WHAT IF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT ENDED TOMORROW?

The America we are accustomed to is no more. Practically overnight the stock market has plummeted, hyperinflation has crippled commerce, and the fragile chains of supply and high-technology infrastructure have fallen. The power grids are down. Brutal rioting and looting grip every major city. The volatile era known as “the Crunch” has begun, and this new period in our history will leave no one untouched. In this unfamiliar environment, only a handful of individuals are equipped to survive.

Andrew Laine, a resourceful young U.S. Army officer stationed overseas in Afghanistan, wants nothing more than to return home to Bloomfield, New Mexico. With the world in turmoil and all air and sea traffic to America suspended, Laine must rely on his own ingenuity and the help of good Samaritans to reach his family. Andrew will do whatever it takes to make it home to his fiancée, no matter how difficult the circumstances.

Major Ian Doyle is a U.S. Air Force pilot sta-tioned in Arizona with his wife, Blanca. Their young daughter, Linda, is trapped in the North- eastern riots. Three teenage orphans, Shadrach, Reuben, and Matthew Phelps, have no choice but to set out on their own when their orphanage closes at the beginning of the Crunch. Then there is Ignacio Garcia, the ruthless leader of the criminal gang called La Fuerza, who will stop at nothing to amass an army capable of razing the countryside. And over everything looms the threat of a provisional government, determined to take over America and destroy the freedoms upon which it was built. The world of Survivors is a terrifyingly familiar one. Rawles has written a novel so close to the truth, readers will forget it’s fiction. If everything you thought you knew suddenly fell apart, would you survive?

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Rawles is an amazingly gifted author who has singlehandedly reignited the post-apocalyptic thriller. Survivors is an instant classic.” --Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Full Black

"An incredible tale." --AmongTheLeaves.com

"’Survivors’, painting a realistic picture of life with no plan to survive the harsh realities of a crash, has given me a glimpse into how the other half lives, and how I can further prepare to help my fellow man." --Paratus Familia Blog

“It's 370 pages of adventure, excitement, and page-turning thrills.” --If it Hits the Fan

“It embodies the American spirit of independence and survival.” --NoisyRoom.net

“Rawles' Survivors is well worth reading. . . well-written and informative, and speaks with an honesty and bluntness often missing from the policy prognotications of the political elite.” --The New American

Great Story that makes you think, What would I do?

January 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

First off James Wesley Rawls is not a god so don’t expect him to create miracles of literary content. It amazes me that the majority of negative reviews I’ve read here all are expecting some kind of enlightenment to help them grow as a prepper or to read a work that parallels the literary genius of someone like Earnest Hemmingway. I almost did not get this book based on some of the negative reviews, but I’m glad I took the time to make a my own assessment by purchasing and reading it. I found it quite enjoyable and it kept me coming back for more just to see what was going to happen. To me personally I found it to be a better read than the first book. While I like the first book, this one had me pulled in more as I could relate to one of the main character’s efforts and journey to get home in a time of turmoil. This book is listed and sold as fiction and that is precisely what it is. It makes for a good story to read and contemplate. I often found myself asking what would I do in some of the situations that evolved within this book. So as some may try to read and review this book as a preppers. “How To” guide for an end of times as we know it, keep in mind this is a fictitious book with an interesting story line presented through the eyes of believable characters. Some have also complained of too much religious content. To me there was not a lot in this book. There was some, but I did not feel overwhelmed by it. If you’re going to read JW Rawls, keep in mind that his main characters tend to have a strong foundation in their religious beliefs so this will be expressed within the story. To me it is part of the character development within this series. Overall this is a good read and worth the time.

Guns, guns and more guns

January 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is about a handful of brave and resourceful people fighting to survive the collapse of a nation, the USA, after an economic and social breakdown which cause is not well explained in the book. It is also about guns, guns and more guns. Nonetheless, it's a good reading. But you'll need to buy a sequel to learn the end of it. Does the author uses the book to justify the right to own and use guns beyond the second amendment?

Best of the series

May 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

I thought this one was the best of the batch, despite what some other reviewers have said. It was the first one I read, two more since; Patriots and Founders.
I found the part about the Army officer abandoned in Europe and unable to get home by conventional means intriguing. Most interesting was how his stash of precious metal coins was accepted as payment when cash was worthless. I found myself reading further about precious metals. I also liked how he made his way from Belize back to the U.S. through Mexico. Great story. I enjoyed it. Can't say as much about the others editions in this series. Founders was OK, but I found Patriots a boring rehash.

A Story of Ordinary Folks In Extraordinary Circumstances

August 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this. The story runs concurrent with the storyline in Mr. Rawles's novel "Patriots". A couple of the characters of this story even knew the Grays - a family who played a large role in "Patriots". Both novels were written in similar style; indeed they both dealt with the same collapse scenario centering around a failure of the US dollar.

Unlike Patriots, most of the characters in this novel were more ordinary type people in ordinary occupations - many were of limited economic means - struggling day to day like the rest of us. Some of these folks were prudent prepper type people; others were not prepped but rose to the demands of the occasion and got creative. All of them were caught in various situations, each of which required somewhat different strategies to deal with successfully. I really liked this aspect of "Survivors" - I could personally identify more with the people involved and this book was less the stereotypical story of preppers with bunkers, bug-out cabins, multi-year stockpiles of food, etc.

Mr. Rawles also dealt with a serious problem NOT often addressed in the survival press - and that is the VERY REAL THREAT of organized criminal gangs. In "Survivors", he deals point-blank with what can happen when such gangs run amok in a WROL (without rule of law) situation. Having lived in gang-ridden areas for much of my adult life and seen firsthand the lukewarm (at best) response of police and other authorities during "normal, peacetime" conditions, I've had an unwelcome look into that world and seen how they operate. Most people, unless they have personally been victims, are content to look the other way and allow this activity to go on right under their noses. Given that, and our society's lack of political will to deal effectively with the problem, I can tell anyone reading this post that MOST folks - including 'seasoned preppers' - are NOT in the slightest bit prepared for this type of threat. As someone said to me years ago "people won't know what hit 'em, much less what to do about it when it does."

All in all, I thought this was an excellent read. Like "Patriots", "Survivors" had some excellent survival oriented information with an engaging story wrapped around it. He also had some excellent information regarding amateur "ham" radio as a means of emergency communication in this book. As I mentioned above, I liked the fact this story actually dealt with more "common" or "everyday" people and less with the stereotypical "prepper" types. From that standpoint I liked "Survivors" better than "Patriots", but BOTH books are well worth reading.
