Once that is done, the next project on the "to-do" list is Book 2 "Seasons of Man." I'm anxious to get back to Jason, Pro, and Rachel myself, and then folding in the arrival of the new group from Antarctica - New bad guys too! Thanks for reading! Best Regards - Scott (less)

"Great Post-Apocalyptic Read

I really enjoyed this book. I like when post-apocalyptic books focus more on what caused the event, and how the survivors survive in what's left of the world. This book did a great job of that. I also really enjoyed the vie" Read more of this review »

Quotes by S.M. Anderson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There’s always going to be the one percent out there. Evil dickheads, at both ends of the political spectrum, just wanting the power. They’re nothing, one percent, if that. Easily ignored if it weren’t for the nasty, efficient, ambitious, back stabbing fifteen or twenty percent that don’t believe in anything one way or another. They just feed off of the power and authority, and in turn, grow it, protect it. I don’t care if it’s the New Caliphate, South American Junta Republic, the Central Asian Bloc, Nazi Germany, Mao’s China, the Soviet Union, or hell, Russia at any time in the last 600 years. It comes down to the bureaucrats that owe their allegiance to the system or entity that employs them and everything they’ll do to grow and protect the power they see as theirs.”
― S.M. Anderson, Come and Take It

“A guiding hand, no matter how benevolent or light can’t help but strive to protect itself, its institutions, its power, its bureaucracy and its authority over time.”
― S.M. Anderson, Come and Take It

“Starvation was a great motivator. Fear, chaos, and trauma were the ultimate recruitment tools. Add in the idea of acting for the supposed benefit of all, and there was very little that people wouldn’t be able to justify doing.”
― S.M. Anderson, Reap What You Sow
