First, let me say I ordered the next two books in the series.  They were worth the ebook price, but wouldn't be worth a regular paperback price.The setup was a little contrived, I expect some type of divine intervention explanation to cover why the earthquakes struck the military bases just when everyone went underground.The dialogue really is stilted, the author ought to record his daily conversations and compare them to dialogue in the book.  The characters talk like they were briefing a very picky 4 star general, not talking to friends.Some of the plot lines rely too much on coincidence.There are a lot of other negatives, but so what.This isn't great literature, but it's fun.  Obviously the author is still working on his craft, but he can write things that keep your attention.I enjoy the setting because we moved to Huntsville a couple of years ago.The great thing about Kindle is the way authors can put something enjoyable out there and earn a few coins while they perfect their skills.
