Vermiform made this suggestion in another thread:
"We need a prepper fiction thread where we can recommend books."
So I figured I would run with it. He (or she, sorry I don't know Vermiform that well) first suggested the series titled "299 Days", by Glen Tate. I've heard of this book about two months ago, but just didn't get a chance to order it yet. The story line sounds pretty interesting.
Here's a quick blurb from the official book site:
The 299 Days series, published by Prepper Press and written by Glen Tate, is a ten-book novel about the collapse of the United States. In it, the main character, Grant Matson, has a job that allows him to see what’s wrong with government. He realizes he needs to prepare for what’s coming and he does so. His wife, Lisa, is reluctant to prepare because she thinks things are just fine. When the civil unrest and political collapse hit in a dramatic way, it is undeniable that they need to leave their Olympia, Washington home and head to their cabin. But, Lisa is still reluctant; she desperately wants things to remain *normal.*
I'm currently reading "Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse", by James Wesley, Rawles (apparently the author likes the comma between his middle and last name. From www.thedailybeast.com: The internal comma is intentional; according to Rawles, an admitted *student of common law,* it’s what he calls a minor affection that distinguishes between his first names, which belong to him, and his family, which *owns* the surname.
So there you go. Two books to get you started off with if you haven't read them yet. What would you recommend for others to read? What you you recommend not wasting time reading?
