End Game is the fourth and final book in the America Offline Series!
Still reeling from Nate's imprisonment and betrayal at the hands of a trusted member of the community, the residents of the Citadel face a dire situation.
Earl and his depraved followers are on a mission to revive the old world as it used to be. A world of corruption, excess, and tyranny.
The stakes couldn't be higher, not only for the Citadel, but for the entire country. Will the tenuous American experiment continue, or will it be ground under the sole of Earl's boot once and for all?
I’ve figured it out, why I hate this series so much. Despite having numerous characters, it’s truly just one self-inflated, self-absorbed man talking to himself. The 16 year old girl speaks the exact sand way as the 33 year old main character, who talks the same as the 50 year old side character. And all the characters are there to boost the guys ego, even though he is oh so too educated and matured and heightened to have one.
Putting all the terrible entitled, egotistical writing to the side, the storyline is horrid. It overuses so many tropes, including the damaging and disrespectful use of an autistic child they use to be a super genius when it helps the plot, but it focuses on surface level problems that are easy to write about -hunger, SA, crime- and barely touches on the nitty gritty of a system failure. The medicine they need is magically available to them, months after going dark? Yea, right. Nuclear power plants are failing but there’s no repercussions aside from a few minor characters coughing? No one is sick or dying from poor health and hygiene? There’s less than a handful of doctors, and they can keep everyone alive even after bullet wounds?
I liked the first three books all the way through…but the ending of this one falls flat. It lacks any intricacy with a very all the bad guys die and almost all of the good guys live. Very trite, even if some of the more important characters died. None of the subplots that I thought would play out did. Of course I can’t say if they would have been any better. Everyone is just a little too happy and the rest a little too easy, and all of it a little too quickly.
William H. Weber's America Offline series wraps up with a bang and, basically, all out war between Nate's Citadel community and Earl's drug-fueled camp of crazed people. We all knew this war was coming and it explodes in a wild battle. I enjoy Weber's books and I'm looking forward to the next one. I keep requesting a nice long epic story of survival from Weber!
yeah nate is so humble and such a good guy, better than every other guy, can do everything even tho he never did it before but hes so chill about it, not pretentious at all! ((sarcasm))
overall underwhelming and once again, so very predictable
many of the main characters are just so stupid and annoying. yes im looking at you holly

Real good storyline to finish these books up.q,Mr. Weber knows how to engage the reader into his books. Its always nice to have one main villain and in this case Earl fit the bill. Anyone who likes these type books will enjoy reading Mr. Weber.
Final installment and as the weather improves, it brings different challenges and threats for the Citadel. Perhaps wrapped up a little to nicely, but it did answer a lot of the questions built during the series.
Took a while to get things wrapped up in the story. At one point I checked to make sure there wasn't a book five, since events in the story were progressing slowly and the book was running out of pages!
