I hesitated ordering this book after reading another review, and in the end I was so desperate for something to read I broke down and ordered it.  Best decision I made all week! Many authors are good at destroying society but only a few can chronicle the rebuilding phase after the storm.  David Nelson makes a good start here.  That is what we have here, rebuilding, with the Blaines and their friends trying to not only survive at a subsistence level but pick up the pieces and start over.This book does not have the same level of violence seen in the first two books but there is some action and what there is reminds me more of stories of the Old West than many post apocalyptic stories.  For me, I enjoyed the story and the bits about repurposing the remnants of abandoned homes to build wagons, for instance, was a creative use of resources.If your tastes run to mindless mayhem and killing, this may not be the book for you.  If you like a well told story about friends and family coming together to build something, then give it a try.  Now, as a caution, read the first two books first so you don't get lost in all the characters.  You will be glad you did.
