This is a continuation of the After the EMP series. This is a more of a companion trilogy since it mirrors the timeline of events in Darkness Begins. The characters are connected since Colt is the air marshall on the flight that Madison's dad was the pilot.

It is a tale of survival and finding allies in unexpected places. Colt finds his in a street child named Dani. This is just the beginning of their story. It is a well written, entertaining book with engaging characters and plot.

Should have been amazing
This could have been an amazing game. The first Alone in the Dark game I had played. I'm a big fan of survival Horror games. It started well but all I can remember is getting to a certain point not that far in the game and getting stuck. No idea, or clue what to do or if I had enough ammo to survive an attack. Far too vague, could have been one of the best games otherwise.

I grew up with a PTSD driven Vietnam Vet for a father, so this book reaonated very deeply with me. The father character was portrayed as very true to life. I know, because except for the domestic abuse, he was my father...the push for survival skills, self reliance and the certainty that our own government was out to get us. Kristin Hannah's brought to life the tragedy of our vets, along with the beauty of America's last frontier. Well worth your time.

Wow, if you ever need a reality check about how hard your life probably isn't this book is a way to do it. Not only do you read about an amazing survival story, that honestly I have no idea how this man did survive but you also learn about more than what a regular school history lesson would teach you about. My heart just hurt for this man on so many occasions throughout this book. How he continued to go on and get through everything is amazing! I would definitely reccomend this book.

Cool survival game to play with a friend
I play this with my son. We have several worlds we play. It can be difficult especially when you lose all your stuff and playing legitimately can take forever. There is a cheat option though and for my son it makes the game easier when you just want to go around killing zombies and collecting stuff. The game sometimes freezes or stops working but not enough to cause major problems in playability

Relentless (The Lost Fleet, #5)

Book Rating
This is the penultimate book in Jack Campbell (pen-name of Jon Geary) 'Lost Fleet' series, with the Alliance fleet nearing their home border with the Syndics. The very start of this novel is actually set 100 years previous, before 'Black Jack' Geary is rescued from survival sleep before the very start of the first book in the series: "Dauntless".

If you've read the others in the series, you prety much know what to expect: 'real-time' space battles, political machinations, and a sub-plot involving traiters within the fleet ...

Nice
Plenty of big names in this survival thriller. The acting was very well done. The cinematography was shot on with just a hint if cgi on a few parts(barely noticable). The story was simple and straight forward - pacing was causing a problem and a rogue grizzly was out in the woods killing pretty much everything it came across(including people) and some folks stuck out there had to survive. Plenty of intensity that isn't overwhelmed by the people's back story. Not a big budget flick but definitely a good one! Worth a watch!
