#emp strike

By Rich M – Off The Grid News

While having the right equipment and supplies is normally considered essential to survival, having the right skills trumps them both. You can make up for an equipment or supply shortage by having enough skills, but it’s much harder to do the reverse. Eventually, your supplies will run out. Then what will you do?

Typically, we break most of these skills down into two…

REVIEW

Final Fate by Kendall Talbot

Waves of Fate #3

 Riveting read that had me flipping pages quickly to find out what would happen to those left on the island and the four that left to search for a way to bring them all home to the USA. What would they face? Would they survive? Would they find the family that were not with them on the cruise liner? What secrets would come out? Would they find the mental and physical strength they would need and just how would they all end up at the end of this portion of their journey? All of these questions and more kept me reading hoping for answers and for a happy ending for the characters I grew to consider friends.

 What I liked:

* The people on the yacht that scooped the four from their dire predicament – they didn’t have to be kind, but they were and in being kind they showed that there were a few good people left in a chaotic world.

* The dual storyline of those left behind on the island and that of the four who make it to the USA to find a way to rescue everyone.

* That I cared about the outcome.

* Feeling immersed in the story.

* Being able to identify with the characters.

* Being allowed to see the thought processes of the characters.

* Thinking about what I would have done in the shoes of the various characters.

* Watching the growth and development of more than one in the story.

* Admiring the selflessness of more than one.

* That it was realistic.

* Thinking about what it would be like if something like this were to happen now – and wondering how I would fare.

* The way the decision was made to “rescue” everyone.

* Thinking about the future of those that managed to survive.

 What I didn’t like:

* Knowing that when survival is the line for self and loved ones it is more than likely people will not abide by current laws but instead do whatever it takes…no matter what.

* Thinking about the type of person(s) that would perpetrate an EMP or other terrorist attack.

* Having to say goodbye to the characters and wondering how they will manage in the future.

 The world is splintered, and so are the survivors.

Adrift at sea for weeks, a rescue party finally offers safe haven to the four survivors who escaped the island. But the civilized society they’ve always known has fallen… and a fractured, dangerous anarchy has taken its place.

Gunner. Charging into the chaos of the mainland, Gunner is determined to find his wife and daughter. But he has a new hell to deal with—desperate people with cutthroat motives.

Zon. Returning home forces Zon to face his worst nightmare—losing Jessie, the only woman he’s ever loved, in order to save her family.

Gabby. Still trapped on the island with the other desperate survivors, Gabby and Madeline fear they’ve been forgotten. But nothing could prepare them for the danger that washes up on the shore.

America is gone. Hope is all they have left. In a world of disorder, will the remaining passengers from Rose of the Sea ever make it home? Or will the darkness of human nature destroy what little is left?

Find out in this gripping post-apocalyptic EMP survival thriller.

Given Up On Your Blog Yet?

Why do I blog? Excellent question. Statistics suggest a new Blog is created every half a second. Do the math and that works out to 7,200 per hour, 172,800 per day, 63 million per year.  Factor in an almost exponential acceleration rate over the past three years, and you begin to get the picture.  Astounding.  We’re now living in a world where more people own a mobile device than a toothbrush. …
