I would liked to have gotten more info on how the world got to the state it was in and more character development would also have raised my enjoyment of the story. Will follow up with the next book as it did provide me with enough entertainment that I want to continue. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:A young man comes of age as he fights to survive amid the downfall of America in this post-apocalyptic thriller. With the economy in free fall, the government crippled by indecision, the streets taken over by desperate mobs, and the fragile institutions of civilization crumbling, America suffers a full-scale collapse. Amid the destruction and anarchy, a young man finds himself homeless and alone on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., facing certain death unless he can master survival skills he never imagined needing. An innocent casualty of the chaos, this young patriot must discover his inner strength and defiant courage as he comes of age in the desolation of the country's languishing capital. Fending off violent citizens in a wasteland of looting and mayhem, the protagonist emerges as an ultimate force of justice in a lawless land. This compelling, fast-paced novel pulls readers in and lets them experience firsthand what life in the United States could be when its teetering society finally falls.

And the author is an unbelievable horndog; every other line seemed to reference "good-looking women" or getting to sleep with his hot ASIAN girlfriend (or his disappointment when she, perhaps rightly upset over observing violence and death, just wants to be held by the narrator). Women exist in the story simply to reinforce the necessity of the Bechtel Test.
As for story, it's somehow both too intricate and mind-numbingly vague. Collapse, sort of maybe? Some authority but its total absence? A random interlude and some killings at a possibly-renegade-possibly-not hidden army base in West Virginia, never to be spoken of again?
I've already spent far more time on this review than the book deserves. But jeez, is it this easy to be published? ( )
