Amazing series thus far

Best book I’ve read on the SHTF TEOTWAWKI subject. The intensive detail he goes into the gear is something preppers enjoy, it’s a big part of the hobby or lifestyle and paints a vast picture into the character themselves from what they carry. It’s all based on actual gear and people reading might be able to relate to the gear Morgan carries. Maxpedition pouches, big berkey, esse knives etc. I personally enjoy that writing style a lot. I understand it might be might numbing to some people but for people interested and active in prepping it’s fantastic.

Pretty good!

It’s a really good book, but some of the narration wasn’t the best. But over all still really great

Riveting.

I had a hard time turning it off. So many things I never considered. It made me stop and think how I would handle the situation.

Very Good

I read a lot of apocalyptic novels and really enjoyed this one.It seems more believable than most ,not over the top brutal except for a few places.The characters seem like everyday people and the hero Morgan is not a rabid prepper but likes to be prepared for anything.Thats kind of how I feel so found him relatable.Worth listening to.Now on to book three.Yes I enjoyed the first enough to really want to follow the characters through to the end of their story.

Got to know the characters a lot better

in this book we really get a sense of the sarge and get to know him and his team. some good plot lines and storylines. and some really interesting twists and turns in Morgan's Adventures. I got to understand the situation and the options much better.
