Unlike the previous two volumes, there's no energy to most of the stories. Monolithic, grey, oppressive, even predictable. Came here for a Johnathan Maberry story and really couldn't sit through the rest.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story had potential but overlapped and switched scenes abruptly. Actor performances were uninspired. Audio production was terrible to the detriment of the actors and authors

Good story. Terrible narration.
Revisado: 08-13-24
Came to this from "Joe Ledger: Unbreakable," and a crossover story written by BTS and performed by Ray Porter. Was hoping for so much more with this title.
The writing is good. Characters are unique and well defined. The portrayal of the characters and dialogue is engaging and a strong point. However....
What the story and characters bring, the performance of the narration and exposition between dialogue is terrible and distracting. It sounds so rushed that I checked to make sure my playback was not set faster than normal. It sounds like a convention of run on sentences without the helpful pause of punctuation. Frequently the narration jumps scenes within a chapter and you're not aware until 3 sentences later.

Quincy Harker needs a vacation, but there's no peace to be found in the usually sleepy seaside resort of North Carolina's Outer Banks. No, there's a serial killer stalking the streets of Manteo, and there's even more to the crimes than usual. Add in a heavily warded cemetery with hints of magic long thought to have vanished from the earth, a mystery centuries in the making, and a string of horrifyingly realistic nightmares plaguing Rebecca Flynn, Harker's fiancee, and our boy isn't getting any rest or relaxation. But he is getting the one thing he's really, really good at handling—a fight.

Enjoyable but no new ground.
Revisado: 07-13-24
It's all the familiar hits you expect in a Quincy F'N Harker book. There's a big bad, demons, Luke, Becks, Faustus, and Glory. Like comfort food for the ears.
Biggest complaint? Seen "Hot Fuzz?" Not enough of a lift to ruin the story but enough to be distracting.

Written from a Christian constitutional worldview, American Meltdown, Book Two of The Economic Collapse Chronicles uses dystopian fiction to take an in-depth look at the economic and political trends that have taken America to the edge of bankruptcy. The book assesses the current course of the nation and projects it into the near future. In Book Two, America has entered into a full scale financial meltdown. The members of the Bair family do the best they can to navigate a complete currency collapse and the social disruptions that come with it.

The Articles of Conferde...meh
Revisado: 12-18-21
Yes, the Founders were Christian. Yes, there are great point and paths of advice in the Bible. Yes, guns can be a necessity in self-protection.
But, there are many honest, hard-working, and patriotic Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Unitarians, and atheists. The God of the Christian Bible is the God of Abraham and thus Jews and Muslims. So much evil done by all His Children in His Name, He probably wants left out of politics.
As for the story. The Constitution was written by imperfect men trying to replace the Articles of Confederation, a system that did not work. Having states not be accountable to a superior authority vested with the consent of those states is a recipe for civil war. Going back to the period between the end of the Revolution and before the Constitution is a bad idea and a bad story.

Liberty minded individuals and those who believe in the Constitution will find this near future dystopian novel to be right up their alley. Those who are looking to be more informed about the potential threats to America's financial stability will learn what to watch for and how to prepare themselves for an economic collapse. America is on the cusp of financial annihilation. Matt and Karen Bair face the challenges of Main Street during a full scale financial meltdown. Government borrowing and monetary creation have reached their limits.

Typical "Patriot," fever-dream
Revisado: 12-18-21
First, there is good advice about surviving an economic apocalypse. Advice that applies to a large-scale as well as a personal financial meltdown. Saving, controlled spending, supplemental gardening are all ways we can deal with and delay a monetary disruption.
Now, for the story: Typical anti-federal gun lust. Typical pro-Christian condemnation of a secular government as prescribed by the First Amendment. The story also has the usual holes of ignoring what the Constitution actually says. One cannot claim to be a strict constitutionalist and then ignore the outcome of the process prescribed by the Founders.

The news is full of disturbing events today. There's war and rumors of war. There's the false recovery of the economy. Faith in the US economy is extremely low. Foreign banks have either slowed their purchases of Treasury Bonds or, in a few cases, begun unloading them. We have a current election that is rife with corruption, extreme partisanship, and outright fraud. It would appear the left in the country is ready to do about anything to see their candidate elected.

Almost ever single tired white right-wing conspiracy trope and a rip-off of the "A-Team,"
Unbelievable characters, poor plot, predictable situations. It does nothing to further preparedness or the genre of political fiction.

Porter: 5 Stars as always.
Story is over the top, filled with clichés and inconsistencies in the plot. Nice page time for Top and Bunny. The B-plot of Mirror, Mirror needed more development. Too many "easy" resolutions.
