The Path Forward
It Falls Apart Series Book 5. Another great book in this series. Lots going on. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. The ending of the book, though.

I really enjoyed this book. There was a lot of action and plot advancement and some resolution, especially to the journey of Paul, Olivia and Joyce. Honestly, the writing is really only a 4-4.5. There were editing issues with some awkward sentences and punctuation and the less forgivable error of a character name mix-up. Katherine becomes Rachel and then Katherine twice and there is no other mention of a Rachel. My enjoyment of the story and my affinity for a lot of the characters caused me to bump it up. I like that the US government is working hard and not evil and not incompetent. I also like that the soldiers, especially in Minneapolis, are good guys, trying to do their best; they are often portrayed badly in books of the genre. This ends on a huge cliffhanger and now I have to worry about Paul, Commander Watts and Claire, in particular. I really want to see what George obtained in Wakefield and to see every person that was part of Chaos Dawn get what they deserve.

Riveting series
The character we're enjoyable and following each of them with their challenges to survive. I think when everything is falling apart one would be fortunate to find others like these in this novel who are so honest, helpful, having integrity and determination to fulfill their quest to the end to protect those who they meet along the way on this dangerous path, even at the cost of their own lives. I did not care for the ending of book #5. My eyes were full of tears rooting for these brave souls and then a dam burst within in the last couple of paragraphs when it said, the end. But I guess that's the proof of great authors when you touch readers heart stings. I recommend the series as it doesn't disappoint.

Intense determination
As they are on y their quest to get Joyce to her father all the turmoil they go through. A also not knowing what our country is doing to combat it. We are a resilient country. We will not lie down and give up. We will trudge on with determination to not let evil win. Its in our American blood. That to me is what this author is telling us. Each and everyone of will fight for survival.

Interesting series, but unsettling in the reality of its premise.
It's hard to see characters that have been mainstays since the beginning fade away, but given these peoples ability to survive, what's "A little nuke 6 miles away"? Do they really die, or miraculously survive once more? Well, that's why we read the next book the series!

Awesome Books
I would recommend these books to everyone; they show bravery and dedication. It is a shame but if anything like this ever happened it would probably be people inside the country, which is just such a shame!
People would need to be brave and do the best they can. Help each other, and be the best they can be in horrid circumstances.

It falls apart book5
Great read! I hope the rest of the series is as good as this one. The characters are truly believable in their fight for survival. So many have sacrificed their lives for the greater good and some are greedy and think only of themselves. Hopefully there is a book 6

Great continuing series.
Bringing 4 yr old Joyce to her father is amazing especially through everything that happened along the way. Then by chance a young teen named Marco and a older lady who he helped stumble on George who the government has been searching for. From then on the ones including George who started this destruction will find their diabolical plans are unraveling.

Frightening
I think it is more frightening than most of the books I tend to read because I can see it happening. With the decision in our country and the hate, yes, it is feasible for it to happen here..

Excellent
Storyline is looking up. Better character development. The suspense of waiting for them to reach out and touch the bad guys. If I new where they were within a few mile I nukem.
