In this third installment of the Amazon Top Ten Bestselling Equipping Modern Patriots series, Jonathan Hollerman chronicles the survivors as they endeavor to pick up the pieces and start over in the ashes of a world destroyed by a nationwide, long-term grid down scenario. After the devastating battle at the East Homestead, Sean’s family regroups and makes some new alliances; however, with those growing bonds, new risks arise. Colonel Harris struggles to feed the 31st Regiment while attempting to offer assistance to the locals and contemplates risking his own life for the future of his country. A stranger arrives in Tionesta with unknown aspirations, and an ominous looting force the size of a small army entrenches nearby. Despite the emerging prospects for a new beginning, a shadow looms over the fresh buds of optimism.
This series was really thought provoking. As I finish this book we are at the beginning of the corona virus outbreak and travel restrictions are in place. It is easy to see that we need to be ready for anything now as panic in my community is starting to set in.
Enjoyed the story, characters and interaction between town, military and survival group. Seemed more realistic depiction of circumstances should EMP occur. Unfortunately our government doesn't seem to address this so each family better do their own prepping as I too believe we are gonna be on our own.
The incorporation of the Colonel and his men as main characters of the story, as well as Willy, made an already great series all the more interesting. Typically, later books in the series can tend to wain as the plot becomes somewhat predictable, not in this case.
We live in crazy times and nobody knows what tomorrow might bring. Although this is just a novel I'm able to put myself into the story because our reality is crazy right now.
