Morgan Carter lives a comfortable yet simplistic life with
his wife and daughters, but when his car breaks down 250
miles from home, it's just the beginning of a life-changing
event. Electricity, running water, and the Internet are all
gone, and there's no telling when it will be restored.
Morgan is a survivalist, and now he's on the road going from
Tallahassee back home to Lake County toting supplies, as he
tries to reach his family. Determination and a set of skills
are on his side during his journey.
This was an incredibly fast read, mostly due to the fact
that I had to see what was going to happen - how this story
was going to end. I found this book to be the equivalent of
a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller movie where my
eyes are open wide, anticipating the worst of the worst to
happen, but still surprised when it does. The subject matter
played on one of my fears - the failure of the electrical
grid (by EMP, CME, or what have you) and humanity all but
crumbling, along with survival in a new and brutal world.
The author is clearly knowledgeable in survival matters, and
the information in the book, at times, can be pretty
impressive and technical. Even though, it doesn't drag the
reading down. This is part of a series, and I look forward
to reading every one and reaching the inevitable conclusion.
This was originally a self-published book, and the author,
an anonymous A. American, deserves kudos for roping in a
successful story that was good enough to be picked up by
Penguin and traditionally published. I recommend GOING HOME
to readers who enjoy survivalist apocalyptic tales and
downright compelling thrillers.
When Morgan Carter’s car breaks down 250 miles from his
home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things
are about to get much, much worse: the country’s power grid
has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no
Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be
restored—if it ever will be. An avid survivalist,
Morgan takes to the road with his prepper pack on his
back.
During the grueling trek from Tallahassee
to his home in Lake County, chaos threatens his every step
but Morgan is hell-bent on getting home to his wife and
daughters—and he’ll do whatever it takes to make that
happen.
Fans of James Wesley Rawles, William R. Forstchen's One
Second After, and The End by G. Michael Hopf will
revel in A. American's apocalyptic tale.
