Review: Not as good as Book I
Rating: 3 out of 5

HELL IN THE HOMELAND, while a good story, filled with believable characters and plausible scenarios is -sadly - plagued with some of the worst editing I've seen yet. Misspelled words, misplaced commas, unusual words dropped in the middle of a sentence for no apparent reason, etc. All of which I found surprising, because Book I, while not perfect, it's editing problems were few and far between.Nonetheless, in HELL IN THE HOMELAND A.J. Newman continues the story if survivalist/prepper and former special forces soldier John Harris, his family and cohorts as they strive to rebuild their lives after the catastrophic events of Book I. In doing so they meet some resistance, have some success, a failure or two, and move toward consolidating a new nation - if only for the time being.The story, characters and scenarios - and the writing in general, I thought, might have deserved four - maybe four and-a-half stars. But the ghastly editing left me with no choice but to reduce it to three.
