About the author

Steven graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1993, receiving a bachelor of science in English literature. He served the next eight years on active duty, traveling the world as a naval officer assigned to various Navy and Marine Corps units. His extensive journey spanned the globe, including a two-year tour of duty in Japan and travel to more than twenty countries throughout Asia and the Middle East.

From enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq as a maritime boarding officer in the Arabian Gulf, to directing aircraft bombing runs and naval gunfire strikes as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) assigned to a specialized Marine Corps unit, Steven's "in-house" experience with a wide range of regular and elite military units brings a unique authenticity to his thrillers.

He still wakes up at "zero dark thirty" to write for most of the day. When "off duty," he spends as much time as possible outdoors or travelling with his family--and dog.

Steven is the bestselling author of ten novels and several novellas, including a commissioned trilogy of novellas based on the popular Wayward Pines series. His canon of work includes the popular Black Flagged Series, a gritty, no-holds barred covert operations and espionage saga; The Perseid Collapse series, a post-apocalyptic thriller epic chronicling the events surrounding an inconceivable attack on the United States; and The Fractured State series, a near future, dystopian thriller trilogy set in the drought ravaged southwest

[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was a duo effort between the two authors of different skills & backgrounds. So there was a blending of ideas that was helpful I think. There was similarity but also some differing ideas presented. This wasn’t an end all book but a nice addition to your preparedness world.

[Stephen Wells · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quick, accessible read for "everyday prepping". Recommended.

[Sheila · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book. A different approach than most prepping books. What's the point? It made me stop and rethink some aspects of prepping.

[Wenzel Roessler · Rating 4 out of 5]

For what it is, the book is fine. It is the author's guide and suggestions for what to do in an emergency. Good advice and facts that we all need to hear. But the book reads like an infomercial (Being prepaid is important Randy, that's right, Steve). The useing of CAPS and bold to emphasize their point is overused, but the facts and points they present are valid.
