Publisher's summary

People started getting sick...

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine. The collapse happened so gradually, nobody saw it coming...but the very few.

Lifelong friends...

Three doctors, a realtor, a contractor, and a pro shooter/model, make up the couples who had been lifelong friends and pooled their money to prepare for hard times. They soon find out money cannot buy you everything, even safety and security.

A jealous rancher wants to buy their land and does not want to take “no” for an answer. More than once, Lyle and his family are found on the wrong side of the fence. With human remains found on the new property, the mystery deepens, as the world around them slowly descends into chaos.

Scary potential legitimate issue nowadays

I really liked this book given the current times and how fast performative allyship is a true issue people who just want to be left alone have to deal with. It's relatable because I'd be willing to go to the same lengths for me and mine.

Good story well written.

We enjoyed the book. As alway, Kevin Pierce did an excellent narration. I will buy the rest of the series and recommend this book to others. Nice to see one centered around well educated hard working people.

Narrator was wonderful. I don't think this is how the end of the world as we know it will occur, but entertaining. I am getting book 2 in series.
