Looking for a book (sure its been on ABB before), but cant remember much about it. Its a semi humorous fantasy book about  rednecks building a bomb shelter.....   and they have last laugh when it happens. Father and son, I think, and the shelters big. They ride bikes (quads ?) afterwards, searching for food and other survivors, and  people tickle in wanting to join them, including  policeman ?

I also think they may declare themselves a separate 'country' afterwards, and have a relative/friend who downloads just about everything from google and stores it for their use before it all happens.

That's about all I can remember
Any help would definitely be appreciated

Just goes to show how memories are like clouds, fluffy and  insubstantial.

I finally  managed to identify the book myself, and its not as I remember. Its text, not audio

If anyones slightly interested its called

Calizona: This ain't yer Daddy's apocalypse
https://www.amazon.com/Calizona-This-aint-Daddys-apocalypse-ebook/dp/B00GW5WIYI/ref=sr_1_135?dchild=1&qid=1601347279&refinements=p_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A6602147011&s=digital-text&sr=1-135

Now to try to find a copy of the book

Can not find any available downloads of any of the series, so if there are anyone out there with the series (yes I know its not audio) I would love  a copy

If you need the audio version of the book, you can make it yourself, using one of the TTS (Text-to-Speech) programs, some of them work surprisingly well. Also your computer and smartphone/tablet operating systems (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) can red text aloud, you just need to experiment a little.

UPDATE I have some other Ralph Rotten's ebooks if you are interested:
Rotten, Ralph - Memoirs of a Timelord (2015).epub
Rotten, Ralph - The Day Gravity Became Irrelevant (2018).epub

A mistake constantly made by those who should know better is to judge people of the past by our standards rather than their own. The only way men or women can be judged is against the canvas of their own time. —Louis L'Amour, Education of a Wandering Man
