Anyone have a link to Patriots, I may want to check it out.

Not gonna add details, but Im to a point in the book(3/4 done) where I definitely didn't see the things going on now happening.... very interesting twist, and a damn good book
Ok any more suggestions? I'm in the mood for a fiction EOTWAWKI book. Already read Patriots, Lucifer's Hammer, Light's Out, One Second After, Day by Day Armageddon (I & II), Alas Babylon.
Yeah I hit that one too. Im thinking that I have burned through all of the entertaining fiction out there that is worth reading on the subject.
quarantine, dead city, apocalypse of the dead
The problem is, for a first-timer, I have a feeling it's just going to reinforce the BS about the "evil phsycotic assault rifle toting anti-gov. militant survivalists all hiding out in their bunkers just laying in wait to take potshots at passing hippies and pro-choicers".:jester: Or something along those lines. You know what I mean.
If it were me, I'd start 'em off with something a little more benign, like a general preparedness "how to" guide...
Wow. I actually saw the movie that was made of that back when I was a kid. Gave me all sorts of jolly ideas about running off to live in the wild....:laugh:
I'm with you there.
No I haven't read this particular book, and I get the whole character development thing. But this type of ridiculously in-depth meandering nonsense has ALWAYS pissed me off. Details, yes. But I just don't give a damn about what brand of coffee the character likes, what color tie he wore to work and the minute details of why he picked that specific color, the color of everyones underwear at the office, so forth and so on.
Blah!:bad:
Sounds like another one to add to the pile....
One second after was really great. I picked it up immediately after hearing about it here, and got so hooked I blew through it in 8 hours or so. A nice change of pace, especially after a certain other book that's been mentioned here...:p
