He seems to lean left in this book.

Revisado: 02-25-24

I read the first book years ago. It’s didn’t seem political at all just historical. In the opening chapter of this book their is lots of talk of democracy. We don’t have a democracy we have a republic. He also doesn’t know or understand our Constitutional Republic. These are historical factors that play into the turnings. That being said, I think he is incorrect in what’s coming. But I but I still believe in American exceptionalism and that we will come out with our Republic.

Trying to decide.

Revisado: 10-28-23

I’ve just finished part one. It was a frenetic mess. Trying to decide whether to go on, skip chapters or ask for my credit back. I hate everything the circle represents and the useful idiots it empowers. Welcome the Borg.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 09-20-19

I enjoyed volume 1 but #2 not so much. The pace is really slow. I read this genre a lot and was looking forward to the hybrid aspects of this series. I’m about halfway through and am considering returning the book. I’m not sure why I should care about how much these men love their wives. Certainly not over multiple chapters of endless discussion. We need more action , less soul searching. Spoiler alert- save the Russian mafia for a separate series.
I have listened to Kevin Pierce on many occasions and have loved his work. Not this time. The two main male characters sound exactly alike. I had to listen to several sections twice to make sure who was speaking.

Great book

Revisado: 11-17-18

I love Granny Reid. We need more love and caring and cleverness like hers. A smart heroine with compassion and good teaching for her grandkids but not a push over. The publishers summary was written by someone who had not read the book. I listened to a sample from my library. Glad I did because it was from the prologue not the middle of the book like Audible. I fell in love with Granny immediately. Can not wait for the next one. BTW I have not read the Savanah Reid books but started listening to the samples looking for more Granny. I was very disappointed. The Savanah from this book does not seem likely to grow up to be that woman. I guess we will see. Loved the narrator , Mil Nicholson- amazing!!!

I’m disappointed

Revisado: 05-10-18

I have read most of the books in this series. I really enjoyed the first several books but as the series has progressed the adolescent locker room talk has become tiresome. I know the focus market for this series is guys but they are not the only readers of this genre. I really don’t know why these characters can’t be heroes and gentlemen as least occasionally.

Why so short?

Revisado: 01-20-18

I have enjoyed the first two books but why not make it a total two books or even one? I read a lot of books in this genre and this one is ok. The continuity is not great and we don’t get any usable cold weather survival info. And what about the awesome natural medicine used by Jax to heal lungs and gunshots, no info there either. I also find it hard to believe that “modern “ cold weather survival gear from the year 2030 doesn’t provide protection from the cold better than animal hides. The characters are not really compelling enough to make me need to know what happens. I’m curious about book three but I have a rule about spending a credit on a book less than 5 hrs long. The first two were really too short. Total time for all three is less than 17hrs. Could have easily been two books and I would have felt less cheated.

Have read them all.

Revisado: 07-27-17

This has been an interesting series. Most apocalyptic series don't get this far into the "recovery ". My only complaint is that as we have moved forward the antics of the men have become adolescent at times. Do I know that this stuff happens in every locker room in The world? Yes. Do I want to read about it? No. This stuff isn't advancing the story line. The characters are established already. Making them seem less that the heros that they are is sad. We all would need stress relief in a situation like these characters have everyday but find a better way.

Too much and not enough

Revisado: 05-13-17

I'm not new to teotwawki stories they comprise about 3/4 of my library actually.
One of the things that attracted me to this book was the strong female character who was groomed by her father to survive. No spoiler intended but at the first real conflict the "heroine" collapses into the protection of a man she hardly knows. REALLY? Anyway .....
The too much of the book is about violence. Yes, the gangs rule the new world, they are brutal, they will get killed by the good guys. This includes motorcycle gangs and DHS thugs but do we need a literal blow by blow description of a grown man beating a teenage girl to death and then how he washes his hands? This one was not for me. A waste of a credit.

Don't bother

Revisado: 08-12-16

Certainly not the quality of the first book. The narrator is awful. After reading the reviews I had decided against buying the book but several months later after reading some other EMP fiction decided to give it a try. Boy was I wrong. There is so much good stuff out there don't waste a credit on this.

Don't waste your time!

Revisado: 04-14-16

I am an avid reader of this genre so I decided to give this a try despite its short length. The characters are shallow and it didn't take long to realize that I didn't care whether they lived or died. Don't waste your time or money(credit) on this one.
