I quickly became hooked on this series of plausible post-apocalyptic novels after reading the first in the series, Frontier Justice. Dr. Bradley has written an insightful series that provides valuable information for life in general as well as being prepared for a crisis. Having served 30 years as a field artilleryman with 13 years overseas including a combat tour in Vietnam, I could relate to the observations and experiences of Deputy Mason Raines who is a true American hero. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy how well Dr. Bradley has developed each of the main and side characters. The author is extremely knowledgeable about weapons, equipment, and survival skills.He then has an insightful foreword focusing on the dangers of nuclear reactors and cites several catastrophes in which he includes Three-Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima’s Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Having been a history teacher, I have to point out that Three Mile Island should be considered an accident or incident because it was nowhere near the same category as the other sites which were indeed true catastrophes.On occasion, I found Tanner to be in some aspects to be a cross between MacGyver and Bear Grylls.There were several twists to the story that I found implausible. One was when Issa decided to return to Washington to inform the infected women of her colony that they too could become pregnant. “Mother” simply would not tolerate competition in the birthing of children. The other was when Samantha and Tanner took a major detour to find a cat.Although the AK-47 and its variants is the most ubiquitous firearm in the world, where did Beebie find his AK-47 in America? A word of explanation would have been nice.I had some technical challenges with the manner in which Tanner ignited the GBU-39s.
