Ignore the misspellings and grammar problems.  The book's premise is okay, but it suffers from certain flaws.  The clan's military operationsare interesting and exciting but,unfortunately, many pages are devoted to minor dialogue.  The main character, Bruce, is a survivalist who, to his credit, saves manypeople while combating overarching federal power and hooligan gangs.  Bruce, however, later becomes a warlord and ends up as some kind of mandarin.  The is a great deal of timespent on someone, usually Bruce, threatening to break legs, arms, faces, and so forth.  He has a short fuse and often launches off into vile, personal tirades against nearlyanyone.  On the other hand, he gets into a snit when he thinks someone has insulted his firearm.  Then too, the author appears to be preoccupied with testicles, because every few pagesthere are references to "balls".  The same is nearly true about parts of female anatomy.  In the midst of worldwide economic collapse and social disruption, the author spends pageson the subject of farting in bed!  Too much print is spent on the infant PJ, and how many people sleep in Bruce's bed.  Worse, the is some kind on metaphysical nonsense about the "wave",a kind of peak experience related to combat and semi-combat activities.  There are rules about this, you know.  Well, those of us who have had peak experiences seem to understand thatthey come and go, and cannot be controlled.  About the last thirty pages were an anticlimactic bore!
