The first in what appears to be a long series of books about an EMP attack involving Iran and North Korea on the US. This book (and likely series) is one of the best of the genre, as there is actual character development, reasonable writing, and a decent plot line. This kind of book usually has a bunch of political and “preppier” messages (types of weapons and supplies to stockpile, general promotion of the idea of preparation), to the detriment of everything else, but in this one it actually didn’t seem forced. The one complaint I have is the “serial” nature of the book. There is some action in the book, but it really doesn’t stand alone — it is part of a single story split across multiple books. If it were condensed into a single book, might be 5 star; as a stand-alone book it would be 3, but 4 is a reasonable compromise for the first of the series. I don’t know if I will get around to reading the rest of the series. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Axis of Evil had the perfect strategy. Destroy the heartbeat of America. Invade with their million man army. But there was one thing they didn't count on ... Texas. Once again, political suspense collides with post-apocalyptic thriller fiction as sixteen-time best selling author, Bobby Akart (The Blackout Series, The Pandemic Series, The Boston Brahmin series and the Prepping for Tomorrow series) intertwines historical fact with plausible fiction in The Lone Star Series. For decades, American administrations have forced our military to be neutered in many respects - hampered by restrained rules of engagement, passed in strength by Russia and China, and tested by rogue nations like North Korea and Iran. As a result, nuclear Armageddon hangs over us like a mighty sword. Military analysts agree that the United States can't start World War III. Why? We might lose. Sabers are rattling and the war of words escalate between America and her enemies, but the rhetoric has done little to stop the nuclear proliferation of North Korea and Iran. When the deep state, a close-knit group of powerful, influential people within our government challenges a new, untested President, things go awry. The decisions made in the darkened rooms of Washington have a profound impact on ordinary Americans like the Armstrong family, Texas ranchers who spend their time making a living, but also preparing for the worst. As most of the family lives their life in Texas, one of them will unknowingly be the catalyst for World War III. ABOUT THE LONE STAR SERIES Political suspense collides with post-apocalyptic thriller fiction with the Lone Star Series by Best Selling Author Bobby Akart. A devastating EMP attack thrusts most of America into darkness, except for one state which has taken the steps to protect its power grid - Texas. World War III is imminent and a new President faces terrible choices as she navigates the shark-infested waters of Washington, and the geopolitical complexities around the world. From Washington to Austin to a ranch in West Texas, decisions are made to protect the lives of Americans, some of which are considered selfish, rather than for people's survival. The Lone Star series is designed to be the most thought-provoking post-apocalyptic series ever written. It will be a reminder to us all that ... One day, tomorrow won't come.

Set in slightly future Texas, Axis of Evil covers the competing stories of the Armstrong ranching family and the on-going war of tension between the United States and North Korea.
Author Bobby Akart builds the view of a conservative, isolationist Texas complete with a Governor who openly speaks of an independent Texas Republic. The Armstrong family are ardent preppers.
In Washington DC, there is a great schism in the government. The President and her team are operating under the agreed upon NATO diplomatic negotiating rules to try to handle North Korea.
Meanwhile, a deep state cabal is doing everything they can to countermand her efforts. Plans are put into place and, unbeknownst to the President, launched.
Against this treacherous background, the story of the Armstrong family is very well built. I came to identify with each of the characters, although I'm sure not a conservative.
This first book in this series builds in tension quickly, fight scenes interspersed with intrigue. I was shocked at the end, until I realized the series continued. ( )
