Great read.
I chose four stars because I was thoroughly entertained. The characters were believable. I can't wait until the next book comes out

At least we meet the enemy
I hate when good people die, but if the story saved everyone of them, it would be a weekly television series and feel just as fake. At least we get to see the enemy, and it isn't just fellow survivors with criminal proclivities. I'm left with how it goes from here. One question I have is even though much of the country's power grid was gone from a nuclear attack, did the country's navy and air force based outside the area of attack respond in any way?

Family, friends, country, and war
One of the stories that has your mind and heart engaged. I am am presently crying for losses as well as relief, sorrow and pride for our country and citizens. Something needed in todays political and national uncertainty! Lots of action because of war but excellent characters development as well. Hopefully the author can be persuaded to continue the story. I love the unexpected twists and turns the story takes! All 3 books are awesome!

Very good finally for War Buds
I average 10-12 books a month and I really enjoyed this series and especially this last book of the series.. I am very familiar with the geography of this are where the story takes place. What I really appreciate is the way the Author portrayed the characters strengths and flaws to illustrate the reality of life in this time of disruption, and chaos. Great characters , story line, and a believable plot. Thank you!

Suspense in overdrive
Riveting, hard to put down, tear evoking. Characters well developed to the point of liking or disliking them. Childhood friends pulled into fighting for freedom in California rather then die by the dictates of north Korean and Russian soldiers on American soil.

Absolutely brilliant
I was worried it was going to be one of those feel good ‘everyone gets back together and go save the world’ books. It wasn’t. It was gritty and full of individual personalities that all had many traits (some I even wanted to hit through the screen!) it was a fantastic 3 book series.

Read all three in the series enjoyed them all.
Too often authors in this genre fill pages with details of the weapons to the nth degree this series does not I assume some of the authors are sponsored by the weapons industry?
Either way this was entertaining and worth binge reading. As are all Jack’s books read to date.

Amazing story! George Martin Style!
I love a story that gives no regard to main characters. This had passion, conflict and pain. Rewarding isn't a word I use often but this was a great series.

Well written, however predictable. As most apocalyptic books are.
Series was a good read.. needed a little more detail and suspense to make you anxious to find out what was going to happen next

An excellent read.
The 3rd installment sees the friends arguing but I think that the circumstances in this book bring them even closer than they were as kids. Probably the best in the series so far. Keep them coming please.

Worth reading
In the last couple weeks I’ve read a lot of books by different authors, by and large this is the best series yet. It shows Americans coming together in the worst of times and doing what needs to be done. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Jack Hunt dies it again!
While I’ve reads a few hundred books in the past years, I continue to find Mr Hunt an excellent author and constantly entertaining. His books are well worth the read!!

A Huge Finish
While there may have been a rough spot in the first book, books 2 and 3 made up for it. The series finished strong than many others in this genre. Definitely worth your time.

Good story
The saga of 5 small town friends who had grown apart then brought back together by the wish of their long ago, now dead mentor. Americans doing what they do best, fighting apocalyptic adversity among each other and then banding together to fight a common enemy.

Good
Interesting storyline with intriguing characters. Ordinary people trying to survive in the wake of EMP and societal breakdown and invasion of foreign forces.
The ends too abruptly. The story is not yet complete.

Very good, believable story. Characters are realistic, some you will love, some not so much. I hope the story continues.

Great
Super story
It was funny and heart wrenching with all the things that one would face in such a event. Keep our second amendment rights or it could be a hole different.
