Without
By
EE Borton
So
the day begins like most other days he is on the downtown connector heading to
work and at 8:13 everything changes. Anything powered by engine or battery goes
completely dead, cars crash, power is out and from the looks of it downtown
Atlanta is going up in flames. He must get out of town and to the
safety of the north Georgia Mountains. His only thought is how will he manage
so many miles only on foot. Everyone has the same attitude, lawless and
trying to survive own their own. That means massive looting and basic survival.
He is glad he had the frame of mind to be somewhat prepared. After his car
crashed in the middle of the expressway he grabs his pack with most of his essentials
and most importantly his main chance of survival, his weapons. He goes back to
his apartment but only for the last few things to start his trek. Little
does he know that not only is all the power gone but Mother Nature is revved up
for one crazy storm after another. Massive thunderstorms, biblical amounts of
hail, and floods are just the beginning of life after 8:13
I absolutely love this book.
I am usually not that interested in end of the world type stories but
this one is told from a completely different point of view and brought real
prospective along with it. The author
keeps things in a positive upswing even though the subject matter is quite
serious. It really makes you think about
the lives we live and how differently our world would be if the lights went out
never to return. I cannot say enough
wonderful things about this book and how much I enjoyed it. This is the first
of 3 books by Mr. Borton that I am reading and I am super excited to bring this
wonderful story to my followers. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
