Review: Thought Provoking Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 28, 2013
Dave Walker is an everyman who likes to hang out at prepper and survivalist sites on the web by night and is a working slub like the rest of us by day.  The author does a nice job of quickly framing Dave's life as a worker drone before disaster strikes and he is thrust through the looking glass.  I don't want to give any spoilers but this book is surprisingly layered for being so short.  The author does an effective job of portraying not only Dave but also his wife Karen and Karen's mother Sheila.  These are three dimensional characters that a reader can care about.The second half of the book was a real rollercoaster, and my only comment here is I felt the author should have fleshed out the first section into one book, and made the second section into a second book or more.  Not really a complaint, just an observation that this story is worthy of more time.  Another timely and excellent story from this up-and-coming author.
