The Johnstone’s wrote this again and thought the plot has a great overall feel to this novel. The characters were everything that I was looking for and thought the overall feel worked with the writing style and the genre.

This is not a western even though some of the justice doled out is close to it. Not My Home by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is an interesting and frightening story about a community take over and how sensitive some people have become. I would even stretch it as far as saying that the separation between rural and city folks is getting bigger. I found the concept for this book interesting but it is not as sharp as other previously written by these guys. Still it's a good story and I thank Pinnacle Kensington books and Netgalley for letting me read this advance copy.

First, Most will either love this book or hate it.
The drive of altering communities has been horribly accepted throughout my state of Florida. The actual history, heritage and culture has been largely lost due to the activities of the bad-guys - the realtor, road builders and developers. Of course, including politicians of all sides.

Y'see, dislodge the people from the history of Florida, it's structures, natural areas, etc. and they won't defend all of that being bulldozed for "progress".
Money to be made and all.
Thus, Florida has, essentially been destroyed from within by those from outside.

This book is an exaggerated, melodramatic, condensed version of what has happened to Florida and many other parts of the U.S. As these non-western Johnstone Clan books of invasion of one sort or other lean to silly nonsense, the underlying message should be listened to.

The book starts off slowly and logically. As with others, in this non-named Johnstone Clan series of a couple decades, by 250 pages, the book flies off into the outrageous and gets worse. Thing is, we have seen such activity in our country. Just spread out over the last few years. Sadly, if one considers what has actually occurred in the U.S., there is realism in what reads as near-impossible. Yet, Americans are made to ignore as the Media changes the narrative and then scuttles the stories into oblivion and then act as if nothing happened. The constant swirl of the Social Media mess covers the Media's intent.

All of this explains the dismal choice Americans have currently for president of the U.S. The Media wants nasty conflict, forces two bad candidates to have Americans to attack each other of the two and the Media makes the $ they intend. This book is not specific, but spreads this issue throughout very well. I'm in politics and can attest to some of what is presented.

About the construction of the book. The writing is edge of seat stuff. Some of the best of this series. Most all of the series reach really crazy levels. This one gets close to that, but then takes the easy way out and drops a hurricane into the narrative. The writer(s) clearly know little of hurricans or tropical storms. The writing of this is so poor, it's a wonder why it was included beyond being a lazy device to solve part of the problem presented.

Something else not understood are how municipalities, counties, states and the Federal government work involving what occurs. Well, used to act. As mentioned, the effort to cover up the disintegration of communities has these governments often shuffling to avoid getting in the way of chaos.

Though there are badly written parts of this book, the over all volume is worth reading and I'm not sure if there are any other book covering this issue as this one does.

Bottom line: I recommend this book. 6 out of 10 points.
