As sort of a voyeur wandering through a bit of prepper / SHTF / TEOTWAWKI fiction, I have come across some great stuff and some other stuff I felt the need to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading The Union Creek Journal and find myself looking forward to new installments. It's very good stuff.It's very readable and I think it has something for most reader categories - enough technical details to keep the gearheads interested, action, introspection, and a story that comes at you from several different perspectives (actually, some stories-within-the-story.) And the bottom line is that it's plausible. It's believable. There is nothing outlandish in what the author describes. I read one series of books in the same genre that ended up with the good guys zipping around in flying battle machines zapping marauders. There's none of that in the Journal - just the story of ordinary people making decisions in extraordinary circumstances about how to eat, stay warm, travel, protect themselves and stay alive.Like I said, it's very good stuff.
