This book follows the story of what happened to Cory and Ben on the dangerous journey to find their family members. It's only at the very end that we return to events at the ranch and get a resolution on what happened at the end of book four.
Cory and Ben are moving into the city, trying to avoid the gang warfare and armed psychos that are roaming the streets but Cory is not prepared to stand silently by when they witness the beginning of a gang rape, even if it puts their own mission in jeopardy. Cory's ruthless streak is concerning Ben who wants to stay alive and locate his sons but you can fully understand why Cory feels that all the scum deserve to be executed. I can't disagree with him.
Rachel is alive and with her doctor boyfriend Tim in a safer part of town. Cory wants both of them to come to the ranch for safety but they are not going to be easily persuaded, especially when Tim and Cory lock horns from the start. Ben is anxious to get moving to try and join up with his sons who are already ahead of them and moving towards the ranch so any delays here could be crucial. When the situation has been resolved, Ben can finally try to get his sons.
It is as Cory and Ben near home that they start to realise that things are worse than expected. They have run ins with a strange cult and are shocked to see military vehicles from the Mexican Army coming from the south towards their town. Not sure what it means, they move quickly towards the ranch where they are about to get a big shock.
It's hard to review this book without giving everything away so I have tried to be vague where possible. I enjoyed the change of scene in this book, seeing what happens in a city where law and order has completely broken down, unlike the community trying to work together in the town near the ranch. I also liked the chance to see Ben as a leading character in the plot as I very much like him. Cory is turning into a ruthless bad ass which is not a bad thing considering the way the plot is turning. I was very anxious to see what was happening back at the ranch after the book four cliffhanger but we didn't get much detail before the book finished. Gah!
Only one book left in the series so I'm a bit unsure how the latest twists are going to play out, given a short book to fit it into.

I have enjoyed this story more than most of the preppers stories I have read.
Each volume has kept me glued till I finished even if it was in the wee hours of the morning. Bobby Andrews is be very talented writer. I hope he continues to share his talent with us for a very long time. I hope there will be a 6th volume or more.

Prepper's Crucible vol5
This it's the volume I couldn't put down and it's not til the last sentence in the book for it gives you any indication of the cliffhanger from volume 3. I am looking forward to the final volume just to hear the story of what happened to Don.
