Idgie Says:To me, this book somewhat resembled "The Martian" but instead of a man minutely detailing how to survive on Mars with a lot of experience and some MacGyver techniques, Max is straight out of the military trying to survive the complete and sudden breakdown of society. In this dystopian novel, America destroys the very infrastructure of modern day civilization in a terrorist military maneuver. I grasped why this plot was formed, but never grasped how the total breakdown of the world was going to help the economy.
This book is military in nature, but Max is not a hard-assed Colonel with a cold nature. He's just a guy who made it into an intensive Seal like unit, only to shortly thereafter realize he just helped destroy the world. He spends the rest of the book surviving and sometimes helping others.
Interesting reading, but need to be prepared for a lot of detail on weapons, training and whatnot.
