Survival Fiction E-books and how to get them (brief synopsis and review)

In light of recent interest and requests for summer reading ideas I’ve gathered the following information. I apologize for any errors in spelling names and such. Please add any more you feel others would enjoy!

Avalon – by LMichael Rusin emailhexed666@gmail.com mention you are a member of a survival forum (he’s a forum member too) and get the ebook for only $10. A great read! Lots of information. An attack on America starts with small nukes in major cities and it follows the ensuing breakdown of society. The group the book follows is in northern CA. Good info on using materials that are found, working in a group and building a self sustaining group.

Lights Out! By Halffast – free e-book written by a survival forum member. http://survivalmonkey.com/Lights%20Out.htm
A good read about an EMP event and the residents of a Texas suburb. It covers not only the EMP effects (which are minimalized) and focuses on the breakdown of society and the building of a network of communities to survive. Lots of detailed info on survival strategies like gardening, water etc.

Patriots: Surviving the coming collapse. By James Rawles. http://www.amazon.com/Patriots-Survival-Coming-Collapse-ebook/dp/B00292B7WW
A good book by Survivorblog owner (http://survivalblog.com/) Rawles. It follows an economic crash and it’s resulting breakdown of society, with a band of Christian survivors. The group in in Utah. The group has been preparing for something to happen for years, and have a well oiled plan. Lots of good info on stocking up, weapons and surveillance techniques.

One Second After by William Forstchen. Available in many formats. http://www.amazon.com/One-Second-After-William-Forstchen/dp/0765317583
An EMP scenario taking place in North Carolina. It follows the event and the year that follows through the eyes of a man who lives in a small town and is a war history teacher. Lots of very good and scary info about the steps that will occur in such an event, with an eventual 90% die-off of the population.

Emergency (this book could save your life) by Niel Strauss. http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061826177/Emergency/index.aspx
A hilarious look at one mans journey to become a survivalist. While funny, it does contain some very good ideas, especially for a beginner or “city slicker”.

Garden Gold-by Holly Deyo, is a tremendous book on gardening. This is like the ultimate e-book on gardening packed with info on all aspects pertaining to gardening it's $12.00.

Dare to Prepare-by Holly Deyo, is another must-have book in your collections. This book packs a wallop in everything dealing with preparing for anything and everything, it has lists, info on canned food coding, building shelters, how to store, what to store, how to make things, pet preparedness, firearms, water treatment, generators, dehydrating foods, preparing for floods, tsunami's, hurricanes, earthquakes, nuclear war, the list goes on and on. This is a regular book not an e-book.

Also, another thing worthwhile checking into is books on herbs and spices and their multiple uses.

Personally, I'd rather not have e-books in the event the power goes out for an unspecified time how would I access them then. But then again you could always print the book out. I would like to have the book in hand and ready to go.

Aloha:)
