Reviews

[Vicky Lyons · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great wrap up to the series.

I have never read Mr Jones before this series. By the 3rd book I felt like the characters were my family. The books take place in a fallen world after America's enemies invade. The family, the surviving town people and multiple communities come together to survive. If you like military and our boys in blue, you will like these books. Oh, there is no profanity and we have Christians! I don't think you will be disappointed.
