As hordes of refugees and looters pour out of the cities, a small group of friends living in the Midwest desperately tries to make their way to a safe-haven ranch in northern Idaho. The journey requires all their skill and training since communication, commerce, transportation and law enforcement have all disappeared. Once at the ranch, the group fends off vicious attacks from outsiders and then looks to join other groups that are trying to restore true Constitutional law to the country.
Patriots is a thrilling narrative depicting fictional characters using authentic survivalist techniques to endure the collapse of the American civilization. Reading this compelling, fast-paced novel could one day mean the difference between life and death.
The only problem with this book is a bit of of literary license the author takes to ensure the protagonists are as skilled as they need (so it can be part how-to manual) – it is unrealistic for a military man to get that many top tier schools in so short of a time.
Other than that, I think it is a useful book, and worth the read.
