- What disappointed you about Prepper’s Crucible. Omnibus: An EMP Tale?
- The story was incredibly linear. The characters shallow and without any substance. I can just picture the middle aged right leaning white guy who wrote this. His lack of research and understanding of scenarios and human nature had my head shaking the entire book.
- What was most disappointing about Bobby Andrews’s story?
- Very confusing at some parts. The character’s named jumped around in certain parts and I had no idea who was doing what exactly. The “climax” of the book took place in about 90 seconds, and was just as nonsensical as the lead up to it.
- How did the narrator detract from the book?
- He didn’t have much to work with, but the narration seemed flat.
- Any additional comments?
- I’ve only returned one book on Audible, and if I didn’t feel like I deserved an award for finishing this I would return it as well. I struggled through it and finished so it will sit in my library as a trophy to my suffering and endurance.
SPOILER ALERT
The main part of the story had a group of bikers coming into town to take it over under the premise they were going to sell drugs to all the drug addicts in town and force all the farmers to feed them. In a post EMP world what good is the money? Where do the addicts get the money in the first place? What would all the tough bikers do with all the useless money? What are the dirty little addicts going to do to get more money to buy more drugs? Were the farmers going to feed the addicts to keep them going to stay alive to buy more drugs, or were they going to feed the biker gang and let the addicts starve?
I’m still shaking my head over this.
