Publisher's summary

If society collapsed, could you survive?

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.

Whether we’re focused on the apocalypse or just an ill-timed breakdown on the side of a particularly remote road, there’s something about imagining survival scenarios that can be addictive. On some level, we all wonder if we would have what it takes to pit ourselves against the worst the world can possibly offer and make it out alive. That’s why it’s no surprise that survival literature is so popular, and that the stories in the genre are so diverse.

Tedious

Any additional comments?

I withdrew my 32 g I-pad air from my bag and connected it via blu tooth to my logitech keyboard which also doubles as a protective cover. Upon retrieving it from the bag I noticed two BIC pens, an extra power cord, two quarters, a dime, and four pennies. I pocketed the change and plugged in the I pad to charge. I don't know when I'll get a chance to charge it again. I am now ready to write this review. I must make it short because there might be a character limit. This book is very detailed and makes a point of describing every single ..............

Awesome book mediocre narrator

A terifically detailed survival book and solid story. I don't enjoy the narrator but he grows on you some. if you're into apocalyptic survival books, this one is top notch and much more realistic than the zombie stuff. I most especially enjoy the realism and believability.

overall a good book

Going Home is a pretty good book. Not highbrow literature, but it's not trying to be. Storyline is interesting. Caution... language is pretty rough so not for young children. Will continue the series.
