The Incredible True Story of the Making of the Eve of Destruction Audiobook (Free)

Arkansas, 1984: The city of Griffin Level is known for nearly nothing apart from its nuclear missile silos. MAD-Mutually Assured Destruction-is a fear every local lives with and attempts to ignore. However that’s impossible now that film moguls have picked Griffin Level as the location for a fresh nuclear holocaust film, aptly titled The Eve of Devastation. When sixteen-year-old Laura Ratliff wins a walk-on role (using a plus-one!) thanks to a radio call-in competition, she is even more relieved than about The Incredible True Story from the Making from the Eve of Devastation excited. Mingling with Hollywood celebrities on the set of a phony nuclear battle is a perfect distraction from being the only kid in her real nuclear family-which in addition has been annihilated. Her parents are divorced, and her mom has remarried. Her father, an officer in the Strategic Atmosphere Command, can be absent…except when he cell phones at odd hours to hint at an impending catastrophe. But isn’t that his work? Laura’s only friend is her new stepbrother, Terrence. She picks him as her plus-one for the film capture, enraging her fair-weather close friends. But their anger is certainly nothing compared to what goes on on set following the scripted nuclear explosion. Because no one seems to know if a real nuclear bomb offers detonated or not.
