Randall, Thomas and family are not exactly the sharpest tools in the box for supposed preppers. Their designated bug out location is 120 miles away from where they all live-a cabin by a lake. They only have a week of supplies left at the bug out location when Randall gets there, no winter clothing, no working vehicles and a lack of gun power. None of the family have a vehicle that works after an EMP to get them the 120 miles to the cabin so the brothers have to go on foot and leave all their supplies behind. That is just dreadful planning! Randall is a known prepper, blogger and writer online yet he fails to know anything about a prepper compound near his cabin that has 2000 people and tried to recruit his family. He knows even less than Jon Snow...
The decisions that Randall takes are pretty dumb. First he goes outside to the street after the EMP hits only to decide it's safer to stay indoors seconds later. He waits a full 24 hours to go and find his parents who failed to mention going to the cabin that week. He makes no attempt to scout his neighbourhood for an old vehicle to get his supplies to the cabin. When he is hunting food, his brother stands aimlessly beside him and lets three armed men sneak up on them. He forgets to check his radio for news. He should have avoided the abandoned homes and kept moving, a mistake that got Thomas captured. He gets ambushed every time he sets foot outdoors and he seems to want to talk rather than shoot the bad guys. The bad guys are poor preppers too if a small group of people like Randall's can break into The Compound. I also didn't like the jumping back and forward in time between the events now and when the EMP happened. I like a cohesive flow rather than jumping around. I decided to read part two because it was also short and the author is a decent writer in spite of the dumb things happening in the plot.
2.5 stars.
