Publisher Description
If society collapsed, could you survive?
When Morgan Carter’s car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: the country’s power grid has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be restored—if it ever will be. An avid survivalist, Morgan takes to the road with his prepper pack on his back.
During the grueling trek from Tallahassee to his home in Lake County, chaos threatens his every step but Morgan is hell-bent on getting home to his wife and daughters—and he’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Fans of James Wesley Rawles, William R. Forstchen's One Second After, and The End by G. Michael Hopf will revel in A. American's apocalyptic tale.
Customer Reviews
Great story told through unique writing style
I love how technical the author is throughout the story, giving details down to brand names of certain technologies and tools as well as (mostly) geographically accurate events. Anyone from FL like me will particularly appreciate it. My only criticism is there are a few moments throughout the story where the author's conservative political views are just a bit too obvious and hard to ignore (coming from a centrist)
Must Read
A. American might have wrote the perfect post apocalyptic novel of a very possible future. Going Home is action packed, and suspense filled. The story has vivid imagery that paints a perfect picture of a voyage through the heart of Florida. A must read for any prepper, outdoorsman, or Patriot.
Florida Man will survive.
Hilarious
Two stars because it made me laugh.
Don’t expect much of a plot or anything resembling character development. This is literally a rambling story of a dude walking home with people-killing interspersed enough to make it sort of interesting.
The funny part is the nefarious liberal socialist gub’mint taking the good country folks’ guns and food. The government agents are all either drawer-wetting yella’ bellies or straight up masochists, wielding their socialist agendas like a cudgel. The American populace is made up of two types, the leeches who want Uncle Sam to change their dirty nappies and the real men (and I mean MEN, women are hysterical and mostly helpless) who shoot stuff, drive big trucks and mock each other relentlessly… oh, and don’t depend on anyone for anything (helpin’ folks is for libs)!
Anyhow, good for a laugh, but kinda tedious otherwise. Oh, and I’m pretty sure the author doesn’t understand how to use the word ‘quip’.
