About this eBook

Book 1 of The Survivalist Series

If society collapsed, could you survive?

When Morgan Carter’s car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: the country’s power grid has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be restored—if it ever will be. An avid survivalist, Morgan takes to the road with his prepper pack on his back.

During the grueling trek from Tallahassee to his home in Lake County, chaos threatens his every step but Morgan is hell-bent on getting home to his wife and daughters—and he’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen. 

Fans of James Wesley Rawles, William R. Forstchen's One Second After, and The End by G. Michael Hopf will revel in A. American's apocalyptic tale.

This book came out a couple years after the dark titan series. and it's pretty much the same story. like... plot point by plot point, guy doesnt like snakes, pretty college girl wants to join him on his walk home, half a prepper main character, wind up watch, i swear he stole this from the dark titan series, wish i hadnt bought this book. Thomas a watson wrote it way better, this is the cheap version.

This book is embarrassingly badly written. It's like a preppers wet dream so that's enough to keep most of us who found this book for that reason interested, but it's like they laid on that and decided that it was interesting enough that they didn't need to actually putting the effort into the storytelling.

One of my all time favorite series. I have read it several times and each time I pick up information I missed previously. These books are filled with real world knowledge and information if one cares to learn from them while also enjoying the fictional read.
