SURVIVING by author Anthony Newman is indeed quite a story. Chock full of action involving good guys & bad, villains & heroes, and tragic endings. But the book has believable characters and a plausible scenario, if stretched a bit far in the believability department. Or maybe I was just having a hard time visualizing the action scenes much of the time. In fact, I often found them confusing - but only mildly so.John Harris, former special forces soldier and prepper/survivalist goes on an outdoors outing with friends where almost nothing goes their way. Danger seems to lurk at every turn - and it may not be a coincidence. Enemies seem friendly, friends turn out to be enemies, and a real donnybrook ensues. And that's about all I can say without giving it away.Well written and fast moving SURVIVING (The Adventures of John Harris ) was far better than I initially expected. It drew me in carefully and cleverly, until I just couldn't put it down. And then it ended. Well, this volume anyway.Luckily I was able to move onto Book II in the series.
