This book is based on real events – and the scenario presented in this book although fiction is so realistic that should the dominoes fall in the order described the outcome would closely follow the storyline of this book. I liked the writers style he is a talented author, characters are developed well, and overall the events have that ring of truth to them that allows the reader to get deeply into this storyline. Of note is that this is a series, as are most in the genre and you will not find an ending at the finish of this book, but the story is so well done that you are actually happy there is more to come when you get to the end. If you are into TEOTWAWKI books this will be a great listen, if you are new to the genre then you will like this as a great action, adventure story, either way highly recommended.
