This was written before COVID-19 (in 2013 if the other site is correct) but it weirdly parallels some of the things that happened during COVID-19 so I wondered if it had been written in response to that. (I've wondered for a while when we would see COVID-19 type situations showing up in contemporary fiction, so I wondered if this was one of those.)

I believe this came up as a free e-book. As far as I know, I've not read anything by this author before. The book was interesting--sometimes a bit scary.

I liked Bowie and his loyalty to Raines. I liked that the citizens of Boone decided to take back their town. I dislike the female president being "weak" and giving in to her VP's agenda.

I've read the first seven of this series, and would recommend them.

This is not 'the group forms and moves to a farm to survive' series, but much more of an action series. Two of the main characters are larger than life guys, but fiction heroes are. The author is an Army veteran, NASA engineer, and disaster preparedness expert and has published a number of well received non-fiction books as well. His knowledge and intelligence show clearly in this series.

Editing: Excellent. If there were errors, they were few.

Violence: Absolutely. This is a story of survival following disaster(s) so expected

Page turning: Again, absolutely, although by about the fifth book I felt like the storyline was beginning to drag some and was happy to see the author finished up the INITIAL storyline with book 7. There are more available after that about the 'next phase' that I may read. Not sure yet. I read all seven in a row, fairly quickly & maybe just need a break. Also felt a little like the author was padding the story and/or stringing me along so I'd buy more of the books

Other notes: Religion didn't play a huge part in this series. There were some good religious leaders and some bad ones. I didn't feel preached to but don't think that the religious community will feel offended. The book also goes a bit sci fi/fantasy with some virus victims, but I felt it just added to the plot.

The Survivalist: Frontier Justice centers upon a US Marshal, who after spending a few weeks of vacation in his father's desolate cabin up in the hills, he feels rested enough to return to work. When he exits from deep in the forest, the Marshal finds it odd that there isn't any traffic and yet destroyed cars litter the roadways. He soon learns that a virus has decimated humanity and those remaining are traveling in gangs and taking what they have for themselves; often killing the men and raping the women.

The marshal soon comes upon a biker gang who quickly overpower him in their clubhouse and tie up his unconscious body for a planned execution later that day. A nearby town is under the gangs control, the inhabitants cower in fear as gang members do as they please in the absence of law and order. The marshal finally learns that he may be the only representative of the law - maybe even in the entire United States - and decides it's up to him to tame this frontier. When he escapes, the bodies begin to pile up. He will be the law of the land and bring a stop to the pillaging...or die trying. Readers will also learn some tricks from The Survivalist that might save them in the event of a real catastrophe.

Even though there are 10 books in the series, this book can stand on it's own without leaving a cliff hanger at the end. Nice job Mr. Bradley!

The subject of EMPs/Solar Storms, as the author makes a it a point to allude to, is merely one component of a more robust preparation plan.

No, this book is not about doom and gloom, or the end of the world. This book, is however, about the very realistic fact that solar storms do and have taken place, and EMP [electromagnetic pulses] are a realistic concern/threat among many high-level individuals.

Many people scoff at the notion of having knowledge of preparedness and these are the same people that will literally spend thousands of dollars yearly on all types of insurances, for things they will in all high probably likely never use. That’s how the Insurance Companies make money, you know.

Ironically, the mere mention in some circles of a month’s worth of food – that you’re going to eat anyways, and thus not incur any additional financial cost like “real insurance” – makes some believe that certain preparedness principles are far out there. The reason? With TV Shows & Media that do nothing but marginalize individuals that are into preparedness, it’s no wonder the lot of the populace is brainwashed on the subject. And yet, all of our ancestors practiced – as they had too – prudent preparedness in the past. Don’t believe me? How was food stored over the winter? It was canned and stored in a myriad of ways, among other things. It had to be, if not, you might eat less, or might not eat. It was certainly stored other ways as well. That shows a very practical precedent for general preparedness.

In any case, this book is more of an advanced tier into preparedness, but a needed one nonetheless.

Disaster Preparedness For EMP Attacks & Solar Storms by Arthur T. Bradley Ph.D is a rather swift read. It should take no more than 2-3 hours tops, or even quicker if you know many of the topics already covered.

The book is rather incisive in that it cuts through much of the BS that is out there online in regards to protection in mitigating EMP/Solar Storms. This is my favorite part of the entire book.

In a rather comprehensive way, this book addresses all areas of concern individuals interested in preparedness should be pondering. That is very helpful especially if you are a beginning prepper and just managed to jump into this topic.

Out of all preparedness subjects, an EMP/Solar storm threat is one of those issues that is extremely unlikely to happen, and yet, it’s quite possible especially when extreme solar activity and solar storms are taking place.

It really doesn’t take a lot to get prepared if you do it right. There is much misinformation/disinformation out there in regard to these subjects. This is one great reason why this book stands out. Bradley goes straight to the point, and keeps it practical while not also overdoing it.

All in all, this book is a vital component for individuals interested in general preparedness.

That being said, before jumping on this book, people should probably make sure they have other more likely areas of concern [more possible/common areas]- such as earthquakes, tornadoes [we live in Tornado alley here], hurricanes, etc. – addressed.

Bradley makes his case with sound, verifiable and meaningful information that is sorely lacking in many other disciplines. This can see throughout the entirety of the book, and only serves to buttress the information provided by the author.

The book even showcases a table that is very useful which outlines the shielding effectiveness of various enclosures.

While not in most people’s most likely scenarios to happen – and rightly so – EMPs/Solar Storms are something to keep in mind. If you think this book might help you, then by all means give it a consideration. The book is definitely high quality work for such an abstruse subject.
