Publisher's summary

The End was just the beginning of the new world…

Only six weeks have passed since a super-EMP attack devastated the United States, but already, life has changed dramatically. Most of America has become a wasteland filled with starving bands of people, mobs and gangs. Millions are dead and millions more are suffering, with no end in sight.

For Gordon, Samantha, Sebastian, Cruz, and Barone, the turmoil and chaos they dealt with in the early weeks after the attack will seem trivial in comparison to the collapse of society that plays out before their eyes. Uncertainty abounds as they all travel different paths in search of a safe place to call home. The only thing that is definite is that The Long Road will take its toll on all of them.

Great Story

There was 1 incredibly annoying part that just about ruined the book, I only hope book 3 justifies it. If not, then this would be the first time i ever read a book with such rich opportunities be ruined by the actions in 1 paragraph.

starts out slow and picks up fast

got to love a cliffhanger. that ends in a cliffhanger! you will like it too

Good Book

Pretty good book. Some of the books in the genre can be kind of cheesy but this is definitely one of the better ones.

Not sure why some of the negative reviews are so strident. I'm guessing there's some kind of prepper forum somewhere with prepping geeks fighting about overly nuanced details of such a story - kind of like star wars nerds obsessing about similar petty details in that story.

Regardless, it's a good book. Not overdone one way or another, not too brutal, not too sappy. It actually reads like something out of the fall of Rome. The author has drawn on real life history and how cities would become isolated little city-states, generals would go rogue with their entire armies in tow, and so on.

Amazing!!!

Hopf writes this from a very interesting style and had me hooked from the very beginning to end! Characters are great, character development is outstanding and had twist and turns I never saw coming!

awesome

The book is another awesome novel by G. Michael Hopf. hopefully more to come soon!

A great story leading into another story. I love this series.

The narrator started off reading this book really fast. Just as I was irritated and almost put it down the problem was fixed and it became the enjoyable read just I was hoping for, as the first book.

Scary!!

Its unbelievable to think how quickly our friends and neighbors would become barbarians. Let's all hope we dont have to find out.

Very good book

Definitely happy with this story. It's nice to see a different out come. Not h
Just survival, but how they build America. The story does get confusing at some points multiple story lines going on at once.
