slower than many stories like this I’ve read , but ultimately I believe more believable. I appreciate how the main character has used time and resources at his disposal to prepare. While these characters do have firearms I haven’t seen that aspect take as big an aspect as many stories. I believe much as Boston t party and Saxon did; a . 22, a pistol, a shotgun, a carbine, and a rifle should be all a prepper needs till other requirements are met. I am recommending to my kids and possibly new peppers.
