Deep Winter
From a relatively normal American life to a survival situation in moments, this story follows the Drummond family as they learn to adapt to a now, very different community...and world.

This is not a novel, it is a record of conversations. The book lacks descriptive elements; the reader gets no insight into the characters, except "Rick"...the can-do miracle man. I am a huge fan of this genre, but I was very disappointed with this book.
The main character is prepared for the meltdown in too many unbelievable ways. He just happens to own a utility style "bucket truck"? He just happens to have the foresight to survive earthquakes, looters, economic collapse & disease? For every problem, he has something stored in his garage, barn or basement! Barrels of food, generators, how-to books, gold & silver currency, weapons & on & on... No need goes unmet, he can whip up a solution to survival in a second, & then stops to pray before moving on to the next amazing feat. The other characters are mere shadows, there just to reflect his brilliance in meeting their needs...
One more annoying item: "k" as a response, is used innumerable times throughout the book, by kids, adults, strangers...weird. The elapsed time element seems off, as well. "Rick" & friends do tremendous amounts of physical labor...people take days to travel...then you look at the dates of the narrative...& only two weeks have gone by!
On the plus side, I found the China/Mexico alliance story line very clever; although I am doubtful the US could ever defeat 3 billion Chinese!

The info dumps in this book are extreme. When the earthquake damages the house we get the complete description of everything in the house, everything that is salvaged or destroyed and everything stored in the barn and what order it was all done in. The other random irritations is that Carl says 'K' in response to every question at least once a page, the women are only seen when it is time to feed their all action menfolks and there is so little conversation between the characters that it is impossible to get any idea of their personality or care enough what happens to them. They are just cardboard cutouts! And HOW can a prepper whose brother lives in Seattle near the volcanoes have to look up a dictionary to find out what a lahar flow is??? I mean really? I just felt I was plodding through endless details I didn't need and getting bogged down in stuff that didn't matter when time could have been spent getting to know the characters better.

If you enjoy EOTW fiction, this first book in a trilogy (#2-Shattered, #3 Remnant) will be an interesting read. Although there is plenty of action within the story, it concentrates more on the lives of the Drummond family and a few relatives and close friends as they experience earthquakes, eruption of Mt Ranier, collapse of the US and global economy, nuclear war and biological threats all while trying to survive in their subdivision in Spokane. Lots of important information about key subjects a family would face if these things occurred today. The second book takes us through the beginnings of reconstruction and rebuilding a decimated world. Have not read the third but starting it now. I have enjoyed this series.

Similar to Rawles' "Patriots", this book serves as the author's platform to describe his preparations for a major regional disaster (which leads to a national/ international level crisis). Similar to my feelings about "Patriots", there are elements in this story that strain belief or are simply too convenient to take seriously (neighbors leaving the protagonist tremendously valuable resources when they leave town, for example). Still, there is much food for thought in the book and that serves a valuable purpose.

Deep Winter is the first of three books in a series set in the Pacific Northwest that detail survival after a natural disaster. This may be a novel, but there is a lot of good information on getting and being prepared both physically and mentally for what will happen if the world as you know it abruptly changes.

I rarely write reviews, but this book was so bad I just felt the need to write a warning. This book is filled with bigoted stereotypes and outright racism. The author appears to be a nativist, patriarchal misogynist. Women belong in the kitchen, men and boys are armed to the teeth and aren't afraid to shoot brown people. I hated this book and wish I had never bought it.

I have read One Second After, Alas Babylon, Lucifers Hammer, Lights Out, and the Dies the fire series. Deep Winter is as good if not better than all the other reads. Cant wait to read Sherry's next in line...

Mr. Sherry doesn't really seem to get that half the population is as capable as he is. That part was very disappointing.

I'm 20% into this one and teetering on the verge of giving up. Post-apocalyptic is probably my favourite genre, but I don't, as a rule, choose instruction manuals to read for fun. There's some attempt to write this book as a story, but it's pretty clear that the author's main agenda is to describe (in great detail) what you need to prep for an emergency. Mount Rainier erupts. The family is hit by the mega earthquake that follows and then cut off by liquefaction (mud), and then suffer through ash fall. Within the first few minutes of the quake they are all bugged out from the house via their emergency ladders, with their emergency de-bunking kit bags and sheltering in their barn which has generators, heat, cooking facilities, water-filtration, food, gas to last them and their neighbours for as long as it takes. It's all quite instructive. (My bag of rice, saved in the garage, looks pretty pathetic to be honest.)
But I think I've made all that seem more exciting than it actually is in the story. When you're focusing on the tensile strength of your ladder and not the actual events causing you to climb down it, something is wrong from a narrative pov.
There is a huge amount of fun, however, to be had imagining women reading this, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of their reviews. Mr Drummond runs a tight ship. Woman and kids know their place. But I guess he's the only one who knows how to work the generators, the stoves, the radios, the water-purification systems (he built and installed it all), so he's top of the competence hierarchy. Sorry ladies.
I'll persevere with this because there is a good story in this book, it's just not the one currently being told. I mean, even the shooting of four looters wasn't exciting! How can you get that wrong?
I'll update when finished or given up.
Well, huh, I did finish this book and was quite glad I stuck with it. Poor old Drummond family, not only did they suffer an earthquake and volcanic ash, they were then hit with the US currency crashing, war with China, Mexico invading the south, illegal immigrants turning on the American people to support the invasion, the US government falling, the federal system collapsing and State rule returning, and then the author threw in a Chinese bio-weapon pandemic to round off the story. But it was all told in such a dry way, basically Rick Drummond listening in on his shortwave radio to news reports, that it was all quite logical and realistic. But even whilst all this was happening (somewhere else and to other people), the Drummond family were discussing planting seeds or cleaning boots from the ash mud, or eating something, or keeping warm, or... well, all the things you actually would fill the day with while the world around you collapsed. So in some ways this was an incredibly realistic book, it was just a bit... boring. A bit weird for an apocalyptic novel. More text book than fiction, more political polemic than fun.
I genuinely think this book would trigger some readers too much to cope with. This is extremely Christian, patriarchal, anti-Government, pro-gun. There's no doubt the author (speaking through Rick Drummond) thinks post earthquake, volcano, mud, nuclear war, invasion, federal collapse, pandemic America is better off than pre all those disasters.
There's no doubt this author knows his prepping stuff but he's not really an author. I wish he'd partnered up with a better writer, as massively edited and rewritten this could have been absolutely brilliant. As it was, I winced at lines such as "I put the water on to boil. The water was fresh that day. Water was something else I'd have to think about for the future. The water started to simmer." Okay, I admit I made that up, but it was a pretty good impression of reading this at time: constant repetition of words and pedantic descriptions of every menial task.
So, in summary, read if you enjoy being triggered, or read if you need to check your prepping is up to scratch. I don't think I'll be reading the (3) sequels.

Decide what direction you want your book to go. You have too many competing themes here. I would suggest a good old fashioned Volcano & Earthquake. I don't mind the Bible quoting but really hate the politics and north vs south nonsense. Get some technical help with all the geological issues - get into depth there. Get a better world view of what would really happen during this type of LIMITED disaster and it is limited, it is not cutting America in half. Mt. St. Helens' did not bring America to her knees and neither would this. When Mt. St. Helen's went off it didn't collapse the economy either. I do appreciate that there isn't a foul language and when you do write a word like that it comes out "sh*t". You have a lot going for you but you really need to get some technical help and decide what book you want to write. Separate the themes - what you have here isn't enough to collapse America. It is a nasty hiccup but it won't bring America down and cause all the chaos you have listed here. It just wouldn't. America is way stronger than this. Canada? Does Canada collapse too? Your story is all over the place there isn't much of a believability factor in this alt right fairy tale; not one shred. It is so far fetched, it seems like you want America to fail. Remember, America has had some nasty disasters already and it did not crumble the economy, money did not become toilet paper. Get a map and really take a look at the size of America. Don't underestimate Americans. We came through World War ll just fine. We made it through so many disasters and sallied forth! Time to "man" or "woman" up here.
3 stars for disaster description (get some geological technical help)
0 star for alt right politics
0 star for lack of Christianity ~ how can that be? The way the author speaks of the disabled like they are worthless people just waiting for checks to arrive. Not to mention, I am sure Jesus would not have gunned down looters. (yes, I know it is Martial law... just thought it was a bit awkwardly written) (This book seems to be touted as Christian Fiction)
0 stars ~ science fiction ~
0 star for north vs south
1 star for being woefully unprepared for warm weather of sleet and ice... (grew up and live in Minnesota... that is shirtsleeve weather for us... very amusing to read about)
1 star for really bad grammar... very distracting ended up letting Kindle "read it to me"
What kind of book is it?
Is it an Earthquake?
Is it a Volcano?
Is it a financial collapse?
Is it alt right wing?
Is it Red vs Blue?
Is it "South vs North"
Is it one man only?
Why it is all of those and more!!! Remember those old infomercials? There is always more!
Welfare and Disabled people are "lumped" together. Apparently, welfare people and disabled do not work and turn into rioting, lawless, murdering, pillaging gremlins overnight. Gee... does the author not know of the working poor and the working while disabled?
Disabled people's to do list:
1. Riot
2. Loot
3. Pillage
4. Murder
5. Mayhem
6. Rape
7. Rest
8. Find ~ walker, wheelchair, cane, portable defib, porta potty (just add on to the list of what you need to keep you going during your murder & mayhem because you didn't get your "checks and welfare shipped" to you.
The book starts out rather exciting, wow... earthquake er... volcano... er... "you go fix us something to eat..." then it just starts to fly apart, Then we go into inventory mode about all the "project cars" which leaves you wondering what does this guy do for a living? Ok... Location 281 - he owns a business in specialized planning, wetland restoration of contaminated industrial sites. We find out he goes to a lot of auctions, dumpster dives and is a basic pack rat. He magically has whatever he needs... no struggles there. He makes a point how cold his winter is, and there is snow but uses a wheelbarrow instead of a sled to haul things through the snow.
Golden Retrievers... these are the two best characters of the book! Love Golden Retrievers.
The wife, Karen, is there for cooking and well cooking... I am surprised and shocked that she doesn't go out and help excavate items from the home.
Ok, now 'location 472 we find out Mt. Rainier went off and there is a "lahar" flow and it was felt up and down the western seaboard. As horrible as it is... this would not cripple all of America and cause a financial collapse. It wouldn't make sense. What happened with the rest of the world that some of our Allies wouldn't come to our aide? This event would not trigger the fall of America like the author seems to wish for. It might be like that if Yellowstone ever blew but not Mt. Rainer. The author should bring in some technical help there. Then there is some talk of volcanic ash but no mention of not breathing in the ash. Again... some technical help is needed here.
Rick seems to always have enough food, clothes, and gas to send everyone off with care packages. Always seems to have gas or kerosene endless list of supplies... quite a bit of the book is just really an endless list of supplies and more magically appear. Always more.. Always. I mean always.
We are "graced" with so many financial lectures that I wasn't sure what just happened.

I enjoyed the story, disturbing at times to think some of those things could someday happen. Also made me think of easy things we can all do to be more prepared and self-sufficient in our own lives. There are always events that happen unexpectedly catching us off guard, it could be something as simple as an ice storm taking out power lines for 3 days or not being able to go to the store as you normally would. The writing was sometimes a little too simple and overly descriptive in my opinion. I did enjoy following the characters and will look forward to reading the next book to see how they adapt in their new reality.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I love this genre, and when I can relate to the family and friends it makes it even better. This family is Christian, which dictates all actions. Their concern for neighbors, the law enforcement, the military, and family members shows their Christian beliefs. They provide hot meals for those nearby, not necessarily expecting anything in return. But the theme is still survival. Which comes across well. Halfway through this book, I bought the next two in the series. I can see this being on my list of favorites to re-read often.
August 4, 2013
Totally mind blowing series so real. I don't think I will ever be satisfied with any other book I'll ever read after reading this series. The bar has just been set too high. I'll look for more books like this series and I know I will continuously be disappointed. I don't know how to express myself to tell you how GREAT this 3 book series is. This might not the genre that you read but if your willing to just give it a try I promise you won't be disappointed. I just hope you give it a chance. Have a Goodread.
July 15, 2023
I really enjoyed this book and the other two in the series....I read them right after another and they provoked a great deal of thought and contemplation. There is also a 4th book in the series that is set in the same time frame but in a different part of the country that I also enjoyed. The 4th book is a free chapter by chapter on the author's blogspot - http://deepwinterstory.blogspot.com/2.... The 4th story is "Distance.". All in all a well done series and worth the read.
August 14, 2012
This book started out with a BANG, literally. Lost pace pretty fast and deteriorated into a bunch of stilted conversation. The main character became tiresome with his self congratulations. It was an interesting view into how fast society would break down in a major crises. I just wish there had been a bit more action, and a bit less preaching. Was also too long for what it turned out to be. 3 stars
May 16, 2011
The story itself is interesting, but the author is in serious need of an editor. The grammar alone makes it nearly unreadable, but the lists of brand name crap and way-too-detailed descriptions of house repair are face-slappingly dull. If you can look past all that, there are good ideas underneath, and a disaster story more human than most books manage.
March 15, 2011
This was a intersting book. It was a bit anoying that the father of the family knew everything about everything.He also could predict all things that were going to happen. Other that that I did like it. I will most likely read the next in the series.
April 10, 2015
Gave up after a few chapters. Just poorly written. Author spends far too much time talking about "prepper gear" and not enough on the story. Is there even a story? I'll never know, because this one is forsaken.
March 25, 2014
I love this genre and I had wanted to love this book, however I didn't. It was too long and drowned in details of the tiniest things. The story would benefit greatly if someone used a nice red pen!

Much like Boyd Craven's Good Fences, Deep Winter also features a protagonist who miraculously has the good fortunes to have a garage and barn containing virtually every need and desire for thirteen people when the earthquake hits Spokane and follow on economic collapse takes down the country.
I find novels where the character has literally everything for the unfolding survival situation a less interesting than others, there's no real struggle per se, yes he has to move into his barn because the house is damaged and things are pretty crap but nearly every adversity faced results in going to the basement, shed, or an outbuilding and grabbing one of the multitude of things he has stored away. I get that there are people out there like this, but I feel like people having literally everything (excluding livestock) would be in the extreme minority.
Asides for this, it's a pretty alright novel if you're not expecting much in the way of character depth. There's a multitude of religious references but it seemed to manage not to become preachy which is good.
There was a small plot error where the main character gets a struggled to get a fold up trailer out of a poor storage position, then parks it in a far more accessible place, only for it to be than back at the original position ~100 pages later for them to struggle all over again getting it out. Not that big a deal but noticeable.
Overall, entertaining but nothing outstanding.

This novel, originally a Web series, tells the tale of a family trying to survive after an earthquake. The setting is intriguing - after the earthquake and eruption of Mt. Rainier devastates the Pacific Northwest, other nations launch an economic attack that causes the U.S. economy to collapse. Built on a shaky house.of cards, the novel is almost prophetic as to what may happen, including (spoiler alert!) a weaponized flu virus coming from China.
However intriguing this concept is, the execution is poor. The pace is sluggish, and a good portion of the book reads more like a how-to guide, rather than an action-filled novel. Typos and grammatical errors can be found on nearly every page, and there is at least one pretty severe copyright violation. The book is in desperate need of an editor. Some of the characters seem pretty flat as well - background filler until the author decides it is time to throw them into the narrative again.
Despite its numerous problems, Deep Winter can still be an entertaining read. For those who enjoy post-apocalyptic novels, it could be worth your time. If you prefer your stories more polished, though, you may want to look elsewhere.

Skip this one.
You would be better served by getting the latest issue of HandyMan and “Prepper”. magazines. Leave the apocalypse thrillers to someone who actually understands plot, character creation and other writing elements. Because....this is just one guys non-stop laundry list fantasy of racist, sexist, political soapbox diatribe rants masquerading as a story. I love the genre, so was sorely disappointed.

No The Usual Apocalyptic Story
Not an EMP, not a getting home story....just a pleasant read with insightful prepping information.
Take away: Get your coop now and fill it with chickens.

Rather a to-do list to survive a catastrophic event when you want to be the leader-daddy and keep women in the kitchen for the cookin' and the cleanin' and relegate the other makes to lesser jobs than you and everyone had better be a white Christian.

This is one of those books that you read and just shake your head at. Not because there’s something wrong with it, but because someday it will happen sooner or later. People blindly believe that it will never happen.,,..or something like it will not happen. People are fools

Very descriptive and honest
Loved the Christian view of this book. Would recommend for those curious as to what our world would be like with a disastrous event as this.

Frightening
In many ways this is frightening. Not because I live in an earthquake or volcano zone but because it can happen to anyone at any time.

This book read like a survival manual. Almost no storyline to it. It did give me a few good ideas though.

Excellent!
This was a well written, well researched book on the aftermath of a disaster, one that could occur in our lifetime.
