GOODREADS BLURB
America is falling, ready to join the Roman Empire as a distant memory in the annals of history. The year is 2027. Tired and desperate, the American people are deep in the middle of The Second Great Depression. The Florida coastline is in ruins from the most powerful hurricane on record; a second just like it is bearing down on the state of Texas. For the first time in history, the Middle East has united as one and amassed the most formidable army the world has seen since the Third Reich. A hidden army of terrorists is on American soil. This is the story of three men: Howard Beck, the world’s richest man, also diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Richard Dupree, ex-Navy SEAL turned escaped convict. Maxwell Harris, a crippled, burned out Chief of Police of a small Texas town. At first they must fight for their own survival against impossible odds. Finally, the three men must band together to save their beloved country from collapse.
It feels to me like I have read the book, but don’t find a review and marked read anywhere. It looks fantastic and worth another read, just to make sure. I downloaded it from Amazon on 8.23.12 and added it my TBR on 8.8.12. Looks like I won another good book.
Goodreads rating: 3.68

I’ve had a very mixed year with my apocalypse books but it never puts me off trying new ones! Hope you enjoy it!
thanks chuckles
I just DNF’d a similar book by another author. I hope this one works better for you!
me too
I really need to find more apocalypse books because they just sound so good! I’ll be adding this to my TBR, hopefully I like it!
i hope we both do
This one sounds scary to me!
glad to hear it
Sounds scary and bleak
that’s what drew me to it
I hate when that happens, that I think I have read a book but am not sure and find no evidence to support my thinking despite the story being familiar. The same thing is happening with this post, I feel like I read it and commented, but there is no comment from me. Isn’t it weird when things like this happen??
drat. i don’t see it in spam. those computer gremlins are at it again. lol
Yep, this is right up your alley, Sherry!
for sure
This does sound really good! There are a few books that I have come across that I think I might have read but can’t remember. I am so glad that Goodreads is around to keep track of those things for me now!
