Eli, In Times Like These

by Carolyn Davidson Hicks

2nd Edition Professor Elijah Collins, p.h.D takes his college students for a short stay at his cabin in the mountains for some hands-on classwork for extra credit. A storm of the century puts a damper on things, but the worst is yet to come. Eli's neighbor is a serious prepper and Author Jeremiah Johnston otherwise known as Frog, an X Seal team member in retirement. Together they join forces to save what's left after an earthquake takes a toll on life and leaves millions without food or shelter. Follow Eli and Frog's adventures as they strive to save as many as they can, and assure that life, one day, will return to normal. These words still rang in Eli's head of the last book his friend wrote, warned, "The sirens sounded for the last time. All citizens stood, and not a word was spoken as each, and every single human being and beast alike, turned their eyes toward the heavens. Daylight or dark, from around the world, they waited. The skies darkened and then burst into a bloody red as if it were bleeding! Standing petrified in silence, they watched as all hope vanished across the lands. A vast world was now burning, and the searing heat consumed every living thing in seconds. The End." But this was in fact not the end, but only the beginning of the end.

Eli is a teacher and a man who sees reality and knows that bad times are destined to hit. When they do, he is prepared with a cabin far off the beaten path. His students and then his wife join him as times change and become a struggle of survival of the fittest. These is the first book I have read by the author. I loved it and was pleased to see she has authored about thirty books so I will gladly be able to jump into her other tales.
