EMP Bugout, Book 1

By: Jeff Harwell

Narrated by: Aidan Harris

Would you know what to do if SHTF? How prepared would you be if the lights went out and the supply chain screeched to a halt tomorrow? The odds of something like this happening may have seemed far-fetched 20 years ago, but in light of current events, the possibilities are stacking up.

Societal collapse, a major earthquake, a winter storm taking out the power grid, a volcanic eruption, WWIII, nuclear winter, a pandemic with a lethality rate higher than .5%...? It’s near impossible to be prepared enough- and most likely none of us would fare as well as we’d hope.

This book takes you along on a journey with a group of friends as they learn to navigate a harrowing post-apocalyptic landscape. Four couples must band together for survival when a mysterious event threatens to destroy America’s power grid while simultaneously challenging its waning morality.

Learn from their failures and successes as they travel, on foot, from Arizona to East Texas in an attempt to outpace societal collapse and the rapid rise of the depravity of man.

poor dog lol

about a 1 / 4 through its great, it has good comedy but all I can say poor dog lol

Action packed and funny

I loved this book. It had the perfect balance of humor, action, and real world information. The adventure kept me turning pages, and the funny moments made it even more enjoyable. On top of that, I learned a surprising amount about EMPs without it ever feeling like a lesson. If you like fast-paced stories about how ordinary people would handle apocalyptic scenarios this is for you.

The characters

I enjoyed the fast action required to try to survive. It was interesting to find out what might occur under these circumstances. A new genre for me and I enjoyed it.
