Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse is a thinking man''s
action-adventure novel set in the near future, as America is torn
by a full scale socio-economic collapse. Todd Gray, an accountant,
and his wife Mary, a nurse, live on a ranch in northern Idaho that
was established several years before, as a safe haven for a select
group of friends, most of whom live in Chicago. When the stock
market collapses and hyperinflation sets in, civilization falls
apart practically overnight. Wholesale rioting and looting grip
every major city. Communication, commerce, transportation, and law
enforcement disappear. Hordes of refugees and looters pour out of
the cities and into the countryside. Its the end of the world as we
know it. The novel is an highly unusual blend of fiction and fact.
While and exciting read, it is essentially a survival manual
dressed as fiction. Most readers find themselves taking notes, as
they read it. It is so packed with useful survival information that
it even has a glossary and an index.
