I was hoping for an insightful but enjoyable story of prepared people overcoming the disaster of societal collapse. But Tate blames the collapse entirely on liberals. It’s absurdly biased and insulting even to conservatives. And he tries so hard to point out that particular races are not to blame that he inadvertently reveals his own racism. It’s really too bad because there are elements of the story that would have been fun to play out.

Another issue I have is that this is at most a two book series, but he unnecessarily stretches it into multiple volumes in a cheap attempt to squeeze as much money out of us as he can.
