Two years ago, the economy in the US tanked.  The medical services stopped, there were no jobs and food was nearly non existent.  Many lost family members and the remaining survivors were tougher than the average Joe.  As the book states, the US went "from a world superpower to third world nation in less than 2 years."Meet John, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the leader of his small group.  Initially he thought they would be able to stay in their home but gangs and thugs drove them away.  This is despite the nasty traps they had set around his house including napalm bombs and snake pits! Needless to say, when his small group  left, they ran across a retired E-9 from Nam - (Yep, you guessed it, we will call him Top)!This is when the story really hits the fan.  The reader learns that the US has been invaded by both the Russians and the Chinese.Various battles ensue which I won't comment on.  I will only say that "Take No Prisoners" is their motto.  And, I thought the scene of moving over a mine field following Willy was superb.  The singing of The Star Spangled Banner by four prisoners did bring chills to my spine.I also thought the blurb on the Civil War was very interesting.  I had never thought of it in that manner previously. The bottom line is don't count the US out despite the odds.  I envision another series in this one!Highly recommended.
