whoever it was,..thanks. I finished it last night (2AM actually[:0]). The realities of what a succeful EMP attack on the US would do were quite overwhelming, and frankly, scary. I have a whole new understanding of what we take for granted, among other things.

Now she's all up about getting a sniper rifle, AR, food, fuel, extra ammo, etc. She wants to be the sniper!
I love that woman! [:D]
I really enjoyed the book, too. Not the best written but a new, original story and very thought provoking. My wife is even more of an EMP expert/SHTF scenario devotee than I am now. We read it on her Kindle.

It was a sobering read. A little look at what a real SHTF scenario may look like.
sobering to say the least

I think I posted about EMP two months ago and most laughed at me. [:D]

Its much easier to laugh off as ludicrous the frightful thoughts of life than it is to try to figure out a way to prepare for them.
Without spoiling for those that haven't read it: The Colonels diabetic daughter. Holy Crap! With daughters of my own that was the worst. I don't know what I would have done. [V]
yep, made it through that part last night. I had only 50 pages left at 1AM, and KNEW I had to finish the book.
Ole Jen was one tough woman,..what with Tyler and the dogs and all.
You guys should check out The Hunger Games books. It is about post apocaliptic north america.
I'm looking forward to the movie
One of the few cars that will run following a EMP.

Thanks for the suggestion as well. I really enjoyed the book.

I just ordered a copy.
I heard a lengthy interview on Coast to Coast a few months ago with an EMP expert, might have been this same guy.
It is a scary subject.
That book is set in the North Carolina mountains about 40 miles from where I live.
