This book was an enjoyable SHTF read. I appreciated the author taking on the problem of a disaster happening while members of the family are away from home, as well as the reluctance of certain people to accept the need to be prepared even when someone is willing to do it for them (something I certainly think about). The author clearly has an understanding of preparedness issues and makes some good suggestions through the narrative. I did find some portions of the story to be a bit too coincidental but I understand why he worked the storyline out that way. As far as narration goes Kevin Peirce is good as always in this genre. His intonation of this story makes it flow better than it otherwise might have. “Full Disclosure: I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.”
