America Falls #8
Die Texas Schlacht (Amerika fällt 8)
Infektion. Invasion. Chaos.
Ein waffenfähiges Virus wütet in den USA und lässt Kinder und junge Erwachsene irgendwie unversehrt. Während Hunderte von Millionen sterben, ist das Überleben des Virus für die Überlebenden nur der Anfang...
Jack, Robert und Jen sind unter den unwahrscheinlichsten Umständen gerettet worden. Die neue Gruppe, angeführt von Großvater, bringt sie in ihr geheimes Lager im Sam Houston National Forest, wo sie das Angebot zu bleiben gerne annehmen. Das Leben im Lager ist hart, aber tausendmal besser als auf der Flucht zu sein.
Leider läuft die Zeit ab, und die Eindringlinge unter der Führung von Colonel Li, die von ihrer Flucht und den häufigen "terroristischen" Angriffen der Gruppe genervt sind, verstärken ihre Bemühungen, sie zu finden und zu vernichten.
Jack und seine Freunde finden sich bald mitten in einem weiteren Kampf wieder. Einem Kampf in Texas...

Da die Buchreihe ins Deutsche übersetzt wurde, sind ein paar Rechtschreibfehler/Satzbau Fehler normal aber dieses Buch ist einfach schrecklich. Zum Ende hin konnte ich an einigen Stellen nicht mal mehr den Zusammenhang verstehen. Abgesehen davon ist die Story langweilig und enthält nur Kampfszenen die schlecht beschrieben wurden.
Schade das für mich hier jetzt die Buchreihe endet.

**Spoilers ahead**
By the time you reach Texas Fight, the eighth entry in the America Falls, the story has fully shifted from survival horror into guerrilla war. The premise of the series remains the same: a weaponized virus wipes out most adults in the United States while leaving many children and young adults alive, all during a foreign invasion that collapses the country.
The Story (Major Spoilers)
At the start of the book, Jack, Robert, and Jen finally catch a break. After multiple books spent constantly on the run, they are rescued and brought to a hidden survival camp deep in the Sam Houston National Forest led by the mysterious Grandpa.
For a short time, the story almost feels hopeful. The camp has organization, leadership, and a functioning survival system. For readers who have followed Jack’s brutal journey since the beginning of the series, this feels like the closest thing to stability he has experienced since the fall of America.
Of course, that peace doesn’t last.
The invading forces, led by Colonel Li, are hunting the resistance groups responsible for attacks on their supply lines and patrols. When the invaders begin closing in on the forest camps, the teenagers and survivors realize they aren’t just hiding anymore. They are officially part of a resistance movement.
The title Texas Fight becomes literal.
The book builds toward a series of skirmishes between the resistance fighters and the occupying forces. Jack’s character arc becomes especially clear here he has gone from a scared kid burying his parents to someone capable of planning ambushes and fighting soldiers. The transformation the series has been hinting at is finally complete: Jack has essentially become a hardened fighter.
What Works
The biggest strength of Texas Fight is the shift in tone.
Earlier books focused on running and surviving, but this one is about fighting back. The guerrilla warfare elements make the story feel bigger, as if the scattered groups of survivors across the country might actually start reclaiming territory.
The camp setting also gives the story breathing room. Seeing how survivors organize themselves leadership roles, supply systems, and training adds realism to the world-building.
What Doesn’t Work
The pacing can feel rushed. Major battles and developments sometimes happen quickly, without the buildup they deserve. Some readers also feel the series occasionally jumps forward in character development—teenagers suddenly becoming skilled fighters and survival experts can stretch believability.
Another issue is that the book mostly focuses on one resistance pocket. Considering how large the invasion is supposed to be, the story sometimes feels smaller in scale than the premise suggests.
Final Thoughts
Texas Fight works best as a turning point in the series rather than a standalone story. It marks the moment where survival turns into organized resistance. The characters are no longer just trying to live another day, they’re trying to take their country back.
If you’ve read the earlier books in the series, this one is satisfying because it finally lets the survivors fight back. But it also raises the stakes: the invaders know these groups exist now, and the war for what’s left of America is only getting started.

A fabulous book.
Another great read from Scott Medbury he hasn't disappointed me yet. The words flow and it is so easy to read and get my mind into the story along with Jack and Co.

Wow!
A really great read. The discipline of teenagers pushed to the limit is amazing. I enjoyed all of these books and would recommend them highly.

It scares me silly to think of this possibility.
A verry good read for any age (I'm 92)
1t opened new doors of thought.
The characters were real andd painfull to lose.

I'm enjoying seeing other groups other than Issac and Luke's.
Luke is still my favorite, but seeing how different groups reacted and survived is interesting.
Grandpas was great.

Starting to lose interest in this series.

Eh. Not enough time to really grow attached to the characters. Felt more like a filler in the series then anything else.

Not my favorite book in the series but the second half of the book bumped it from a 3 star to a 4 star for me

This entire series is great! Everyone over the age of 17=18 has been killed by a virus designed by China. This is a struggle of how these young survivors brave this new world and what they have to do to survive (some don't.)
I especially like the way the last two books come back around to the first story.
I hope there are other continuations and adventures.

This book is by far the worst in the series so far. The characters are 2-dimensional, lacking any deep personality. There are no plot twists or any “ahhhh” moments. The mole was obvious from the very beginning. The dialogue drags and adds nothing meaningful. It was completely lackluster and boring.

I do not like these newer books. They don't grab and hold onto your attention like the other books. Those characters and their arcs were so fascinating, I guess it is an unfair comparison.
