Brian M. (mutant) reviewed Well thought out. on 5/27/2009

As a fan of apocalyptic fiction this book left me terrified. While a little preachy at times about "why didn't we do anything", the book is extremely well thought out about just how little we can support ourselves without our infrastructure. As a Marine in Quantico VA (1993), I attended several classes regarding breakdown of civilian infrastructure during disaster or catastrophic event and I can say that William brings these facts to a very personal and factual light.

The book obviously wants you to go out and lobby for our government to work on our infrastructure and any quick search will show several PAC groups devoted to this very topic. I say all the more power to them and I've even picked one to become a part of. Don't let this aspect of the book keep you from it though, the novel is extremely engaging and will take you on an emotional journey.

If you are a fan of apocalyptic fiction you'll find this book will not let you down, but you may end up hating it because it is almost too realistic. I don't however, I'm happy to have read it.
