The Lone Prepper: A Small Town Post Apocalypse EMP Thriller Boxset

Rate this book
Two months without power has plunged the nation into chaos. Without technology, humanity is crumbling. Starvation spreads while brutal gangs rise, dominating in a savage fight for control. Between John McGregor and his trapped daughter lies a nation in darkness, and a city that has become a fortress of fear.


John McGregor, a former US special forces operative, saw the writing on the wall long ago. He knew that the day would soon come when modern society fell. Those suspicions were proven correct when an EMP attack destroys the nation's power grid, plunging the American people into a dark apocalypse. John's property has been set up as a sanctuary for a chosen few, where they could live off the land and be protected in peace indefinitely. There's just one problem. His daughter Emily is trapped in New York City as the once great metropolis transforms into a dark dystopian nightmare under martial law. Now John must fight his way up the East Coast and venture into the city to find his daughter and bring her home where she belongs.

seven to nine stars. This group of three stories were individually great reads. what happens after a EMP.

Each story was completely separate from the next but all are what happens after an EMP hits america. Each stretches life as we knew it and shows how to go on from there. The one theme I caught was that we were going to have to take care of each other because we are going to need a community that works together to live through the rough aftermath. You will love these stories.

Language!!!!

You couldn't really enjoy the story because of the language. F you this F you that. Just about every other word was FFFF. You know you can actually write a good story without all the offensive language. Look at NC Reed,, Kayla Stone, T L Payne, Tj Reeder. Reeder has some language but yours has gotten ridiculous. Read 2 skipped 2.

A EOTWAWKI story written from a Totally Paradoid perspective. A daughter hunkers down and a ruthless father comes to escort her to his prepper community. Government and existing powers are to be feared. Borrowed this eBook with Kindle Unlimited on April 8, 2024. Written from a very paranoid perspective. DNF. Scanned

Full of danger and a few surprises.

I chose the 5 star rating for two reasons. First, it holds your attention with non-stop action. and second, it is very well edited. No typos or misused wording to mentally correct. ( My personal peeve.)

Wonderful stories, each one!

The author, Vincent Valentean, kept the stories that could not be laid down. Top of the line!! I definitely recommend all to be read

I didn't get to the second book, as the first one wasn't for me. I'd tried one of his books before, and will try to remember not to try another.

very simply written

Nice to have older people as the protagonists but the “ simple” writing style made the whole story boring. I like the subject though so continued reading

Lone Prepper series

I liked this set. It had little repetitive description which I appreciate. One I would have liked to continue on with, it was that good.

Es sind 4 einzelnde Geschichten in dem Sammelband. Alle in sich abgeschlossen, alle beginnen sie mit dem gleichen EMP Angriff und erzählen die Erlebnisse
der Hauptprotagonisten. Wer die Verursacher sind wird nicht mal ansatzweise erklärt, nur über die unmittelbaren Folgen und die Zeit bis die Hauptprotagonisten in Sicherheit sind. Finde ich persönlich schade.
