Best book I've read in years
I have read many apocalypse/EMP series. This one is terrific. The character development is superb, allowing the reader to understand and empathize with their decisions and dilemmas.
One outstanding characteristic is that none of the main characters is without flaw. Many writers tend to neglect that key detail, making characters one dimensional and fake. These folks seem like people you could know.
There are multiple plot lines involving different people, so when one is resolved, plenty remain to spur on the reader. I read this series in a matter of days, but there were many points where I could not put my Kindle down, and read more hours of the day than not.
These characters are a great mix of types, with people who are vulnerable and caring, as well as military men and law enforcers who are more hardened or stoic. There are plenty of descriptions of firearms and battle to keep those interested engaged. I had that tense, edge-of-my-seat feeling many times.
This is the second series I've read by this author. Both were very good, so I'm thrilled to add Kyle Stone to my "must read" list of authors.
