Prepper's Crucible - Omnibus: An EMP Tale Paperback – October 14, 2015

I have enjoyed reading Bobby Andrews books very much. He has got a real grasp on this kind of story. If you want to know more, read it yourself.

i read a lot and i loved this book, never read this author before. Bought this book in paperback do not have a kindle nor do i want one. But the rest of this series only is in kindle not fair to hook us and then we cant finish the series.

Good realistic scenarios and solid prepping planning. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and look forward to the balance of the saga.

Title says it all

A pretty good story, but nothing new.Don and his group are quite prepared. They have very few of the hardships that many groups encounter after an EMP knocks out the power grid. They are set up on Don's ranch, and are well-stocked with food and supplies.There are a few encounters with groups that want what they have, but these are faceless and evil. They don't have to make hard choices, like sending starving children away, or friends that need a handout.Results: a pretty good read, but nothing that requires any soul searching.

Great tale with lots of action and just the right narrator, Kevin Pierce. Don't miss this and get the other part 4-6. You won't be disappointed.

Great series and message, gifted storyteller that spins a great yarn about something that could happen at anyrime

A team of prepper’s have been preparing for different scenarios, not because they think they will happen, but because they’re afraid it could. Well, they were right. Two nuclear devices were detonated in the atmosphere causing everything electrical to stop working. Aka, an EMP has gone off. Follow this group of survivors as they try and get to their camp and survive once they’re settled in.Narration for this was done by Kevin Pierce. I know nothing about Kevin, but I feel like he is a prepper himself — I could be totally wrong, but he just had the perfect voice for this book. He had an air of auhtority like some of the characters needed, and a very “matter of fact” tone to his narration (which is how the book was written too). Kevin definintely added to the story with his narration.Okay, so this book was good. Don’t get me wrong there. I’m really glad that this was an omnibus edition. If the book had ended where any of the “episodes” or whatever the author is calling them, I would have been livid. Even with that being said, the books just kind of ended. No real plot conclusion, just people doing what they can to survive.The characters were believable to an extent. Some of them fit the actual “prepper” image that most people would have, while others seemed to be going along for the ride.The interactions between the team and outsiders was a little rough, but I think that the author meant for it to be that way.I really do like these survival stories, but this one just fell slighly flat for me. I think because barely anything happens. Sure, there was some action, some gunfights, and the likes… but it just felt like these people weren’t challenged enough or something like that.This book was hard for me to rate because I liked it, but I just felt like it could have been more. Apparently there is a book 4, but I’m not sure what will happen in it that hasn’t happened in the first.Did you like this review and want to see more like it? Check out briansbookblog DOT com
