This book has the most action of the trilogy, as well as plenty of heartache, guilt, betrayal and hope. The NWO has not managed to turn everyone against each other and there are still pockets of people that are selfless and willing to help their fellow man. Austin and Amanda both received help from unexpected quarters when they need it the most.
Great characters, great story line and lots of twists in the plot. A good book, I enjoyed it, and as the finale of a trilogy, it was a great read.

Having read Survive The Chaos and Survive The Aftermath, I had to read this one. In fact, had they all been available together I think I would have read them back to back! The cover fits really well with the rest of the series. The people on the cover could represent either Austin and Amanda or maybe Savannah and Malachi.
The book picks up where the other left off. The group have lost the majority of their prepping possessions along with Ennis’ prepper house.
They are also still mourning the tragic loss of one much loved character (no spoilers here!) especially Savannah who feels more than a little responsible for what happened.
There’s some unsettlement within the group when it is suggested they forget about the overwhelming task of defeating the New World Order and just find themselves a little hideaway and live off the land.
Sarah is still searching the usb stick that Callum gave to Austin and soon discovers a devastating plan that the New Order have. Luckily, she also reveals a way of thwarting that plan. However, it involves the group splitting up into two groups. The difficult decision is made, Austin will lead one team and Amanda will lead the other one. Everything seems settled and though a daunting task, though everyone has their mind set on the end goal of saving the world except one person who turns out to be out just for themselves. A traitor in their midst, the two teams blindly follow their respective plans. Also, to add to this mix of troubles, a guilt- ridden Savannah decides to go it alone. Austin’s first instinct is to head off after his daughter, but it is Malachi that steps up to the plate and reasons with Austin saying Savannah will be more likely to talk to Malachi and he can then persuade her to return to the group.
Favourite characters in this book are again Austin and Amanda, always looking after other people, either in their group or anyone they meet along their arduous journey. I became fond of Malachi again in this book, he shows much more of his caring side. He takes on an adult male’s responsibilities when he goes in search of Savannah and then they both have to grow up rather quickly when they end up caring for a younger child. They both realise all the support and love they have had from their group and how they have been somewhat sheltered from some of the harsher atrocities that are out in the wider now uncivilised world.
I still enjoyed “hating” Zander and the New Order that is still pitting neighbour against neighbour in their fight to take over and remain in charge of the world that is now emerging from the aftermath of the EMP.
I also still disliked Wendell! I was sad at the loss of another character at the ending of the book but it would have been totally unrealistic for these two groups not to have taken any casualties at all in such a dangerous world coupled with their near impossible mission too. In this book we also get to know some of the lesser characters better such as Harlen, Ennis, and Ezra. Gretchen remains a powerful character and by the end of the book I think Tonya has regained some of the strength she had at the beginning of the series.
My immediate thoughts upon finishing the book were that I not only loved this book but the whole series! This last book was packed with action, a few of the fantastic characters were lost towards the end of the fighting. Brilliant read! Highly recommend the whole series!
To finally sum up this whole series is brilliant! From reading the first words to the very last I found the series engrossing and really hated having to put the books down! As the series went on, I easily slipped back into the plot as I started each new book.
Survive The Conflict is book three of the Small Town EMP series and the small group of survivors are trying to stay alive while also fighting the New World Order. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, this author writes the best gripping and original “it could really happen” scenarios that are so believable it’s crazy scary. I highly recommend this author and this series to everyone who reads post-apocalyptic series.
The small group of survivors continue to learn how to live in the new world and attempt to stop the New World Order. This installment is filled with action and suspense, with new friends and with enemies as they navigate their way through the world they have been thrown into.

The existing conclusion to the authors newest EMP series comes to an explosive end when Austin and his group of survivors fight the NWO with everything they have. Thrilling and action pact this last installment sees the group forced to separate in able to take on and hopefully succeed in their ambitious plan to take down an entire organization hell bent on controlling the world, no matter the cost. Lives are on the line, new friends and enemies are always on the horizon and survival is a delicate balance of when to avoid and when to help. I enjoyed every minute of this latest series and am sad to see it come to an end. An exciting way to spend the afternoon lost in a world fraught with peril and a group of survivors determined to not just survive, but to thrive and live the best way they can imagine, for themselves and their children. Hopefully we will enjoy what comes next just as much!
This is another episode in this awesome story of post-apocalyptic age where the author shows her awesome expertise is living through that era. This is one of the best post-apocalyptic books I have ever read.

Dark Times in the US of A. Another Gripping, Non-Stop, Must-Read Blockbuster. Loved It.
Austin, Amanda and Team face more death and danger as they try to fix a world gone insane? The secrets they discover place them in the cross-hairs of the New World Order, intent on stopping them. Can they pull off, not one, but two suicidal missions in time to save the festering humanity left after an EMP takes away society as we know it?
Grace Hamilton had me paralyzed, waiting for the next frightening encounter. The odds are stacked against them, but her heroes have a plan. And time is not on their side. A story of betrayal and battling for every step and morsel of food makes this drama nerve-wracking. The few glimpses of compassion are overshadowed by the tension.
The Small Town EMP Series will entertain you and make you appreciate all you have: Food, Shelter, Friends, Technology and even Hope. Something the Small Town Survivors can only dream of.
