Nope, sorry. Doesn't work for me. I pretty much read any post apoc. stuff I can find, but this one I was ready to put down pretty quickly into the book. Except I had this nagging feeling that it was going to become an advet for Mormonism. By midway I just started skimming to see if I was right.Sad to say that when a character is so idiotic as to have people attack him, then pack his guns and ammo in the back of a pickup where he cannot get at them, well he just deserves what he gets. There's also a number of missing words that makes the reading a bit jumpy at places.  "Hey, I don't know why, but let's drive form Virgina to Salt Lake City..."  Yes, I am sure that would happen.I really never figured out what was going on until I read the afterword, at which time I thought it was a clever idea mixing Lovecraft and Mormonism (unless that's actually the way it really works), but I find it interesting that having also been a Lovecraft fan for eons (strange eons) I really missed that aspect until I was told in the afterword.The writing did not grab me, the plot was more baffling than interesting, and the characters less so. I know, he's the ONE TRUE ONE, or something. Again, great idea, but it just does not work.  I can only hope the author hands out copies of it to Mormon Missionaries what call at his door.
