Bunker #1-5
Homeland: Uprising
For the first time, all FIVE Bunker books, with over 500 Five Star reviews, is being offered in one mega-release as HOMELAND: Uprising...
A troubled explosives expert. A cyberattack on American soil. When the grid goes down, the nation's freedom hangs in the balance.
Jack Bunker vowed to never step foot on another battlefield. But the former Combat Engineer’s new peaceful life in the Colorado mountains is shattered after an attack takes out America’s power grid. When suspicious activity plagues the nearby high-security military facility, Jack fears he’ll soon have another war on his hands.
As the story unfolds, Bunker suspects a foreign invasion is imminent, leaving him no other choice but to somehow transform the mild-mannered townsfolk into military-grade guerrilla warriors. He knows if their small town surrenders, America won’t be far behind.
But his plan won’t be easy, not when his makeshift troops begin to pry into his painful past. Sharing the truth with them could cost him their trust, but he’ll never earn their command by keeping what haunts him a secret.
Homeland: Uprising is a non-stop, high-octane, post-apocalyptic thriller. If you like pulse-pounding action, resourceful warriors, and political intrigue, then you’ll love Jay J. Falconer’s explosive tale of true American grit.

A glympse into the future?
I liked this story . It tells of the horse manure that the government and the powers that be are feeding us. I worry what this covid 19 is realy all about, if its bad for only a few older and sickly people why not quarantine them and let the world get on with life. No they decide to ruin the economy. WHAT IS THERE END GAME, MORE CONTROL?

This was perhaps the most poorly written book I have read thus far in my Kindle reading life. I am choosy and rarely find myself caught up in such literary garbage. How this book got so many 5-star ratings is beyond me and I suspect there is a little cheating of some sort going on with these ratings. This book is really THAT bad. Want proof? Ok, so a sheriff's deputy rides a bike out to check on a resident no one seems to like. Upon arriving at her destination, she locks the brakes and skids to a stop, causing the following literary nonsense: quote- "The dust cloud she'd made floated on past, almost as if it had staged a mutiny and decided to set out on its own in the high country of Colorado" -unquote. Really? The dust cloud staged a ...mutiny?? This is actually written as such and it gets even worse, as this author's extreme lack of literary prowess unfolds time and again. People have "video recorders" (the author's words) in their minds that play back memories, the reader is endlessly reminded that Megan and her dad, Franklin, have dark skin; ebony skin is also tossed in occasionally. Megan is referred to as "tiny" or having "tiny ebony (or dark-skinned) hands" over and over and the fact this author has so little literary ability comes roaring alongside as you punish yourself to keep reading. Most of the kids in this story have tiny feet and hands, the small town has a 2-story town hall, complete with an elevator, gift shop and marble floors, the town's sheriff is an overweight, clueless man who treats the mayor as if he is higher than God, and it just goes on and on. I did not make it to the end... 157 pages was all I could handle. I am sincerely curious about all the high ratings. Did I get a rejected copy of this book that was tossed over the transom, subsequently being somehow retrieved by the office janitor and then sent to my Kindle? This book is not even worth one star, truthfully. It is extremely poorly written, the characters are placeboes of actual characters, and the storyline is pure, unadulterated nonsense. Do not waste your time here. Bad authors seem to find ways of getting 5-star ratings from friends and associates, I presume, as I dare you to honestly read this garbage and tell me it is really worth 5 stars. The absolute worst Kindle book I have attempted to read thus far...

I liked the series overall but the author is very heavy-handed with descriptors and space fillers.
This is a scary realistic look of what could happen from an attack standpoint for which I believe Americans are woefully unprepared.
As the series goes on it gets more unbelievable as the author makes the main character a super super super hero… I didn’t like the end of the book where Jack seems to get all the credit and Albert it’s basically just written out at the end with no clear definition of what happened to him after his terrific contributions to saving the town. Yes he was a creep, but weird that the author chose not to tie up the ends of Alberts story. I was kind of hoping he would come to the same level of redemption that Jack had and they would remain good friends.

Die hard?
Jack, a recovering asshole, makes the best of an insane situation. FYI, perps are called assholes by cops. Jack's idea of a 12 step program reminds me of the die hard movies, one man against the world, sometimes questioning his path to recovery. Or maybe jack reacher would be an even better fit. Rough, tougth and glory folow a man and his demons. This is a combo of the books and I enjoyed it. Recommended

I was totally engaged with the characters and the plot. Entertaining narration. Very sparse profanity (only 1 or 2 and no “f”) . Main character is not a religious but there’s no hate talk for those in the plot who are. This is how I see dystopian plans should it happen. And we can, if it does, only hope so.

Everyone who loves apocalyptic fiction will love this series.
Yes, Mr. Falconer, Jack needs to have the rest of his story told. This book was very informative and realistic. Jack's character development beautifully human, with flaws and wrong choices being overcome by determination and his desire to do the right thing. Outstanding job.

One for the PAW History Books
I picked this one out on a whim. Not knowing much about the author, I picked it up with some trepidation. After the start, I couldn’t stop. The characters were easily followed, the book well written and the story enthralling.
I loved this book!

Good
Well written interesting story, one long battle. Several interesting characters . My only gripe is the whole story hinges on the one super, super hero who does everything right and never sleeps.

Great story
I was not real sure what to expect, having read several EPM type thrillers, but this was one of the best. Great story lines lots of twists and turns. I do hope there will be more story’s about Clearwater and the whole gang.

Red Dawn for adults
A great concept and execution, action scenes told in great detail.
If you like Red Dawn and Tomorrow before the war began you’ll like this.
Main character is great, sequels should be considered.

Action packed story and very intriguing
The author has written a very intriguing story about how people will react when they are faced with the adversity of being invaded by a foreign country. Very enjoyable and exciting reading.

Loved the characters
Didn't want to put it down. Read it on my Kindle. Then had Elexa read it when I was doing chores, while running errands, gardening and tending my chickens.
Some consist theory crap. I overlooked that. The story was great.

Battle scenes were described were described in great detail.
Action was fairly spread out over the story. The author was a little wordy which made the reader to lose interest between action scenes. This book still was excellent overall.

Good story line
Story was good. Characters lacked depth. Needed more action and correlation to what happened. Would have made for stronger character development . Loved some of the survival lessons. Would still recommend.

Born to Fight
This story was a good read, that has all the action and adventure you could ask for. The author created a good idea for the setting for this book and made it count.
