This is the literary equivalent of watching a Hollywood B movie where the characters make the most illogical decisions possible despite being labeled as “prepper” etc. The lack of reason, logic, or basic ability to assess cause and effect makes it a painful read/listen. I gave it a chance hoping it would get better, but it only got worse. Not worth the credit:$. It was such a head scratcher when all of the men were absurdly uncomfortable even handling a backpack that had tampons in it and the tactical decisions were nothing but blunders… then I looked up the author and it made sense.
