"Whitley Strieber's and James Kunetka's writing skills are top notch! I cried as I read this out loud to my husband. Evoking emotions of sadness and realization of how easily everyone on the planet could be living a very different life in a flash. I am unable to express the seriousness of the need to read this one!"
"This book should be required reading for all Americans, and maybe for everyone worldwide.
It takes place a few years after Russia, panicked at being outdistanced in technology, has dropped a few nuclear bombs on the US. Naturally, we retaliated, so the government, and indeed the entire infrastructure of both countries are gone.
In this book, the two authors write as if they were writing a nonfiction story in a world where this has actually happened. They decide to travel together around the country to see what's left, to see what has happened to the America they used to know.
The results are frightening. Even though this book was written some twenty-plus years ago, it's easy to extrapolate and see how our country is a house of cards based on a shaky technological base. Pull out a card or two and the whole thing comes tumbling down.
Add to that countries around the world ready to leap in and take over the US, and you have a recipe for many nightmares to come.
Read it, but be warned: you won't be able to get it out of your mind, and you'll never look at your life and your country in the same way again."
"I have read and re-read this book many times throughout the years. I still find it a very scary look at what our future could hold for us. One of the best apocolyptic books ever written!"
