A view of the coming financial and social collapse as seen from the lunatic fringe. The characters hold such main line opinions as the federal government has no jurisdiction in the states and driver's licenses are only legally required for commercial drivers. All of the positively positioned characters are devout christians...even the jewish ones.Anyone associated with the government, including the police, are portrayed as evil and incompetent.The main characters although described as middle class, were able to accumulate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and supplies before the crash. One couple was able to walk from Chicago to Idaho apparently carrying several hundred pounds of guns, ammunition and food.Certainly among the top 10 worst written books.
