Okay...this is a good story line and I was entertained with the sequence of how things evolved within the story.  However, I kept waiting for Jeremy to take the lead and get him and his friends out of L.A.  That didn't happen in this first book.  The title is misleading in that; the reader is led to believe, by the title, that this was what was going to happen.Even so, the story depicts the reality of how thousands, if not millions, will think if something like this ever happens in real life.  I can understand the hesitation, the mindset of 'hope' and the thoughts of the government, military, et al, coming to save the day...that's just human nature.  At least they began planning and taking measures to enhance their position, albeit, in a very precarious way.There is some good psycological and common sense conversations presented from the different characters, especially from Matt and Kade.  The author presents, through the characters, a logical and concise mindset as to what they need to do and why.  The five main characters see the situation for what it is and discuss their plans.  Some characters are depicted as weaker than others, which makes sense in light of their situation.  Kade appears to take the lead in becoming the glue that holds them together, yet displays a leadership style that reinforces their objective.I never became bored with this story and it kept me turning the pages to see what their next situation was going to be and what they were going to plan.  I've got the second book too, so will get on with that one to see where all this is going.This is an easy read...more of a short story, but for the price, I would recommend it.
