Twenty-One Days: The Long Haul
Book Three of The Days Series. The Reckoning had passed, but the loss of life and destruction left in its wake defied imagination. Not in JT Clarke's wildest dreams could he have foreseen the speed at which society consumed itself. The little village of Somerset, once a quaint rural community, lay in utter ruins, uninhabitable after the final thread of morality wore thin and snapped.
JT's home, the ranch, was spared the worst when the village collapsed simply because of geography. Six miles north had been just enough distance to insulate the group from the tentacles of disaster the night of the ice storm. Yet, the group had suffered in ways just as harrowing. JT himself had been shot by a ragtag mix of men put together by a crazed neighbor holding a grudge. Had it not been for D'Vante’s blood, along with Joni and Sarah’s skilled hands, he would have died.
D'Vante's death shattered the group's spirit like a freight train derailment, and it took everything JT had in him to send D'Vante off on his last flight—its destination—Valhalla. That night, the group saw a side of JT they never knew existed. Out of pure rage, he had lashed out viciously in unrelenting vengeance against D’s killers.
Each new day in their discombobulated world brought challenges and tribulations from every angle. At times, they seemed insurmountable, yet JT Clarke and the group centered around the ranch found ways to cope with the reality of what their world had become.
Now, as they settled in for the Long Haul and the unpredictability of northern Wisconsin in late October, a burning question lingered in their minds.
Could it possibly get any worse?

This is one excellent book!
Once again Joe brings another book to life through his storytelling! With each book he writes, he gets better and better! This one brings in a ton of raw emotion!
The characters just get more refined with each chapter. The new additions add a diverse variety to the group.
If you haven't read any of Joe's books, do yourself a favor and start one soon.

The third and final book
In this apocalyptic trilogy brought the story to an end and I found I didn’t want it to end! The characters became people I knew and although there was a lot of violent encounters this story was definitely worth the read. It’s eerie that it is similar to what’s happening today but was written before any of today’s headlines. I would read anything that this author wrote and unfortunately I only have one more book left that he’s written!

Hold on to your seats !!!!
This book is a wild ride of emotions. One minute I'm holding my breath, the next I'm laughing and then I'm crying . The scenario is so realistic and I found myself completely wrapped up in the story line. An emotional Rollercoaster for sure. This is a book that I will definitely go back and read again.

Thank you, Joseph Nirmaier. Excellent read.
Carve out some time, Dear Readers, to take in this fine work.
This book will call you to completion at all hours until done.
Well researched, believable and inspiring. A tale of how family, friends, (both new and of the lifelong variety) and simple faith will carry you through the end of societal collapse.
Well done, thank you.

Series
I don't leave comments on books that I read but I have to say this series was the best that I've read in a long time. I cried at the loses of loved one in the books. I can only imagine what would happen to us all if something like came true. In our world today who knows what or who will be our downfall. Preppers keep on prepping cause I know we will.

The long haul
When I first started to read it, I thought maybe it was,a part of a,series and I missed a book or two. There was a lot of characters,but it was hard to follow and to know who was who. Usually I enjoy books a nuclear disasters and people trying to succeed and starting over but,this story was different.

excellent series
This trilogy is definitely one of the best disaster books I’ve ever read. It’s fast paced and very realistic regarding how fast society would breakdown in a disaster the magnitude described in the story line. I’d love to see a sequel that describes the next six months to a year.

Exceptional Story
Real characters that made me feel like a part of the story. So well written and real. I am an avid reader of this genre, this is by far the best I have read. I hope you will read this story. If the end of the world ever happens, I hope I will find people like these to survive with.

Excellent
Third book. Unfortunately, knowing how fast our world could fall apart is pretty scary but also a very probable scenario.
