About the author
Jerry D. Young
153 books29 followersJerry D Young was born at home, in Senath, Missouri July 3, 1953. At age 5 the family rented a small farm house on an active farm 40 miles southwest of St. Louis. While the family weren't farmers, they lived something of a homestead type life, raising a milk cow, sometimes two, and calves, a pig or two, chickens, and the occasional goat. Along with the stock, a large garden helped to feed Jerry's three brothers and two sisters for several years. Fishing and hunting contributed to the pantry, as did foraging the wild edibles on the property.
At the age of 14, the family, minus a brother and two sisters that were now adults and on their own, moved back to Senath. Having been encouraged from an early age to read, Jerry was a regular patron of the Senath Branch Library.
A love of a good story was born within him, and shortly before graduating high school, for a lack of stories that he liked at the library, he began to write short vignettes, and started taking notes for stories that he wanted to tell. Well, a full life interceded, and the writing didn't resume for several years.
But while working a job with a much free time, and the then newfangled home computer, Jerry began to write in earnest. With the occasional gap in the process, Jerry continued to research and write, never believing he could ever be published. But when he turned 50, he wanted a change in his life, left the job he was doing and began focusing on his writing.
When he became ill, the writing stopped, but not the inspiration. When he started writing again, in 2004, after getting the medical problems under control, he began to read some on-line stories dealing with emergency preparedness, one of his other loves. The die was cast. Now with over a hundred of the vignettes and short stories about how to survive disasters written, along with his other novels, Jerry decided to go for broke, adding one of his previous works every few days to his list of stories now available, Jerry continues to write, both the Prep/PAW stories, as well as action adventure with a little romance type stories that first got him started.

Not bad, not bad at all
I've read a very few of Mr Young's books, but they were much more simplistic than this one, so I'm impressed.
Kellie is a young, up-and-coming reporter who is on the scene when terrorists attack and bomb locations in America. She meets college professor and prepper Hadley, and they quickly become very close. That part is glossed over in the book. I thought it might have been better to have a little more detail on that, since Hadley plays a large role in Kellie's story after she is forced to leave her job and security behind. But whatever.
The events that lead up to the ending were somewhat farfetched, but I still enjoyed the story.
There are no graphic scenes of sex and violence, and you could read this story to your grandmother without embarrassment.
Results: an enjoyable story, not too thought-provoking. Something I'd read to relax before going to sleep, or just for distraction.

A good story with the usual bad guys foreign and domestic
Lots of cool toys and places. However it would take winning either the ovarian or mega lottery to pay for it all. Food for thought on another way to crush the US. Good spin on newscasters is developed both good and bad.

Great read.
Jerry has developed another great story. This story is relevant to what is happening today. I believe this story could be possible in our country today.

Possible
This or parts of this type of possible disaster are probable. Not one of my favorites but a good read just the same.
