Massive hurricanes strike the Gulf and East coast of the U.S. and a devastating terrorist attack soon follows. As the economy falters and the grid collapses, a young family escapes to their cabin in the mountains as the world around them explodes into chaos and violence.
My thoughts:
This apocalyptic novel was not only captivating, it was
scary as hell. The plot was well thought out and extremely realistic. It was so
believable that I immediately started checking off my list of emergency
supplies. The scariest thing about it though, was just how easy it could
happen, not in the distant future, but at any moment.
The characters were well developed and very likable (or
unlikable as the case may be). I even fell in love with the location. Could the
novel have been better written? Yes it could. The author did more telling than
showing, but the story was strong enough to keep me enthralled from beginning
to end. As this author’s writing matures, I believe he will become a major
contender, and I look forward to his next novel.
