About this ebook

Book 2 of The Survivalist Series

No electricity. No running water. No food. No end in sight. If life as you knew it changed in an instant, would you be prepared?

In A. American’s first novel, Going Home, readers were introduced to Morgan Carter, the resourceful, tough-as-nails survivalist who embarks on a treacherous 250-mile journey across Florida following the collapse of the nation’s power grid. Now reunited with his loving wife and daughters in this follow-up to Going Home, Morgan knows that their happiness is fleeting, as the worst is yet to come. Though for years Morgan has been diligently preparing for emergency situations, many of his neighbors are completely unready for life in this strange new world—and they’re starting to get restless.

With the help of his closest companions, Morgan fights to keeps his home secure—only to discover shocking information about the state of the nation in the process.

Fans of James Wesley Rawles, William R. Forstchen's One Second After, and The End by G. Michael Hopf will revel in A. American's apocalyptic tale.

Ratings and reviews

Overall, a good read. About the only problem I have, is the author cannot keep secondary/tertiary characters names straight. In parts of the book, the character changes names 2-3 times in the same paragraph.

A very interesting concept and an exciting plot. Really enjoyed Morgan and his plot the government idea felt real and was easy to relate. Wasn't a fan of Sarge plot line found it hard to pat attention to

The second in the series, this book was just as good as the first. There were a couple of times when it felt like the story was dragging but then the author made up for it with great action and an ease of connecting with the characters. You will run across some ideas and products that should be implemented, at least strongly considered, if you are a prepper.
