Publisher's summary

What if it all came crashing down?

It started with the "biggest" stock market crash in history. Banks shut down under the weight of their bogus investments, and the financial sector failed. People looked to the government to make it all better. They couldn't! Hyper-inflation, mass unemployment, and infrastructure started to breakdown. The food trucks didn't show up at the stores and the shelves went empty.

Things turned ugly fast when there was no power for long parts of the day... then forever. Cops, doctors, and trash collectors just stopped showing up for work when the paychecks were delayed too often, or just never came. Things started falling apart quicker after that. Whole regions declared a "State of Emergency" in an effort to maintain order and civility, but it wasn't always enough. Starvation, looting and murder became the norm. Then, our American civilization collapsed completely.

The Fall of America: Book 1 Premonition of Death is the beginning of a new series, about an average man whose life goes downhill fast, once society breaks down. Set in the rural south, a scorched-earth showdown with some local thugs leaves John and his wife homeless, and on the run. He hears rumors of a survivalist group made up of former military personnel, and finding them may be his only hope. Just basic survival becomes vicious, resistance at any cost, as the devastated country comes under new siege-invading Russian troops.

Good story and well performed

This story was a little different take on the theme of post collapse and had a lot of realistic scenarios.

Realistic

Evan though I'm a woman past friends have talked about combat. Heck even past patients have talk about combat during the sandbox era. This book gives you a real idea of what war is like.
