REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Summary:
EMP. A week...only a week. No power. No phones. No computers. No cars. No water. Mankind has gone from the leading edge of the modern world to the Dark Ages in a week. Starving gangs of people are roaming the streets. Law and order is breaking down. Mike Grant is trying to get to his family. The family have a cabin in Ohio. He has to get there. His fear is that he’ll get there and his family won’t be there.
Genre:
Adventure
Apocalypse
Disaster
End of the World
Fiction
Science fiction
Why this book:
A world fallen into disaster. Of course that sucks me in.
______________________________________________________________________________
Least Favorite Character:
The bikers all have a bit of a strawman construction to them in this book. Bad guys just to be bad guys with stereotypical biker-isms.
The Feel:
Thanks to the denouement, you get the feel that the journey has to be repeated in the next book and the other characters will still stand in opposition to the bikers.
Pacing:
The pace was alright, not great, not torrentially page turning, but good.
Hmm Moments:
The EMP gives you a world zombie-like in its devastation...without zombies. Nicely done.
Old cars and motorcycles with no computer chips are immune to EMPs. Good to know.
______________________________________________________________________________
Last Page Sound:
Only a partial climax there. The storm of the bikers are still right there on the horizon...closer than the horizon.
Author Assessment:
I would give another book by this author a look based on summary and cover.
Knee Jerk Reaction:
it’s alright

I'm liking the story a lot, it's quite engrossing, but the free Kindle copy I got is full of spelling mistakes. I find it a little off-putting. Still, it's a good story.
