The United States may have just come to an end in this exciting post-apocalyptic, dystopian thriller about several electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks all at once. Not only has the electrical grid come crashing down, but all other critical infrastructures of the country have ceased to exist, leaving the country a vast wasteland, where only the ruthless and resourceful survive. Jim Burkett is stuck on a business trip when it all happens, and he must battle prison breaks, food riots, criminal gangs, looters, cannibals, terrorist sleeper cells, nuclear fallout, and total anarchy in his quest to get home to his family. Will he make it?

Good information at the beginning
, the story was very choppy. the characters keep putting them selves in bad positions. not at all the way a prepper would act.

We follow Jim, a long time prepper, as the EMP hits stranding him in Charleston, South Carolina during a company seminar. The big problem I have with Jim is that as a long time prepper he has no inkling that an EMP has struck and is just as confused as everyone else in the beginning. Seems to me a prepper would be well aware of the results of an EMP and recognize it pretty quickly. The story basically chronicles Jim as he travels back to his home in Knoxville, Tennessee. There are a few decent folks he comes across, but the majority are far from decent, some downright crazy; “Clownigula” was pretty wild. The crowd that surrounded Jim and friends, which turned into a mob was a bit terrifying knowing that this type of behavior was indeed probable. The writing is good, the story interesting, although in a simpler or more basic manner. There is a follow-up book, but I don’t believe it has been released yet.

Decent, but lacking intensity.

The story was good, but the narration was very irritating. Could not wait until it was done so I didn't have to listen to him anymore!

Story good....voice not good.

I like that this book addressed some of the things necessary to survive such a situation and not just about the characters.

Pretty good post EMP story

I asolutely loved this book. It was a great story, but it brought up a lot of different things that can very well happen in an EMP.

fantastic read
