Review: A Nice First Book

This short little book by Jason Tarlton certainly has a West Texas flavor and features some interesting and colorful characters.  I did not always understand some of the motivation for the bad guys, especially "Graybeard" (I could not tell if he was a devoted follower or someone looking to control matters behind the scenes, for example).  I also found any group of survivors that wanted a nineteen year old kid to be their leader to be a little off-kilter.  A leader, yes.  The leader?  Questionable.  Anyway, the story was engaging and kept my attention with some unexpected turns that I did not see coming.  Also, nice to read a survival book that does not devolve completely into "gun porn".  I will read the next book when it comes out.
