BOSTON FALL 3
After a catastrophic EMP attack on the United States, Leonard and Mel Haakensen continue their journey by bicycle to their home—and Jessica—in Colorado. Fate intervenes as they near the Colorado state border when Mel is waylaid in an unexpected attack and Leonard, despite his misgivings, decides to help rescue the mother of a young teenage girl they meet on the road.
In the meantime, Franny Schecter, Mel's best friend, has gone missing from the Haakensens’ family hideaway on the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains. Jessica and Franny’s parents hear rumors of an apocalyptic polygamist cult that may be kidnapping young women to become brides for the group’s “Prophet” as the madman continues his quest to build a kingdom in Colorado and Utah. Will they find Franny in time to rescue her? Will Leonard and Mel finally make their way over the Rocky mountains and join Jessica?
Find out in the concluding book of the Boston Fall Series.
As always this book is family-friendly, with clean language and no scenes to make you blush. A thread of Christian faith runs through the story. Due to the genre, there are some depictions of graphic violence and bloodshed.
And as in all my books, BOSTON FALL 3 asks the eternal question, “How do catastrophic events affect our faith, and where and how do we find God in the midst of tragedy?” My characters are people who wrestle with their personal beliefs and sometimes lose the match. They ask, “How can God allow suffering on a massive scale and still be called good?” The same questions I ask myself all the time… My characters, like myself, often don’t find the answer and have to live with the ambiguity. That, after all, is the life of faith.

Great read!
Such a great read! I really enjoyed this book. The ways the characters had to adapt to various situations and the interactions between them were really well done. I had been looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint. A definite recommend!

Great Story!
The Boston series gave me many hours of wonderful reading and also interesting ideas and thoughts to ponder for the future. While there is inevitably violence, the author didn’t make the entire story about that. The story is first and foremost about the response of everyday normal (and some crazy) people when life gets impossible and deadly. It is about strength of character, friends, family and faith. Reading apoc fiction reminds me to be thankful everyday for a good life and common luxuries like plentiful safe water, easy communication and being to travel effortlessly. So many places in the world do not have that even now without an apocalypse.

what happened to Sherpa
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. There never was a slow, dull part.
I'm an animal person. And am wondering what happened to Sherpa, the Border Collie that Allen adopted. No mention at all in the third book.

Book was awesome. I am a member of CMA and was surprised to see it referenced in one of the books.
Series is awesome and could definitely see this happening at anytime. Anyone needs to read these to be prepared for any disaster big or small.

Continues the Fall story wonderfully!
Need to continue the story with some of the dropped off characters. I do not believe the inventive and often unique plot lines could ever originate in me. Thank you for great stories to delight an old reader like me!

Boston Fall 3
Looking forward to book 4. The action keeps rolling. The characters are so real and their adventures are keeping me awake at night.

A Trial of Faith
I have enjoyed all 3 of the Boston Fall books. If you’re going to continue this story line I will glad to read them. Looking forward to the next book.

Not sure what to think of the words "make America great again" towards the end of the story. Was that on purpose?
