up another work by this amazing author. I knew the author of the Travellers series would have more brilliant work, and I was not disappointed!

How did he get away from them?

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

Zeke is a runner, not drugs, not guns, but water. In our near future, water and food are scarce. The general population waits in lines on different days for different things. The people now in control basically brought down the old system of government and live in their high towers. Zeke is running from the rest of the Tick gang. The ticks try to suck a little life via water from the normal way of things. But he double crossed them and now is on the run. He left a note for his girlfriend and ran. He drives out into the wastelands and now the wastelanders are on him like the hounds of hell. He is shot up but barely makes it to a bar at the side of road.

When he wakes up, he seems like he is okay. Nobody will give him a straight answer and Pedro the barkeep is the worst of all. Why is he safe? Who are these other people (including Pedro)? And why do they want to help him save his girlfriend?

I was blown away by this book. I love all of Tom's books and characters, so can't say I have a favorite, but was always leaning towards Marcus Battle. BUT...Zeke! O.M.G! He's naive but smart, waifish but sexy, confused but centered, just so many aspects to this guy. The supporting characters are amazing in their own ways, no two alike. I was drawn into the story from the start and thought I knew where it was headed...WRONG! Full of twists and turns. A must-read. Have already pre-ordered the next in the series. Don't miss out on this one!

Good writing and characters, "balance" is preposterous

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

The writing was good, the characters were interesting, the world and its conflicts and players were all compelling, and the story surprised and pulled me in. No spoilers here, but there is a concept of "balance" between good and evil that is central to the story. And although the story was mostly about suppressing evil, the central "balance" concept implies there can be too much good, that would likewise need to be reigned in. An overabundance of good that needs to be suppressed to bring balance. I can't get past that lunacy. Down to three stars for that reason alone.

Last call for Post-Apoc fans!

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Tom Abrahams gives us a ride into the surreal wasteland of post-apocalyptic America that's rich in vivid imagery, characters and intrigue. It's a bountiful bonus to have Jonathan Davis pour out the saga. Here we're met with Zeke who's running from both the government and the water bootleggers known as the Tick. Having left the love of his life to their untender mercies, he finds refuge in a literal middle of nowhere bar that serves as a sanctuary for all who cross its threshold. Afterward, he teams up with a mysterious tatooed girl and band of equally tight-lipped muscle men to go find his lost love. Straightforward so far, except that nothing is about any of the players is what it seems. Buckle up and join the start of The Watchers series. It's going to be a dangerous trip.

Don't read the reviews for this book!

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

Tom Abrahams is quickly becoming a recognized writer in the post-apocalyptic genre. And that's what this book feels like...at first. And then there's a twist! If you don't read the reviews below you won't see it coming, which really ratchets up the adrenaline.

As always, Abrahams' characters are completely fleshed out with bits of their backstory carefully revealed without dragging down the pacing of the story. The action is fast-paced and often surprising. A perfect read.

Looking forward to more visits to Pedro's bar!

An absolutely great first book in a series, I got Mad Max vibes from it but I don't mean it's like it; it's a completely unique post-apocalyptic story in it's own right and I highly recommend it.

I'm looking forward to the next book. 👌

I really love the story and the characters. So much so that I bought the following two books in the series.

A word of warning: Be prepared for a twist that will come out of the left field.
