About this ebook
The End was just the beginning of the new world…
Only six weeks have passed since a super-EMP attack devastated the United States, but already, life has changed dramatically. Most of America has become a wasteland filled with starving bands of people, mobs and gangs. Millions are dead and millions more are suffering, with no end in sight.
For Gordon, Samantha, Sebastian, Cruz and Barone, the turmoil and chaos they dealt with in the early weeks after the attack will seem trivial in comparison to the collapse of society that plays out before their eyes. Uncertainty abounds as they all travel different paths in search of a safe place to call home. The only thing that is definite is that The Long Road will take its toll on all of them.
For readers of Going Home by A. American, Lights Out by David Crawford, Lucifer’s Hammer by Jerry Pournelle and One Second After by William Forstchen

If you're into heroic stories with happy, triumphant, unrealistic endings, this is not the book for you. But if you enjoy experiencing harrowing tales of suspense, emotion, and true to life circumstances, look no further. This ride will leave you feeling a little more conscious of the possibilities we face in the world today. Save for some editing flaws, and an ending that tends to leave you just as lost and unsure of what to do next, as the characters within.

Some strange and overly torturous plot points and too many obvious "filler" content (I need 500 more words ill take this half page and turn it into 3 pages...). But with some more nuance, polish and experience this could have been better.
