I'm about 15% through this book, I bought it for my Kindle Fire. I don't know if the Author is a prepper or anything of the sort, but the story (which is a series) definitely paints a realistic picture of a collapsed America. It's gritty, well written, and certainly will be on my list for reading. I recently also bought One Second After and Lights Out to read, but those went on to the back burner once I got this little gem. Once I'm collapsed out, I'll read the other two I think.

This is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller set in America at the beginning of a socioeconomic collapse. Although an innocent casualty of the chaos, one young man must discover his inner strength and defiant courage as he comes of age learning how to survive in the wasteland of failing services, unemployment, and violence. With the economy in free fall, the government crippled by indecision, the streets taken over by new political party's, and the fragile institutions of civilization crumbling, a young man finds himself homeless and alone on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., facing certain death unless he can master survival skills he never imagined needing. Fending off violent citizens in an urban landscape that is gradually sliding into looting and mayhem, the protagonist emerges as an ultimate force of justice in a lawless land. This compelling, fast-paced novel pulls readers in and lets them experience firsthand what life in the United States will be like as its teetering society begins to fall.

wow! cool, I'll be sure to pick it up!

Just finished the book last week, not a bad read, but sad ending.

Sounds like a GREAT read!!! If it's half as good as One Second After, it's going to be on my "must see" list for sure!!

Forgot to add, just got "Patriots" for Christmas (believe it or not). About 75 pages in, seems ok so far. Will have to wait and see how the book is as a whole.........

So I'm now finished with that book, I'll be looking for the next in the series LOL. It's a good book!
