This book is worth reading if you're not knowledgeable of the inner workings of government and how they have the means to take over and control everything nationwide.  Plenty of political opinons, facts and insights are presented, IMHO, but one will have to draw their own conclusion as to whether they desire to heed what is being conveyed and presented.I feel there was way to much redundency in projecting the politics and mindsets of what is being stated.  I started to think, 'Okay, I get it, lets move along to the part where everyone starts bugging out, planning and taking action for their survival.'  For me, I started getting bored with the book due to the redundency, but then, I agree with everything that was presented in the book, for I already knew 95% of it.  That's probably why I wanted the story line to move forward to more action sooner than it did.  For someone who has not been openminded to a lot of these causal factors in the world, it can be very insightful.The story line begins to pick up in the 'action' part at about 65% (on Kindle).  I truly enjoyed the story line about Chuck and Sam, their plans and what they wanted to do.  The author presented Chuck in a realistic way as a person dealing with his demons and radical thinking due to what he had experienced in the past year.  Brody is an excellent addition to the lead characters.  He is brought into the story in a smooth, realistic way, yet remaining mysterious to a point.  When Chuck, Brody and Jasmine bug out to get to Sam's place, the action really picks up.The entire story line is presented in a logical, realistic way.  It makes sense, it gives pause for thought and should bring the reader to evaulate where we are in society today and what could very well happen at any time.  It is obvious this book was very well edited.  Again, the story line just clicked and had a logical flow to it throughtout.  I did enjoy this book a lot and would highly recommend it.The ending is left open to a sequel, of which I will purchase when it comes out.  This first book has piqued my interest to the point where I really desire to find out where the author is going to take this story line, albeit, hoping the political viewpoints will be toned down and replaced with actual survival scenario's and other action centered situations.PS:  Mr. Burke, please learn the difference between a "clip" and a "magazine" when it comes to guns.  Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine.
