I've followed this forum as a lurker for several years, killing time on my lunch break. I wanted to mention my book that I've just released on Amazon. It's available in ebook and paperback. It's called The Borrowed World .
I state in the preface to the novel that it's not a tutorial on building the perfect bug out bag or how to prep. This forum and others like it do a better job of helping people figure those things out. The book is more about taking what you know and shaping it to how you live so that you are better able to control your outcome.
Here's the synopsis:
I had to drive a lot at one point in my career and attend a lot of meetings several hundred miles from home. It was during the 9/11 period, Katrina, and the DC Sniper attacks. People were ultra-paranoid. I spent a lot of my drive time thinking about how I'd get home if I had to hoof it. So it's not a story about some super-prepared guy with an AR broke down in his briefcase. It's about a regular guy who reads forums, preps, and has to get home to his family when an infrastructure attack sends everything spinning out of control.
Hope you'll give it a look. Appreciate your time.

Here's the synopsis:
In a night of devastating terror, ISIS operatives have unleashed a coordinated attack on America’s infrastructure. Life as we know it in America grinds to a halt as the electrical grid collapses, communication networks are damaged, critical bridges and dams are destroyed, and major fuel refineries go up in massive fiery clouds. When the government responds by immediately halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament – trapped five hundred miles from home with a group of coworkers.
With thousands of trapped travelers and scarce law enforcement, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of civilized society no longer apply. As Jim puts his years of preparation and planning to the test, he is forced to ask himself if he has what it takes to make it home. Does he have the strength -- the brutality -- required to meet this new world toe-to-toe?
