As the ruthless close in and society continues to collapse, Colby enters a post-apocalyptic battleground where he vows to keep the boy safe as they seek to unravel the mystery of those who want to keep him silent.
Meanwhile, in Humboldt, the newfound peace the Riker family gained through the battle of Eureka is once again disrupted. Now a fight between the Stricklands and the Rikers is inevitable, and not everyone will survive.

Is this the final book ?
A surprise book. I thought #4 was the last. Another surprise ending. These books are not your typical post-apocalyptic reads, but they are great reads. But, now I wonder, does Alecia return? Does Colby go back into law enforcement? Does Jessie find true love? Great character & story development. Thanks, Jack Hunt for another fine read

upscaled Hatfield and McCoy simply brilliant
A series I couldn’t put down start to finish. Filled with twists and turns just as I thought I figured out the story line it changed. Another book or two about C. and A. would be a great addition. The ending was something I never imagined and I want more PLEASE.

September 9, 2021Not quite the ending I was expecting.
Though he does leave it open for more books, so that is good.
He kept Kane out of a lot of the action. Kane loves action and should have been part of the chase.

A series of more twist and turns than the down hill side of wolf creek pass. It grabs from the start, and never let's you breathe. Once you start you can't put it down

Twists and turns in every book!
Great series of books. Really good writing and its not all about prepping. It is more about the people trying to survive the aftermath. I enjoyed all of them.

Engaging
Characters and plot well developed. Characters were easy to engage with, even Martha. Twists and turns were surprising. Only concern would be that some situations remained unresolved.

So so
Well I guess the author felt his readers required an ending to what started out as a pretty good read in the beginning. It was just so so

Book 5
Great reading, most would think this was about greed but it was just a Mom wanting her family to be looked after. Thanks Jack

Very confusing and difficult to read.The tales were confused to the point that you got lost in the subplots and the interplay between families.

Captivating
I could not put this one down. Kept reading into the night, and picked it up again the next morning to learn the fate of these realistic characters.

Interesting
Keep family close but your eyes open. Never believe what you hear. Never give up never back down. This is a lesson for everyone.

I hope at some point we see a book 6. Somehow I would like to see a reunion between Alicia and Colby, especially after all they have been through together.

This book (final in the series?), wraps up a lot of the storyline from the prior volumes. I enjoyed the plot involving Colby and Alicia, which had a satisfying confrontation and a hint of the cause of the EMP. Still, more Kane please! I find the family feud of Humboldt County a bit tiresome but it was handled fairly well in this book. The ending seemed equally overdramatic, not unexpected and somehow not as satisfying as I would have thought. Still this was a good series.

A surprise book. I thought #4 was the last.
Colby & Alecia head to his grandfather’s cabin on Upper Klamath Lakes to escape the family drama, but stumble into a more dangerous situation.
Meanwhile, in Humboldt, a fight between the Stricklands and the Rikers is heating up with Jessie caught in the middle. Who will survive this battle.
