Russ and Anne Mathews live in a rural suburb in Tennessee. Regular people, with regular jobs, living a normal life – except for one thing. They are what many people call “preppers”. They have stocked up on supplies to survive any kind of event they can think of that may occur to disrupt life as they know it. When that event comes, they start preparing for the new way of life they will face. Along … face. Along with their teenage son, and their next door neighbors and best friends, they plan their exit from a neighborhood too close to the city to a farm in the country. They just have to get there.
Their faith in their own capabilities and in humankind will be challenged, as they fight to protect and keep their supplies and, quite possibly, their lives.

Liked it but not enough to read the second book
The book is well written, but this first volume is like a preppers basic to do list. Lots of words around what people should have done to prepare, but its a “trudge” through all the pages to find out the real story line is like in the volumes that follow.
Should have combined it with what will be volume 2. There may be quite a few like me who are going to be disappointed and not move to volume 2.
This is just a preppers handbook of sort with a thin veneer of story telling holding “how to prep” as the glue that binds it all.
Very disappointing and no one needs a 240 page “preface” to prepping in an emergency.
Too wordy for this type of story but the topic is interesting
