Appalachian Apocalypse

by L. Woodrow Ross

Appalachian Apocalypse is a story of preparedness. It tells of one man's seclusion that is a result of the loss of his wife. He is alone, in the solitude of the mountains of northwestern North Carolina. When an EMP strikes, his world in forever changed. Circumstances result in new friends, an adopted family and danger in the form of those seeking to take advantage of the dire circumstances to improve their own life, at the expense of others. Wade Hampton Carter (Hamp to his friends) is challenged to survive and protect those that he loves. His abilities as a prepper has prepared him for dangers and his ability to provide the basic needs to friends and his new family are stretched to the limits. This is a story that could well become a reality for us as we live in a culture that is only one step from disaster. It will help us to see what is possible when we learn to cope with danger, hunger and need for shelter as Hamp did. It is the author's hope that this tale will help each reader to face the reality of our vulnerability and begin to prepare for the future. We can already see the damage wreaked by Covid-19 that we are leaving in perilous times.

I think it needs some more work

The plot is OK but conversations were very stilted and repetitive. Characters are naive and too trusting. Example: the world has gone to hell and everything is looted but yet Hamp and John keep driving to town? Many details and opportunities for character development are overlooked.
