Those that recommended 'One Second After'

It looks like you will not have to read Lights Out. They are turning it into a DVD.

So just to jump in with 1/2 cent...

In the past few months I have read:
OSA-good, bit dark but not bad
Lights Out-personally, I liked it better than OSA, not as dark, liked the characters more I guess
Going Home-great, can't wait for sequel
Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse-good, bit more religious than my liking but this is what I fear the most (at least the causation of a SHTF event)
Patriot Dawn-ok, very geared toward ground tactics (has a lot of detailed description of terrain as battles are unfolding and my mind doesn't visualize it well, so I start skimming, looking for the good stuff)
Enemies Foreign and Domestic-Good (skimmed the first few pages of the sequel, probably won't go there)


THanks for all the leads!!

BTW, here's a good source: http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/shtf

I read the first 299 Days over the past couple of days and it's well worth what Amazon is asking for the Kindle edition. I'm excited to get caught up on the series now.

You do know you can "Share" titles. I have one you might want to check out pm me.

OSA was started in the late evening and i fell asleep before i finished it as dark was fading in to the west.

You gotta finish it Jim. Great book. I too finished Patriots recently and as mentioned above, a little too heavy on the religion. For those that are big on the Christian faith, it will mean more to them but when the world goes to hell in a handbasket people are going to need something to keep them going. For some, it is their belief system or moral compass. For me, it will be a willingness and drive to survive; something I picked up along the way. Patriots was also very big on gear description, talking about what the group procured prepper wise and how they trained. For those looking to be part of a commune or survival group, it has some added benefit from a planning standpoint.

finished lights out a couple days ago. Kinda long but decent read at least for me. But good over all.

sent from my fancy dancy phone that'll soon be outdated or broken

Now I want to read One Second After.

It'll be one of the best books you've read in some time Sparky.
