Damned good read. Spoiler alert.This one starts with Grant Walker finally making it home and finding Leah his wife. Right now Oliver a nerdy geeky neighbor and friend is at his front door.The Community he lives in isn't on his side about anything. He and Leah have guns, ammo and food. Grant has a run in with Greg his biggest detractor. A blow hard who wants to be in charge. A Grant who couldn't care less who's in charge. He has and will go his own way.Leah is a nurse and is of the mindset that she has to help her neighbors. The first person she runs into is Greg. A Greg who quickly informs her he doesn't need her help so Leah goes on her way. Some of the houses are empty and no one really wants to speak with her. That's when she spots Greg's two boys trying to steal a propane tank from Susie another neighbor. Leah is armed with an air rifle and gets the tank back. She tells Grant what happened. Grant isn't surprised one bit and is fast coming to the conclusion that his neighbors are sheep easily swayed by the belligerent Greg.That night someone sets the pick up that Leah drove home on fire. Its one of the few working vehicle they have and Grant knows right away who set it on fire. Greg.Dan is another neighbor and this guy is a friend. He, Leah, Susie, Oliver and Grant attend a meeting to which they hadn't been invited. A man named Will is in charge. He's telling everyone to make a list of what provisions they have and they will all be collected at the meeting house so all can share. Leah asks questions and doesn't get very good answers. She is fast becoming aware that her neighbors are sheep just waiting for someone to tell them what to do. No way will Grant or Leah give up what they have to anyone.Once home Grant tells his friends and Leah that he thinks its time for them to leave. None of them want to leave. Leah is still convinced she can help and Susie says she has a garden and Grant tells her she won't be able to keep anything. Everything will be given over to the community.Grant finally gets his way and he and Dan head out to find working vehicles at a used car lot about twenty minutes away. While they are gone Greg comes to the door and demand Leah open up so they can inspect and take everything. Leah talks him into waiting a half hour. Thirty minutes later Greg and his three men come back only to be interrupted by the arrival of a huge truck and six men. Men who want every gun in the community and anything else they can take.So begins one damned fine read.This one has Grant, Leah, Dan, Susie, Greg, a Greg who will be killed, the masked raiders, a Grant and Dan who get back just in time, four dead raiders, a Grant who now has a truck, a Grant and his crew who load up, one of the neighbors who asks Grant who is going to defend them all now, a Grant who tells him he couldn't care less but it isn't going to be him, Grant and the others who pull out with the pick up and a car loaded with all their supplies and gear, the group that stops at a motel in Marietta and Grant who is ex Army using every skill he has to protect those with him to, stay alive and survive and a Leah who finds out she's a survivor.
