Okay, this series deserves a review. Hmmm. Where to start?Writing Style and Story: two stars. It is painful in parts. Especially in the first book, "Prologue: The Brothers." The series is many parts boring, and several parts cheesy. I skimmed a lot of this series. It seemed that over half of ...
This was a great read for me. It can be easy to be critical sometimes of our government and complain about the things I don't like, but this was a good reminder for me of the unique history of our country.

Particularly the writing style.Also, my overall rating for the entire series is a 2, maybe a 2.5. I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone and I definitely won't be rereading any of ...
I really enjoyed this series of books for many reasons. The author's description of the nuclear attacks was compelling and the aftermath of the EMP was very thought provoking. Makes me want to get a VERY generous supply of iodine tablets to purify water if needed. The interaction between the f...
