the book was good, not great but good. Its the first book in the series and good enough for me to buy book 2. it was a little drawn out and he could have gotten home quicker. I feel like this book needed to have more progression past him getting home. the bunker was supposed to have a blast door yet was bypassed fairly quickly. also the escape tunnel didn’t have a hatch of its own, just sand. the characters were good, nice job on the background for each of them. well written and thought out.
