Interesting read, but a little on the simplistic side... and that author desperately needs an editor. Grammar, spelling and word-choice are horrendous. I question if he graduated... from grammar school, that is.
For a better read on the same subject, pick up "A State Of Disobedience" by Tom Kratman. It's just about as subtle as Cold Camp, but at least the grammar and spelling are well done.
I've just passed the 40% mark in Lights out and have to say that it has me hooked. I also suspect that either it or Jericho borrowed material from the other. The Clincher was the end of chapter 33. Different characters, same kitchen table.
Getting a "Can't find" error for LightsOut?
I perhaps could have been a little more tactful...
It's on ASSM.I don't recall what book you wrote last and put up on the internet for all to read.
Just finished Lights Out myself and am glad I read it, very entertaining and a good read.
But I just have this urge I can't shake to buy lots of ammo....
The only thing I did not care about in Lights Out is we never really learn who did what to cause the EMP.
Also what kind of "thing" could cause an EMP to wipe out the entire country?
The pulse can easily span continent-sized areas, and this radiation can affect systems on land, sea, and air. The first recorded EMP incident accompanied a high-altitude nuclear test over the South Pacific and resulted in power system failures as far away as Hawaii. A large device detonated at 400–500 km over Kansas would affect all of CONUS. The signal from such an event extends to the visual horizon as seen from the burst point.
