"Prepper" ist die neueste apokalyptische Abenteuerreihe von Traveler-Autor Tom Abrahams.
Texas has reached the boiling point. The second week of grid down in Texas and lawlessness is rampant. Hunger has reached starvation. An act of kindness becomes expectations of more. Envy becomes anger, becomes hate, becomes stupid, becomes dead. On top of everything else, the worst storm in a century is barreling toward the east coast of Texas. Great characters, both prepared and clueless, lead the story line into the second week of darkness in the great state of Texas. EMP armed hot air balloons exploded over vulnerable parts of the state. The power grid went down across all of Texas. Great story! Great action! Great read!
One of the finest EMP/Cyber attack series I have had the privilege to read....A unique political /economic slant that centered the attack on the state of Texas with economic and ecological dominoes tumbling nationwide. The results run the gamut from nuclear fallout, petrol chemical disasters, transportation and travel shutdown, rioting, wholesale murder and domestic mercenaries struggling for power. Dark, grim, and deadly....and an all too realistic look at a possibility we still remain unprepared for as a reality.
The only reason I'm finishing this series is I've read pretty much all the other EMP stories. We finally got to the scene from the prologue of the *first* book in this book. This series is so damn slow. Each book should not take place over a single day, we should have been on day 10 (the prologue) by the end of the first book.
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first two. It seemed like a lot of scenes were drug out, just filling space. I'm getting ready to start book 4, and hope it's back to the pace of the book 2.
Loved this one more than book 2. Everyone has changed and grown a lot in this instalment. Jack especially. Would like to see Betty become a little more fleshed out. And Opha May - she is the best.
The series is good but it feels like a retread of The Perseid Collapse by Steven Konkoly. I guess there are only so many ways to tell this type of story.
Third book in a good series and the action is still spread between Jack in the suburbs and G. Man and the Texas gov etc. I found it a bit odd that Gov Fine knew who the traitor was and kept getting distracted before getting to him. We also know that there was a bigger puppet master than Slate. At the end, went to the first scene of the first book. Onward to #4.
Another great book. Although it's not my personal style with politics and violence, it's still very well written and is a great continuation of the first two prepper books.
