This caused a record drop in the stock market, and due to a national debt of twenty trillion dollars, the value of the dollar is on the edge of collapsing. Now, due to civil unrest, riots are starting to break out across the country. Our enemies see our weakness and know it is time for them to take their places as world leaders. However, they have to find a way to neutralize the American military. Two countries think they have come up with a way and have set everything into motion to do just that. * Vince and Kim Johnson live on a farm forty miles to the southeast of Kansas City, Missouri. After serving seventeen years in the Army, due to an injury, Vince had to take a medical retirement. Now, all he thinks he has to fight is "cabin fever." Little does he know that a chain of events is about to take place that will test all his training, skills and even his faith. Both must band together with family, inexperienced friends and four of the men he served with years earlier, to prepare for and try to survive a time unlike any in our history. * This is a fiction novel and book of survival; but through the story, it explores the emotions and beliefs of love, faith, lust, temptation, hate, racism, revenge and desperation. The main character has lived his life serving his country; in the military and as a police officer. He believes in God, but is not an active churchgoer, like many today. You will experience his internal struggle as he knows what to do as a soldier and survivalist, but he must find a balance that doesn't conflict with his faith that he knows he should live by. This is book one of a three book series that will show what the majority of humanity may have to face in our lifetime and the struggle against our own human nature. It will also give the average person ideas on how to prepare for most emergencies and disasters and on an average family budget. Surviving isn't just based off of the supplies you have, but also how to prepare mentally. less
