When a devastating Electromagnetic Pulse is detonated over the USA, it leads to a total loss of power and a complete and catastrophic breakdown of everyday society. As the country descends into chaos and anarchy, one man makes an epic decision in order to save his loved ones and find a place of safety. From their home in McKinney, Texas, Lance prepares with his wife and three young sons, along with an assorted group of friends and neighbors, on a long and treacherous journey across the country, towards the only point on the map he can think of that will provide them with the security they need.
Their journey promises to be long and arduous, and Lance will discover more about life than he ever thought possible as they find that desperate circumstances most often bring out the best, and sometimes the worst, in human nature. But the sprawling Saddle Ranch is in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and between them lies over 800 miles of harsh terrain, now filled with desperate, and oftentimes wretched, hostiles. Can Lance navigate a safe passage to the promise of a better life for them all? Or has he taken on much more than he bargained for?

I highly recommend this to new Preppers or those who have concerns about the future of our nation. I am an avid Prepper Novel reader, & know what I'm talking about, especially when it is the author's first book. Here is what I suggest.
If you are reading this on a Kindle iPad make sure whenever the book shows you a 'things to stock up on' list, highlight it, then copy & paste it to your notepad. Then when you have completed the book, email all your notes to yourself, then convert it to Word or just print out your email. I did.
As usual Prepper Fiction novelists put most of these golden nuggets in their first book, so I was ready to copy & paste from the outset. Most of the info is in the beginning, but I constantly found myself stopping to paste a thing or two right until the last chapter. This one, as about half of these novels, are, is about an EMP strike, meaning you have zero time to prep or stock up.
The author does a great job, especially for his first novel. I will read the others in this series. Unless you like reading Boy Scout Manuals, then I suggest you follow my advice.
Once your notes are printed out, you have a great start on preparing yourself, all while enjoying a great novel instead of a boring 'how to' manual. a Austin 5.0 out of 5 stars Wow Awesome book.I can`t wait for the next one.

Judy M 5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book The characters are all real to life.
Very well developed and interesting. I like the fact that graphic violence and sex is not in your face or used to build the story. Also, no bad language or unnecessary swearing.
Faith in God is not made to seem odd or unusual. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
