America faces a full-scale socioeconomic collapse—the stock market plummets, hyperinflation cripples commerce and the mounting crisis passes the tipping point. Practically overnight, the fragile chains of supply and high-technology infrastructure fall, and wholesale rioting and looting grip every major city.

As hordes of refugees and looters pour out of the cities, a small group of friends living in the Midwest desperately tries to make their way to a safe-haven ranch in northern Idaho. The journey requires all their skill and training since communication, commerce, transportation and law enforcement have all disappeared. Once at the ranch, the group fends off vicious attacks from outsiders and then looks to join other groups that are trying to restore true Constitutional law to the country.

Patriots is a thrilling narrative depicting fictional characters using authentic survivalist techniques to endure the collapse of the American civilization. Reading this compelling, fast-paced novel could one day mean the difference between life and death.

I have a headache

February 5, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Where do I start with this? I managed to finish the book but only barely.
First, the story flow: There was way too much detailed information. I lost track of the acronyms and terms that I did not know and I read a lot of post-apocalyptic fiction. Any time a person had to recount his or her story, it took many, many pages and was in excruciating detail. Frequently, the story launched into a detailed inventory of absolutely everything they had and how to use it. There was no way that the story could possibly have any coherence or flow with that.
Second: Way, way too much religion for me and all of it required to be Christian.
Third, the characters: There was a tendency to alternate between first name, last name and sometimes nickname which made it very confusing. For a while I thought Tom, T.K. and Kennedy were three different people. The characters were extremely one dimensional. The men oozed testosterone and the women were pretty much just there so it wasn't an odd bunch of just guys hunkering down. This line from the book pretty much sums up the women,"I'll be looking for a God-fearing Christian woman that can cook and sew and shoot straight." Yup.
Fourth: You can't get any more right wing than this. Can't someone just once tell a story where the conservatives and the liberals are just complete jerks but just people with different points of view?
Fifth: I recognize that the author knows a ton about survival gear etc so I bumped up a star for that. I just wish the story had been worthy of his considerable knowledge.

Fascinating depiction of TEOTWAWKI and picking up the pieces afterwards

November 23, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The book is full of technical information as part of the plot, so you500彩票幸运快三怎么看走势 will learn advanced techniques and get direction on what is useful and not.
The plot refers to a complete breakdown in society due to economic collapse and resulting social unrest, A large portion of the population is wiped out. If you500彩票幸运快三怎么看走势 have desk job, live a cosmopolitan life, and/or don't have a gun cache, you500彩票幸运快三怎么看走势're dead. Without being too specific and spoiling anything, the novel focuses on preparedness, bugging out, survival, defense, and eventually rebellion against tyranny. It is hard to put this book down.
The characters are not complex, but this is is a plot driven story, not a character driven story.
Some things to note about the novel:
It is heavy on Christian faith as binding the characters together and differentiating them from the unholy bad guys. The religious element in the story is of the "give us strength" variety, not "smite the infidels." I personally don't believe faith is a necessary precondition to survival, but I did not find the author to be too heavy handed in this regard.

Regretted the purchase

May 26, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I purchased a book that purported to be a survival thriller. It turned out instead to be a terribly-written manifesto about guns, more guns, the author's political and religious beliefs... oh, did I mention guns? There is almost zero plot. The characters are like cardboard cutouts - everyone is almost exactly the same, the protagonist is "perfect", there is never any conflict between the main characters, and frankly I couldn't distinguish between any of them except for their genders (and the author made that difference VERY pronounced, with the genders being extremely pigeonholed).

Couldn't even get past chapter 2, it was genuinely more banal and uninteresting than an accounting textbook.

pretty good - overly detailed

June 28, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I found the story to be pretty good and a plausible story of what could happen down the line. My one criticism is that for a novel it is a little overly detailed, like a manual on survival, that I thought interfered with the story.

For example instead of writing. "T.K. heard a rustling noise outside the door. He grabbed his AR15 and creeped towards the door to see if it was an intruder..." he would write something like "T.K. heard a rustling noise outside the door which was now reinforced with double steel beams and 1/4 inch thick sheet metal around the frame as well as a double deadlock system and a one-way peep hole. He grabbed his AR which he recently painted in a green beret 1968 camouflage pattern. The gun had a collapsible stock and retrofitted with a 45 round magazine, and lazer viewfinder. The magazine was fully loaded and he set the safety to semi-automatic and started creeping towards the door in classic marine recon style...

Overall a pretty good book, but I would have saved the detailed technical stuff for his website that he mentions after the end of the story.

Not real impressed

May 31, 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is kinda okay but not really for me. Its kinda like a survival manual mixed in with a fictional story...and not that well. They book spends too much space how the characters built a reinforced front door. There's lot of instances where they spend way too much time how to do some prepping task. There's one new character half way through the book who takes 4 pages to tell his boring life story...attempt to give the reader a list of prep'ing ideas. The when asked what he wished he had in his survival bag and he said he wished he had a Bible! What?! I absolutely have no issue with the Bible but this book has HUGE Biblical theme to go so far as stating two unmarried couples cannot jave sex until they are married! So its a fictional book, a sort of survival book, and sort of a religious guide. After the second couple werent allowed to have sex until they were married, I put the book down and didnt finish it. I wanted a good fictional bok. If I had wanted a survival guide, I would have bought that. There's another thats a fictional prepper book thats was awesome! One Second After. I couldn't put it down. Way better book.

Too much info

January 5, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I gave this book a three because I chose a novel to read what I got was at least half detailed info and facts and specs of all kinds. The storyline was great and the characters interesting but characters needed more development. I know a lot of the books in the genre usually have a lot of tips and information but this is crazy. I had to skip 10 or 12 pages at a time to find the story. Maybe you500彩票幸运快三怎么看走势 should write two books. One fiction and one with all that great information that you500彩票幸运快三怎么看走势 have. Then you500彩票幸运快三怎么看走势 could reference the book of facts in any novels you500彩票幸运快三怎么看走势 write and everyone would be happy.
