Hidden Homestead Boxset


No phones. No computers. No Internet. Nothing. Three weeks without power, following a crippling EMP strike, have thrust the nation into disarray. Amid this outage, where technology is rendered useless, Martha Marshall has one to help her mother reach a hidden homestead, the last beacon of hope in a world overrun by starvation and brutal gangs.

In the heart of a city swallowed by darkness, Martha Marshall is the last glimmer of hope – but can she navigate through anarchy, winter’s chill, and marauding raiders to sanctuary?

Martha Marshall is a beacon of hope in a world plunged into unyielding darkness by a catastrophic event. Through the chaos of a city lost, she fights to lead her mother to safety - a remote sanctuary where Martha's partner Roy awaits. But salvation is ephemeral. Raiders strike, winter closes in, and every day is a battle against a world spiraling into anarchy.

Seeking Shelter

The thin thread holding the civilized world together has been severed. Millions of citizens have been thrust into the unknown. As society falls into dismay, John charges headlong into the escalating chaos to protect the only thing he holds his family.

Three delightful sit on your seat edge and read as fast as you can to see whats next.

Three books each about how small towns and ranches handle the EMP aftermath. Each has a different premises on what can and will happen. Each is totally indivisible from the others and each is great. All have a family to follow.

Bad editing

The first three books were okay. However
, the editing was non existent. The spelling was atrocious, there were words missing and the grammar left ot to be desired. This was a book that could use a sequel. However, I am not sure I would be able to wade through a other book with so many errors again

You Need an Editor...

This is a good read. But, as a retired English teacher, you need an editor. And maybe research EMPs. I enjoyed reading this book... and hope to see more by the author.

Mostly good

I enjoyed these books. All of them have a good plot/storyline but the second one was not well edited. The grammatical errors and outright misuse of words made it frustrating to read!

HH series

Decent reading. Most wouldn't catch the proof read errors, but that just me. I like that it doesn't drag on and on with descriptive filler. It moves at a steady pace with limited repetition.

Frustrated

This is the first time giving a boxset just 3 stars. I was so frustrated reading this set. There were so many typos, missing words, and jumbled sentences. The Longest Night was the worst. Would not recommend this to any avid reader.

Great adventure

Trying to survive after a EMP, starting all over to basics no phone, electricity, cars being abandoned. People fighting for things that other people have. Survival of the fittest.

Interesting Story

I have not read the entire series. It has an interesting beginning but it isn't for me. Others may enjoy the series for the concept is interesting. People used to living off the land like preppers, and the trials and tribulations after an EMP.

Good story

Loved the characters and storyline. However, the typos were driving me crazy. They were on almost every page. This book needed a better editer.

Five different books.

I read them all. One was very good, the four rating, the others were 2 or 3. That's just me though. I know there will be some battles but all out war?
