Helpful in a list kind of way to tick off what you should be thinking about if you're into apocalypse-proofing your life. Other than that not much of a story. Really annoyingly self-righteous characters (I am guessing the lead is based on the author).
I know a book with a forward by Newt Gingrich....(now you know what direction my political views might be skewed), I looked beyond that, he did have some very thought provoking words....I read the story ( I seem to be in this trend of novels) all in all, it made me think. Which is a good thing.Maybe...
The first few chapters were a bit slow, but then it really picked up. I enjoyed this book because it gave me a very realistic glimpse into what it would be like if Americans no longer had access to modern technology. My desire to become a homesteader and get back to the basics has only been reaffirm...
Do you rate a book only on the quality of the writing or on how it makes you think after you finish? This gets 5+ stars for provoking serious thought while the writing itself was just okay. Short recap: one spring day, 3 nuclear weapons are exploded over the US, generating an Electro Magnetic Pulse ...
Well, I love an apocalypse as much as the next gal, but after reading reviews I think I'll let this one pass. Recommended by Newt Gingrinch? No interesting female characters? Reactionary politics? Civil War nostalgia? Gack.
This book explores the effects of an EMP bomb. This type of detonation would not kill, but would immediately send us back to life without modern amenities. This book had a little taste of McCarthy's The Road without the total isolation experienced by the main characters. A very interesting aspect of...
I'll admit I had some trepidation when I read that the forward was by Newt Gingrich and Forstchen had co-authored a number of books with him but I'd say the book was definitely apolitical. Sure, the town is conservative and there's southerns vs yankees, but that's realistic. There were some left lea...
I updated my status on this book yesterday to say I was pretty sure it was never going to end, but I can say it finally did. Finally. Really, this book could have been so much more interesting than it was. EMPs are by their nature very interesting. But… the author chose the wrong protagonist (an ex-...
