The unthinkable happens when nuclear brinksmanship spirals off into to Armageddon. Billions die as governments disintegrate, great cities are annihilated and deeply laid plans to seize unlimited power swing into action.Tom McArthur: Once a carefree individualist, he was coaxed into a position of influence and leadership by unexpected opportunity and kept there by his sense of honor. He finds himself far from home and family, separated by hundreds of miles of impossible terrain, gangs of armed bandits and a hostile government.Lynn, his wife: Beautiful and intelligent, strong willed and voluptuous, she resents Tom's abandonment of her and their children for a distant political career. Now, with nothing but her courage, wits and willpower to work with, she must fight to keep herself and her children alive.Lance: Young, handsome and lonely, trained as the ultimate warrior, he drove himself into poverty and alcohol with the memory of an unspeakable evil he was party to. Will he find love and redemption or destroy those around him? Who will live? Who will die? What will emerge when things fall apart?

Not the best, but not the worst,

This review is from: Things fall apart: A novel of survival and honor (Paperback)
This book has a solid storyline and character set. However, I found the remedial grammar and the amount of time spent on the whole post-apocalyptical-breakdown-in-society-leading-to-rampant-male bikers-on-teenage-boy-gang-rape very uninspiring. Yes, the idea of that happening puts a scare in most anyone, but in this sense, it felt that the author was being reckless and cheap.
Also, I was totally shocked and distracted by the number of spelling errors - there must be literally one on every other page. I think this book is worth a read, just set the right expectation. It is definitely not WarDay, Arc Light, or The Last Ship.

Kind Of A Slow Moving SHTF Novel.,

The title for this says it all.
I guess it's worth it to buy it if you have everything else on the subject, but it's not that great and I wouldn't expect too much out of it. If there were more books on the subject then I'd just say to skip it altogether. It's predictable and it follows a set pattern. If you can get it for cheap, then get it. If not, then don't buy it.

This review is from: Things fall apart: A novel of survival and honor (Paperback)
Good plot, but hard to follow with constant grammatical errors and absolutely no spell check. I gave it 3 stars because it was a good read even with these problems.
