Review: Positives outweigh slight negatives
Rating: 4 out of 5

Having read extensively in the SHTF genre, I found this book to be interesting but not among the very best.  However, I already downloaded the second book of the series, "Eden Lost", because book-1 was much better than most in this genre.Positives: Credible characters and plot; good writing style; and a bonus of very few (less than 10) grammar errors.Negatives: Even though this book has believable action scenes that strike me as realistic for the circumstances, the story line didn't grab me quite as intensely as my most favorite books in this genre.  In all fairness, maybe I've just reached a saturation point.  Had I read this book earlier in my TEOTWAWKI reading quest, I probably would have given it 5 stars.  There are literally hundreds of SHTF authors (142 of them currently on my don't read list) who aren't even close to Cunningham's skill level; he is many echelons beyond them.  This book was definitely a very high 4+ for me.Overall, I do recommend this book.  I certainly hope after I've read book #2 that I will be able to add Andrew to my "Excellent SHTF author list", which now stands at only 13.
