He was already groping for the tourniquet on his belt as he rolled from the icy steel decking. He plunged into the dark, icy water with a heart-seizing abruptness. In his multifaceted career, Boss had taken the Army’s Combat Water Survival Training. He’d also taken cold weather training with the Norwegian Army, which had required jumping through a hole cut in a frozen lake. Unfortunately, none of the techniques he’d learned in those trainings would help him at this very moment. He would die quickly unless he stemmed the free flow of blood from his wrist. At his back, he tugged at an orange

So was he getting a tourniquet from his belt or his back????
Despite the turmoil beneath them, there were no weather conditions complicating the operation, other than the freezing weather.
What about the gusts of wind earlier???
in
On, not in. How do you 'sit in a floor' ?
By nature Jim was private and antisocial. He didn’t like being around groups of people. He closely guarded his privacy. He didn’t like people dropping in on him. He didn't like talking on the phone.
At least now I know I ain't the only one who feels that way (and yes I know this is a fiction book!!! LOL)
The clutter and congestion in the house was something the family could tolerate if it was just them. With twenty more guests thrown into the mix, it was too tight.
He has 26 people living in his house???? Wow!!!!!
“It reminds me of the pictures you see of what the Woodstock festival looked like after all the people left,” Sara said.
Really???? Gun shots and broken/boarded up windows at Woostock!!!!! LOL
He checked his rifle and confirmed there was a round in the chamber. Jim made him carry one of those fancy AR-15s because of the capacity and range but he’d have been much more comfortable with a double-barrel shotgun, a traditional hillbilly weapon. These fancy black guns were too complicated. Too many moving knobs and moving parts. After finally remembering how to pull back the charging handle and confirm the glint of brass, Lloyd slumped back against the thick poplar logs that made up the back wall.
The first sentence of the first paragraph should be the second sentence of the second paragraph. Otherwise it makes no sense!!!!
“I would pick my family up and move right now if I had a way to do so. We can’t take all our supplies though, and we can’t just wander around. Being nomadic is not sustainable.”
What about the secret cave back behind Observation Point?
“I want to blame Fred Wimmer but the others have suggested that they could have found out any number of ways. There are people out there who know where our house is. Hell, they could have talked to the UPS man or something. We’ll never know.”
I bet it was the sherriff!!! Edited: I was wrong!!!
He had indeed. The whole mission to destroy the power plant hadn’t been necessary. It was revenge for the government stealing power from local people. It was a statement
No, it was also because The Boss killed 7-8 men who were trying to get power to the town!!!! But nobody seems to remember that part!!!!
They were heading to the chopper to retrieve Scott’s gift when Jim’s radio chirped. He halted to retrieve it while the rest of the men continued to the chopper. “This is Jim. Can you repeat that?” “Get back here, man,” Lloyd implored. “Something is happening.” More terrifying than the news was the tone of Lloyd’s voice. He was in a state of sheer panic.
See location 3302/ It says that Lloyd is with Jim !!!!!!
“Ellen, it’s Lloyd. What’s going on?” “Did you hear what I told Will?” “No. He was talking on the radio and then he threw it down and ran off.” “One of the children was taken. One of his nieces. I’ve got everyone else headed to the cave.”
But Lloyd radioed Jim to get back because something was happening. See location 3261.
