Rate this book
If everything is on the line, would you have what it takes to survive?

Emma survived a shootout, an ambush, and the end of the modern world all thanks to a hitman sent to kill her. Now that he’s gravely injured, she struggles to imagine life without him. If he doesn’t recover soon, she might not have a choice.

Can you ever atone for the past?

Beaten, shot, and stabbed, John’s hanging onto consciousness by a thread. But his injuries are the least of his problems. His old boss is out for blood and won’t stop until John and Emma are dead.

The apocalypse makes strange bedfellows.

With chaos unfolding all around them, Emma, John, and their friends are up against an enemy they might be too weak to defeat. If they don’t find a way to prevail, it’ll be the end of their friendship, and their lives.

The EMP is only the beginning.

No Ordinary Mission is book three in the No Ordinary Day series, a post-apocalyptic thriller series following ordinary people struggling to survive when an EMP plunges the United States into chaos.

I have developed a taste for EMP survival and Post Apoçalyptic story books, but I found Ribeye Steak when I read Bk #3, NO ORDINARY DAY. But thank goodness, Mr Tate , has written two more 2" Ribeyes,, Books, I mean.. you can get your Ribeye'.s too

I chose 5 stars because the storyline, the characters, the suspense, mystery and a surprising story ending, all ÷ 5 gold stars. And I didn't even mention the laughable animals, the laughter, nor the romance , and the author, Mr. Tate, really writes an engaging story. I recommend this writer and his book to all ages. You will too.

An excellent read.

Another brilliant book bringing the series No Ordinary Day to a close and it was a joy to read. It had a bit of romance, plenty of action and it all came together very well. The main characters, John and Emma were brilliant and played their part great as did the others, very believable and realistic. I totally recommend the series and the author you won't be disappointed.

Great story!

This story had it all, a fast pace action filled storyline and great characters! I love this authors books and highly recommend them to anyone wanting to read a great story. I really like that this author does not fill the need to just kill off main characters. Get her books and leave your reviews.

Fantastic Finish

There is so much tension, travel and worry for a group that has only the most basic unity. The fight to stay ahead of Dane, the bad guy, is unending and there are innocent victims among the not so innocent. I really liked John. The ties are all tied in this book. And there’s an awesome ending!

not all good advice

Not a bad read but don’t use it as a guide to survive the apocalypse.
The characters left way too many opportunities behind, left weapons and ammo on dead attackers behind, found a farm with the owner dead and just left it. But they took chickens to protect them?
And Raymond was useless. I might have shot just to stop the whining.

Always a great read!

Harley Tate never disappoints! Delivers the unexpected with a very human touch. Loved how animals are always a part of the story and how beautiful they can be. Looking forward to the next adventure!

Thumbs up for the three book series.

A quick, action packed read. Protagonists believable and likeable. The 3 books held together and conclusion of the story was hopeful. We should be so lucky in the same circumstances.
Harley Tate is an ace writer!!!

Kept me wanting more

I have enjoyed reading the series. Just enough romance and enough suspense. The characters weren't defined so my mind was able to imagine what I thought everyone looked like.

Good series,not so long and drawn out

Intriguing serial mystery. It kept my attention through all the books & everyone adopted a dog. They also adopted other animals although it was the end of the world.

I finished the last book of three. It was a great series. The ending was much different than I thought it would be. Very interesting and easy to read. I will continue to look for books by this author.

Problem solved

The author did a great job with the characters and the happenings with a hit man as a friend. Dane was out for revenge.

Not good. Rehash of book 1, 2..... After reading 2/3 of the book, I jumped to last chapter. Choose a plot. Come on, hunted by killers in the middle of the apolcolipus.
