I felt like this was quite a great addition to the series. Franklin Horton is able to bring in scenarios which I feel are inherently realistic to the environment in which the story line takes place… It is not outlandish or fantasy, it is realistic to a point that if you are not thinking ACTIVELY about your own situation and potential scenario in a grid-down scenario, you should be. The Charlie situation really threw me off and I am glad the outcome ended the way it did. All I have to say to the author is, please keep this up. I wish you could write much faster. However, I know it takes work. You keep writing, I will keep buying. I highly recommend this and all of the other books/series by Franklin Horton.
