i almost dnf'ed this book because of the military worship and the american patriotism oozing out of its pages, as well as the weird sexism thing towards the daughters, but i pushed through. i have only read a few on post-apocalyptic fiction, mostly involving zombies, and now i am scared shitless of EMP's. before i started reading this book, i found out that the main protagonist had military background, and after reading the Sundown series, i felt disappointed by his lack of preparation.

but that ending, my goodness, i was really hoping for a miracle.
