G. Michael Hopf’s EMP series is one of the best EMP series I have read. I enjoyed every book in the series. The struggles were well told and thought out from a real world view. What would we do in a case like that?

Truly enjoyed this whole series. Haven’t read another that I liked as well.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy for review purposes. All opinions are mine alone.

I wanted to love this book, but there was something about it that felt wrong?
It was fast paced and high energy and action, but the characters didn't seem to gel?
Well written and interesting from the first page to the end.

I really wanted to like this book, however, I just could not get over the writing style. It just was not for me. I requested this book from Netgalley and received it a few years ago. This review is very late, but since I am getting back into the swing of things I wanted to review this book that I finished a few years ago.

I found the premise really intriguing and wanted to delve deeper into this story. An EMP attack on major countries and dealing with the aftermath of that is something that although may sound far-fetched, is something that scares a lot of people.

This is where I started and stopped loving it, however. The hardest thing for me to get over was the characters and their dialogue. It was incredibly unrealistic, and 'perfect' and I found myself wishing for this book to be over, not because I couldn't wait to get to 'The End', but because I just could not understand some of the situations the characters were in; they were over reacting, senseless murder, and ridiculous dialogue. And the dialogue... I could not get over it. It was so stilted and uncomfortable.
