I understand this is the first book in the series however, it’s slow. The internal conflict of the characters is over emphasized in comparison to the action. I’m a native NM and live in ABQ so I thought it was cool to have an apocalyptic book based here. It was good but not what I was expecting after reading over 50 other books in this genre. I think A. Americans’ Going Home series, Franklin Hortons’ Locker Nine series, William Forstchens’ One second after series have set the bar high. I’m going to read book 2 hoping it gets better. And what’s with almost every author writing “clips” instead of “magazine” when discussing weapon reloads??? Come on man!
