Publisher's summary

How long would you last?

It's been two weeks since the EMP. Getting out was just the beginning. Staying alive is proving harder than anyone could have imagined. Max knows people will come from the cities. He knows they'll be ready to fight, to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival. Will he be able to lead the others in the defense of the farmhouse, even when he's still recovering from his injuries? Georgia is in charge of hunting. Each trip into the woods brings her closer to danger. It's just a matter of time before she runs into people who will do anything to get her gun and her gear. How dangerous do things have to get before she stops trying to provide for her kids? John is Max's estranged brother. He'd always made fun of Max for worrying about being prepared. Now, he's trapped in his upscale apartment with no gear and no food. He's wishing he was more like his brother. Does he want to have what it takes to try to get out of the city?

Good story

Great narrator as always. Good story, going to purchase the next in the series. This story was a little bit slower than the first for me but it was enough to keep me interested and continuing the series.

Suffering Succotash, Sylvester!

Close your eyes and imagine the voice of the Family Guy cartoon character, Herbert, reading an episode of The Walking Dead. We couldn't get over the "tailing S's" of the narrator to decide if we liked the book or not. Seriously, the shrill was so bad we asked for a refund 5 minutes in...SSSO SSSo, SSSad!

good story but

The author doesn't know much about guns. it gets annoying at times but doesn't take away too much from the story.

page turner

I enjoyed this second installment. at times I wanted to reach in to the story and tell some of these characters to harden up but it made for an exciting tale.

Once again,

It’s a decent story but the timeline just doesn’t work for me. People getting way too used to seeing dead bodies the travel and if I’m correct in the two books it’s only been three weeks? Way too much way too soon. Keep trying
