Part cautionary tale, part prepper guide, book one of “Sundown” is a potent illustration of how quickly society can break down after a widespread power grid failure. Throughout, the author uses the story as a tool to describe various situations, and how one or more people might use their surroundings and commonly available items to survive. Some of the advice is common sense, but there was a lot of “Ah, now why didn’t I think of that” sort-of stuff that I took away from the reading as well. The only problem I had with the story was not believing how a present-day college student who lives on-campus wouldn’t have a cell phone as was the case with a main female character. Otherwise, it was very enjoyable from beginning to end, and the narration was top notch. I got more than a few laughs out of the Dottie character and the voice qualities provided by her narrator, which were excellent. Looking forward to the next installment!
