If you are interested in Christian pre-dystopian , this series might work .

What does real winter do to survivalism? How does the lack of faith and blind followers of unconstitutional order fare against a godly leader and force?

Book Five of the Righteous Survival EMP Saga will explore these sorts of question - the back cover promises as much.

But more important is the exploration the reader is invited to make of their own faith and life.

An excellent read and a great series.

An amazing series!

I hope to see much more from this author. Very refreshing to read. I can't wait for book 6. The message of hope and love comes through very clearly. In today's world I wonder if there are enough righteous people to pull America though the end of the world happening? Maybe with God's love and guidance.
