Publisher's summary

EMP: Equipping Modern Patriots is a harrowing story of survival after the destruction of the electric grid and nearly every electronic device in the country. Jonathan Hollerman paints a vivid and disturbing picture of society falling apart after an Electromagnetic Pulse attack against our nation.

Can you imagine a world with no phones, no TV, no internet, and no way to access your bank account? Without the electric grid, there would be no lights, no heating or air conditioning in your home, no public water, and the sewer could back up into your home. Without modern vehicles or interstate trucking, the supermarkets would quickly run out of food. Since the majority of the military is not hardened against an EMP, they would be unable to come to the aid of its citizens and maintain order. Our humanity is questioned when survival of the fittest becomes reality.

This is not only a thrilling story but offers practical, life-saving advice for an imminent threat. If you enjoyed Patriots by James Wesley Rawles or One Second After by William Forstchen, then you will enjoy this story of survival.

Stick with it

I had to come back and edit my review. The first one is ok ( I like this type of dystopian future book). I originally gave it a lower rating, but after listening to book 2 and three needed to change it. It's an amazing series, I honestly think the issue with book 1 was the reader. The change of reader in 2 and 3 changed everything. It's a really good series with interesting characters. give it a go .

Enjoyed This!

So the reader lacks...smooth performance in his conversational ready, but the story? 5 out of 5. I seriously appreciate how the author takes into account how human nature works.

Great Book - Where's Book Two?

I had to buy this book, the second in the series, in the kindle format because it's not out in audio. I have diabetes and it has played havoc with my vision. They're too many days that I can not read now. Audiobooks have somewhat filled the gap in restlessness that is plaguing me, a book addict, during blurred vision periods.

This book was so good that I purchased the second book in Kindle format, just to see what happened next. On my tablet I am able to darken and enlarge the type. It took me most of the night to read the second book, but it was even better than the first. If you enjoy this genre, Jonathan Hollerman is a new author and he's well worth reading. He's good and only getting better! So is his EMP series!

Darn! I suppose I have to wait until next year for the third book to come out!

EMP: Engaged, Motivated, Preparing

Truthfully, this story isn’t for everyone. If you think something couldn’t happen like this , don’t make fun of it by reading it. Just be forewarned, it does have some information woven into the story that may be useful to some. I’m not being a “chicken little” be-crying that the sky is falling. Being prepared had been a motto of our forefathers as well as the Boy Scouts from times past. So you spend a little time or money preparing for that “ what if”. It’s a peace of mind that you can rest easier at or pass your preparedness in to your children. Someone might one day think you are a genius. The story is both informative and enjoyable with a touch of soberness. Again I’ll say it’s not for everyone because I can hear it now, “ this is crazy. It’ll never happen”. Just shut up and enjoy the storyline. Lol

Ok

Would you recommend EMP: Equipping Modern Patriots to your friends? Why or why not?

It's no "Light's Out" or "One Second After", but it's ok if you enjoy the genre, Most of the characters are not memorable. Actually, in this book I liked the Army guys better than characters returning from the previous book.

Do you think EMP: Equipping Modern Patriots needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes. This was obviously written as a series. At least the author ends his books at a natural stopping point.

Any additional comments?

This series is ok so far. Seems to be fairly well written and the story is interesting. The problem with the audio books is the narrators. The try too hard. Different random accent for each character. I really don't think the Thurston Howell the 3rd, British, Southern, etc. accents are prevalent in NW Pennsylvania.
