I was given this book as a gift and had to write a review. I read it on a flight, a business trip. What a fast and smooth read.
SPOILER ALERT.
It is a political thriller that takes you down two paths. One story is about the aftermath of an EMP attack with a great southern feel. That part of the story occurs in the U.S., on the east coast, and covers action from the Carolinas to Michigan. Henry, a military guy, and his friends are helping a buddy defend his property, his business (a gun store), his family and friends, against an onslaught of looters and criminals who want what he has. The main currency in chaos: guns and ammo.
The other story takes Jason, the main character, from his home in California to Europe to Afghanistan and beyond, on the hunt for the guilty party. The Chinese are blamed at first, but it’s not them. Although they’re made to pay, the real culprits have a bigger bill coming their way.
