Ratings and reviews

King Pin Thriller Writer Kyle Pratt's new series, Strengthen What Remains, begins with Through Many Fires - the title referring to the book's block-buster start, when a Chinese/North Korean nuclear bomb campaign against several major North American cities is followed by anarchy and chaos, intended to lay the foundations for a hostile Asian takeover of the US Government.. Main protagonist Caden Westmore, an Army Veteran, works as chief of staff for Senator Stevens, though neither is present in Congress when the first bomb is detonated there. He's a heroic character, as one would expect in this genre. Emotionally he seems rather shallow; for example, his fiancee Becky who works for the FBI is tragically killed by another bomb blast in Atlanta, yet Caden seemingly only grieves for her for two days (despite her supposedly having been his 'soulmate'), before making a move on the mysterious refugee Maria, who saves Caden (in a nice reversal of heroic roles), when he's attacked by survivalist

I think it was a Great insight into what it would be like if this story plot did, And COULD Happen in this current day and age. Very Good Book in my Opinion on this subject. Btw, I just Purchased the other 4 books in the series by Kyle Pratt from Google Play Store, Very reasonable price based on reading Book #1 in the 5 Book Series.

Very well written. Moves to the point I didn't want to put it down and when I did I couldn't wait to get back to it. Good, detailed descriptions. Looking for the next book as soon as I finish this review. Keep them coming.
