Desperate Times #1-3
Desperate Times Trilogy (Volume 1) by Nicholas Antinozzi
Together for the first time, the fictional series that will change the way you look at the world. The Desperate Times Trilogy takes a hard-hitting look into serious conditions we could encounter in the days, weeks, and months following an economic cataclysm. Jimmy Logan wakes up late on a Friday morning and rushes to work, only to find out that the world is on the brink of disaster. The dollar is in a free-fall and the foreign exchanges have tanked. There is panic in the streets and by the end of the day the shelves will be bare and commerce will have ground to a halt. Jimmy joins up with a group of people led by his employers, Ken and Patty Dahlgren. They have a lake home in northern Minnesota and have had the foresight to stock it with enough provisions to ride the storm out. As conditions deteriorate, the National Guard is called in to uproot the general population and deliver them to relocation camps. Jimmy and his friends find themselves defending what they have in a lawless society where only the strong survive. Desperate Times is powerful fiction, geared to provoke critical thought.

What a journey
This was a tough series to get through. Not because it wasn't an tight, well written, suspenseful and moving story--it was all of these things and a lot more. But because the reality of what happens is incredibly close to what very well could happen to all of us. The characters are real, and I would find myself worried about them when I was away from the books. A good, rational, and realistic portrayal of what none of us want to experience, but a direction we are very likely headed towards. Excellent trilogy, and highly recommended. These books make you ponder--what is the real reality?
