The Farm #1
The Farm Book 1: Behind The Curve
People Started Getting Sick
When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was; if they did not get sick, run out of money, or they could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine. The collapse happened so gradually; nobody saw it coming but the very few.
Life-long friends
Three doctors, a realtor, a contractor, and a pro shooter/model, make up the couples who had been lifelong friends and pooled their money to prepare for hard times. They soon find out money cannot buy you everything, even safety and security.
A jealous rancher wants to buy their land and does not want to take “no” for an answer. More than once, Lyle and his family are found on the wrong side of the fence. With human remains found on the new property, the mystery deepens, as the world around them slowly descends into chaos.

Not particularly good.
I've read the two books available in this series, and I won't be reading any more.
This book does some things really right, and some things really wrong.
First, I think it describes a slow burn economic collapse pretty well. A lot of disaster fiction is basically like, "...and three weeks later, we had cannibals." I'm my opinion, it wouldn't happen like that, it would happen more in the vein of what we see here.
However, the author is clearly in love with conspiracy theories, and a lot of what's here devolves into a right wing love story against the government. The federal government are the bad guys, the election is going to be stolen from the rightful president of the US (a thinly disguised President Trump), FEMA districts, the armed troops of the USDA freaking out over raw milk, there's a lot to unpack here.
There's also an unresolved and vestigial plotline about maybe a serial killer that haunts the area, and some caves that are apparently really important to the story, but after two books, it's never made clear what that importance is.
They're not necessarily poorly written, though they are in some areas, but they're not well written either. If you're looking for right wing masturbatory fantasy, you've found your series. If you're looking for something more interesting, look elsewhere.

Farm or not to farm
Well...not your usual EMP end of the world story. Got some Wuhan going on, some Antifa / BLM protesting and some crooked cops thrown in the mix. Got some peppers, the usual mix - doctors, real estate tycoons and a model/competitive shooter all with loads of ca$h. Throw in some suspicious bones and maybe a suspicious neighbor and blah blah blah. Sorry but it just seemed all a little too much. Seems I've read it all before. Not the worst prepper story but not enough to try book 2. How some of these novels get so many 5 star reviews is a mystery.

Excellent story
Wrapped right from the 2020 headlines, this book tackles some hot issues while weaving the thread of a wonderful story. Three couples prepping for their future, quickly learn the future is now and they protect themselves at any cost. With a little mystery thrown in, I can’t wait for the next book.

holy H3ll!!!
I am so many things right now, scared, thrilled, dumbfounded. This is one of those rripped from the headlines real life fiction novels. I read this all in one sitting, brreathlessly entertained, simultaneously horrified at how close to real this story felt... I found myself asking Alexa if Texas stilll had the castle doctrine in effect (yes), I thought of ways to add to security, patted my part Mastiff dog on the head when he came to cuddle, and realized that my little dog thinks he owns me instead of the other way around. I laughed out loud, you will too: "The vet says he's half Great Dane, half Mastiff. I think he looks like a mutated hound dog. What he is though, is a couple hundred pounds of 'why the *bleep* are you on our property?'" I laoughed out loud so hard, I scared the little dog that owns me and had the part Mastiff up looking for intruders! Yep these are people I want to be friends with. Thank you Boyd, keep writing the good stuff.

The Farm Book 1 Boyd Craven III
The pandemic has hit hard having a tremendous effect on the economy. Many companies large and small have suffered or closed. The result? Chaos. The primary characters in this book have purchased a large farm. Complete with farming equipment and livestock. They have a foreman to help run the farm, but they are slowly learning how. There preppers. A fast paced read and a believable scenario. An excellent read!!

What is with today's authors? A story should have a beginning, middle & end. Just because the book says "The End" doesn't make it so. Thanks for just stopping the book in the middle of the story. 1 star for that sh*t.

I have enjoyed some of this author's other series, even some with a slight right-wing spin. The spin on this book was so pronounced, I feared the planet might tip on its side. The story starts out OK with a group of decent people who want a secure place for relaxation, future retirement and to bug-out if needed. Lots of gun love from everyone, but OK. Then the infusion of current events into the plot so the author can tell us what really happened. Another virus from China, and let's call it ... "Wuhan flu"; yah that will be a good name. Massive over-reaction from some states like Michigan whose bad governor is ... let's call her Gretchen. The virus doesn't end up being that big of a nuisance, so now we need something else. Unrest because a black man dies in police custody (starting to sound familiar) and the bad protestors, ANTIFA baddies, attack one of our main characters who has to shoot before they kill her. This causes hysterical anti-gun rhetoric from MSNBC (of course) and there are more riots by left-wing and ANTIFA "scumbags." A crooked DA and crooked police contrive to have these left-wing people (not deplorables because the main characters feel that is their badge of honor), converged at the farm and attack the families. The characters end up being one dimensional and there is a six-year old boy that talks and acts like a teen. After the comment about "our Cheeto Messiah", I nearly stopped reading but was close enough to finish this right-wing scream-fest. The pronounced political agenda really ruined this book and the series.

Liberal bashing with a large dose of paranoia
It’s a shame the author spoiled a fairly interesting story with his right wing bias and total paranoid bullshit. I tried to get through it, like I said, it was an interesting story. Got through a little more than half and couldn’t stomach his nonsense. Obviously will never read any more of his works, and certainly wouldn’t recommend anyone one else waste their time on him.

Dang it Boyd! Another cliff hanger!
If you haven’t read a book or a series by Boyd Craven III, then you are missing out! Always full of suspense, full of character development, full of enjoyment! Looking forward to number 2 in the series! Soon Boyd, we want it soon!

Language got so bad in the book that it just wasn't worth continuing. There are so many words in the English language that you just don't need to constantly use trash words to make a point (whatever that may be).

Interesting take on what 2020 was like and how it could have been worse. I find it strange that among four couples married for quite a while there is only one child. If you’re a snowflake you won’t like the politics but I loved that part. MAGA

Self-defense
The book is awesome how each event and conflict was a self defense situation. Those in the wrong didn't see it that way. This book definitely hits some issues the have happened in the last year or two. Page turner. Must read.

This is my first book by this author and I was disappointed because this was a tame, Pollyanna post apocalyptic book. There was no real struggle or villains. There were “mini” villains, several different people who the author very much glossed over. What post apocalyptic book has everything go the main good characters way? It just does not work like that. Everything that happened to them went well : They always made it in time. No one died. They had all this time to prepare. Eve hey kept finding deal after deal. Even the people they beat up became friendly. I feel like the virus just disappeared. After a bit there was no mention of the virus. That’s just not feasible I was turned off quite a bit about the whole Black Lives Matter and all lives matter spiel. Sounds like the author (who is white shocker) has a problem with the black lives matters movement and I hate when things happening now gets put in a book. It’s fictional! Your supposed to use your imagination. We hear about this stuff everyday. I read to get away from that stuff. It seems like the virus took a backseat to the political things. It’s almost like the people stop coughing I didn’t read too much more about the people getting sick after a while what happened did they have a cure or something, and he forgot to put it in the story. Just for your education black lives matters movement was formed because everybody else lives did matter. Blacks were NOT! So basically I’m saying before you add something to your story do your research. You might not sound so darn ignorant.

Boyd Craven’s Political Manifesto
Masquerading (poorly) as a book. Mr. Craven has taken the Coronavirus pandemic and reframed it to fit his simple, narrow world view. Thus, according to the book, the virus (which he ignorantly and offensively names the “Wuhan Flu”) is merely a mild flu that the bad BLM protesters spread by their protests.
His neat and tidy black-and-white view infects and further diminishes his story. An example: The good guys were able to embarrass a corporate hospital and local government and they then blackmailed them for unending riches. (I guess it’s OK for good guys to blackmail if they’re pure of heart.
There is also no character development because we do not need to know anything about the flat one-dimensional heroes because we know how they vote. If they are in our tribe, we. Can assume they are perfect, stable geniuses like all the members of the. Tribe. And they have beautiful phone calls, too.
The characters also pull out the “some of my best friends are black” trope to defend themselves against racism, pointing to a Hal-black hero and one of the heroes’ trustworthy foreman is Latino.
Even if you set all that aside —- or love it all —- the story itself is formulaic and inane. Their shooting sprees, for example, are laughable at least in part due to how hard the untrained warriors are able to cut through the fog of war and shoot only people who truly deserve it. To the extent I was surprised by the ending, it was solely because I could not believe the author would stoop that low. But he did.
I also think that BLM may have a basis for libel here. Skip this book.

Pretty good modern take on what could happen in the age of big government. Not quite the apocalypse, but the setting is based on modern times - Wuhan flu, conservative POTUS, BLM/ANTIFA riots, etc. A group of friends buy an active farm from which they will set themselves up as preppers/homesteaders. Trouble follows them as one of the future farmers is caught in a riot and defends herself against an angry mob. Naturally, the "system" of politicians and media immediately create a villain of the victim. As the flu and riots continue, big government moves further into corruption and totalitarianism in a move to seize private property to redistribute. That doesn't go so well. This was a good lead in to what is sure to be a thought provoking and rather scary look at what an oppressive government is willing to do for total control.

Quite Good....
As with many post-apocalyptic novels, the author spends more time describing guns and ammo than characters -- which is a subtle art. With 8 "main characters" (4 married couples plus), this means that it can be difficult remembering whom is married to who, which one ISN'T a doctor, and so on. Nevertheless, it is well-written and typos are nearly non-existent, which is HUGE these days. That is, except for the often repeated endearment "Hun" which, imo, should at least be "hon" short for honey.
As a left-leaning person, I can honestly say that politics are minimal (but not avoided) and are tolerable. Not judging on either side; just saying the family/friends group story is solid and interesting and isn't bogged down with excessive rhetoric.
Definitely worth a read.

Not your average doomsday book.
This book was excellent. It's about 3 families who are very close but have been preparing for the world to collapse. They find a farm in a remote place and buy it for when such a day comes. After hiring someone to work the farm and to teach them they open their arms to them and consider them family. One doctor is severely hurt and defends herself killing 4 people. Then you see the bad people that are to serve and protect and makes the rioters look innocent. It fails because they have outfitted their vehicles with cameras that record. With the virus sweeping the nation people are on lockdown and the economy is taking a nosedive. Life must go on though and they continue to live on the farm and making it secure.

Enjoyable, some cringe dialogue with husband/wife, simple, fast but predictable.
This is not an end of the world book which I thought the first book in the series would be. However the main characters in the book are likable enough, although unlikely top 1 percenters to have a group like that, and all come together. It was a simple fast read without any real major surprises to the story arcs. Some of the writing was really cringe when it came to the dialogue between the couples, to where it distracted from the story as a whole (she-boss pandering over done). Still, if you want a simple easy airport read to kill an afternoon... it's a good story pick.

All sides
I'm a Black and Hispanic woman who believes in the 2nd Ammendment and Black Lives Matter. I also support the defund the police movement and capital punishment. My point to all of that is people are complex and no side (political, professional, or public) are exempt from bad people within. I like that this book showed the ass-hattery from all sides.
This is an interesting group of friends, old and new, and the mystery surrounding the farm is an unexpected side story.

Warning: right wing nuttiness
I read thru the book because it was pretty well plotted, but I'm stopping with this one. Unfortunately this author is another victim of Fox news/Rupert Murdoch propaganda. The result is a fairly unbelievable "breakdown of America" due to LIBERAL violence - as if it was Democrats who tried to overthrow congress on Jan 6!
I like prepper/pa fiction, but so many are filled with hate-your-fellow-citizen themes. Boyd is another writer I need to put on my don't read list, along with Akert and others.

June 30, 2023Great Book
This is a really interesting story. Not the typical apocalypse story, but very good plot. Well written, interesting characters. There is a lot of action but times when you actually laugh out loud.
A mystery pops up, toward the end. The storyline includes a lot of twists and turns while including elements of unrest experienced in countries today.
The group of friends are very diverse but totally committed to doing the right thing, while protecting their own.
This story is different but very hard to put down!

Page turner a definite need to read
The Farm gets right off to a roaring start, ripping info straight from the headlines of the pandemic and public unrest. It keeps rolling along until the last page and leaves you looking for the next book.
The characters are relatable and likable. There are sub plots going on that keep you even more hooked.
All in all and excellent read. On to book 2!

Right out of the headlines
Just completed this book. Character development is outstanding. We have book 2 and hopefully the author stays glued to his lazy boy and gets book 3 out soon. If you have not tried Boyd’s work this book is a great place to start. Another great choice would be Deadman’s Cay. He really makes you feel like you are a part of the story. Wife and I both read his books! Take a chance of you have not done so already!

Very technical without much emotion
Not much meat to this book. A lot of rich people preparing for some thing, a lot of things happening but nothing really to grab you and hold your attention. Cold hard facts and too much distance between the characters and the reader. Maybe this is what many critics call one dimensional characters. So even despite the cliffhanger ending, I have no desire to follow any of the characters to see what’s going to happen.

Great Story Doesn't Need. Vulgarity
I have read most of your books and enjoyed them . I was always impressed you could write a great story without a lot of vulgarity; what happened? Why not continue with good stories that don't need a bunch of added foul language to entertain your readers?
Not sure I will be able to finish the series, but did want you to know the added vulgarity was disappointing for me.

Interesting, timely and full of surprises
I thought this would the typical EMP APOCCALYPSE novel and I was so delighted with HOW GOOD IT WAS. I've read a hundred books on trying to cope with adversity AFTER it happens. So it was a genuine pleasure to meet THE SIX....interesting adults who already had a plan BEFORE life as we know it ends. I'm on book two and eagerly looking forward to the rest! Thanks Boyd!!! I'm definitely a fan!

Writing reads like an elementary level book.
Too many curse words and too much vulgarity. The premise is interesting, and the book had potential to be good, but the writing level seems elementary to me. I can’t bring myself to continue in the series due to the writing style. Sometimes it’s difficult to even know who is talking. And some things said are just plain corny. I can’t see real adults talking like that.
