The dystopian world of an old Spanish moss-covered movie set attraction not far from a small southern town becomes the base of operations for the survivors. Everyone one is forced to choose for themselves their own path when it comes to how to compete for survival in this newly evolving post-apocalyptic world.

The small-town locals, the event campers and the parks day visitors must all compete with bared teeth for limited resources and food before time runs out and starvation takes its deadly toll. A study in preparedness psychology and strategies as different minded or focused groups of people get their vehicles stranded on the island after the causeway leading to the mythical town of Spectre floods. The politically connected landowner is overwhelmed with the refugees and wants the National Guard to come take them away to FEMA camps, but the surviving preppers say no and are willing to fight!

I’ve listened to 30 Ron Foster books

I love Ron Foster’s books. Somewhat addicted. This book was a good story. The only thing I didn’t like was all of the grammatical errors and what I would call typos and mispronunciations.


It made it very difficult to listen to the whole story.

I also wish there was an easier way to find all of the different series, in order.
