December 4, 2016I wrote it, so i won't say much.
I can tell you this though: this was the most fun of the four books of the series to create. It came so naturally.

this one takes up where the last one left off
the girl had the baby somewhere between the two books, no details
she had a girl, hope
he went to the neighbors farm, told him his granddaughter was born
he sent food back and keeps helping them
he took the one woman to clean fish for 6 mths in trade for supplies. he took the boy to help at the farm
then the man was shot at the cabin again. they dug the shot out but he got infected. he wasnt going anywhere
they let lettie go to the neighbors farm to help with the crop in exchange for food when the rain and hail destroyed their crops
a man came and was going to rape violet, they killed him too.
they found 2 mutilated dead bodies and a note telling them they were next
violet loves him but he loves daisy and told her no
he went off to get the men who killed his friend and burned down letties house
he left wilson, the grandfather of the baby who has the farm , to look after the women and children while hes gone
he was gone much longer than he thought. he found a woman who was after the same men, they took her sister and had her chained by the neck as they raped her
they got in a gun fight and killed the bad men. the two sisters went back and he went back
but when he got back he found daisy had been taken by the mean woman and her husband, the father of her daughter , to a fish camp. they dont know which one
so now he has to go look for her to rescue her
book ended, cant wait to read the next one

Really wanted to like it
I like the characters and the premise as well as the setting. Editing isn't bad either. The little things eat at me though. There is no external safety on a Glock, to maintain 3 full sized riding horses in the UP of Michigan after the apocalypse you'd need to plant and harvest fields of hay and grain. Seems out of character for a gang of desperados that didn't seem to trade with anyone. If armed people are always trying to kill you and you kill them, you get their guns. Why do these characters never get any more guns that are laying around after these gun fights? Plus the classic, never throw down your gun when bad guy has a hostage. And bad guys, never launch into a long monologue that gives the good guys a chance to turn the tables. Also, the never scavenge all of the other empty cabins or burn down the empty ones that drafters and bad guys have been using. These little inconsistencies really ruin it.

Agonizing!
The first two books in this series were good and well written. The editing on this one was crap. The author needs some english lessons of when to use I and me in his sentences. The final showdown was a clumsy attempt at realism. I hate to give poor ratings to an author but this part fizzled.

Good follow up to book two.
I would love this book, but I am beginning to believe that Bob, and company are cursed. No matter what happens they can’t catch a break. Spoilers for the next bit.......................?.......................................................
Why would the Weston’s take Daisy, but leave Libby there. It seems to me her father would want her with him.

This character is so bad tactically it's a miracle he has survived this long, but his story continues. The story continues with more hard times, starvation, several bizarre dream sequences and some odd character twists. I found myself wanting to scream at the guy each time he was doing the dumbest thing possible. At least the books are short and quick reads.

was excited for this next book in this series but it was very repetitive. for 3/4 of the book I felt like the same conversations about revenge happened over and over until finallyyyy he went and got revenge and the story got better.

Very good
Seems like Bob can't catch a break. It's one thing after another, at least he has his family. I enjoyed this story very much

Nice continuation. Characters draw you in.

The main character is an idiot. How many times can he make the same mistakes over and over again.

Story okay starting to get dry
Story okay starting to get dry. At least it isn't straight crazy or unrealistic. No bad to finish this story eventually

Great. But sad story.
The whole series kept me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to read book four. The story had highs and extreme lows.

I really enjoyed the series. I knew it had to end but was disappointed none the less. The ending tied up all the loose strings in a natural way. I've thought of this series since and wished it could have gone on longer but I understand a ten year period is long enough. I might read the series again.
The characters were most realistic and the story plot very relevant with today's pandemic and violence. I had to check that it hadn't been written this year but since it hadn't, it felt like a premonition. It provided insight for me into how I would survive in the world E A Lake created. I don't know that I would have survived as well as the tribe did.
Very interesting story concept and intriguing characters. I listened intently through all three books.

The continuing saga of survival in a world turned upside down. The character are very well developed and quite realistic. None of them are super survivalists, non are super heros and they all made mistakes, a very realistic book.
The author has the reader both hating and fearing what they will do to the main character and his 'family' of decent people who found themselves in a world where law was meted out by violence, where food was scarce and survival very difficult. So many situations that the author described are quite plausible and certainly makes one think about how easy we have things in our modern day world of ease and comfort. The world was thrown back to the early 1800's in one quick moment and will never be the same again. Civilisation hasn't even begun to redevelop. An excellent series of 3 books, so far.

Story keeps getting better
Again, better editing but still needs some work. I'm enjoying reading these stories and I like how the story line is growing and new characters are being added. I look forward to the next book.
