Beyond Terrorism: Survival
BEYOND TERRORISM: SURVIVAL
Jihad in America travels on the wind.
While a nuclear terrorist attack is unlikely, in a bioterror epidemic, the genetically engineered plague is invisible. Our borders are vulnerable, metal detectors are useless, even as ISIS, the Islamic State, raises its menacing black flag in Syria and Iraq.
It travels from person to person, from friend to friend or family member. A cough or sneeze is a lethal weapon. It’s not just ebola anymore.
You yourself may be the one to infect your loved ones.
What if the gridlock of party conflict causes government collapse, as it’s unable to move beyond constant jockeying for political advantage while people die by the millions?
What if only the people themselves can redeem the future? But where is mutual trust when every day is a struggle for dwindling resources?
Could the answer lie in our shared humanity? Does our real strength lie in our connection as individuals, and not in our institutions? Read the story of two unlikely strangers who found a way to survive the apocalypse, the deadliest terrorist attack in history, and made a new life for themselves in a recovering world.

If you like watching molasses pour in the winter, or watching grass grow, then this is the book for you. Action comes in little spurts in between pages and pages of mind numbing talk.

Another book you don't want to put down. This could become a reality and is scary to think about. The story was one of survival and it had a lot of twists and turns. As Brett and Lee continued from one situation to another, they unknowingly began to grow closer together. The story line in Outpost was interesting as to the planning part. The Mayor took charge and made it into a dictatorship but lacked the experience to set it up properly for the protection of the town. When the disaster happened, almost immediately the mayor started circling the wagons because the ineptitude of the Federal government would be no help. The individual eventually realized he is on his own. Who can you really count on when your life is on the line?
