"Be not afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by..."
The nation boils in a cauldron of economic collapse and sectarian violence. Isolated and under siege, the president withdraws into the security of his flying bunker while attempting to implement his Amero Plan to save the union and restore order. Assistant Treasury Secretary Maiden Lane, her loyalty strained by serving two masters, finds herself in peril beyond the government's zone of control. Jimmy Marzan is separated from his company during a firefight and rescues an orphaned boy on the desolate road leading back to his unit. And Jess Clayton defends her home and young daughter from repossession and armed looters. They must learn how to fight for survival in a world after money dies.
Indivisible: Come and Take It is the second book in the Indivisible series following Indivisible: With Justice for Some.
Orwell is alive and well. He has adapted his writing to current events, and goes by the name Troy Grice. The second installment of Indivisible is just as good if not better than the first. So realistic, and chilling its impossible to put down. Keep em coming.
Troy Grice is by far the best writer in the prepper/dystopian fiction genre—his characters are vivid and real, his scenes are gripping and page-turning, and his dystopian world is as believable as it is bleak. The first Indivisible was my introduction to the author and it set the bar pretty high. Since then, Grice has honed his craft and I'm excited to read everything he puts out.
This volume tells the story of two unrelated characters on different journeys in different classes of a deteriorating United States: the rebel Jimmy Marzen and the politico Maiden Lane. Both of their stories are gripping and compelling as they navigate the bizarre state of affairs of a First World civil war.
The main issue I had with this novel is that it is clearly a middle volume and a prelude to the final (?) installment of the trilogy—it's not a standalone work and the reader may feel let down without a true climax or resolution. In any case, I'm still looking forward to the next installment and recommend the series.
