Publisher Description
In some ways, post-Collapse life at Pierce Point resembles the every day normalcy that Grant and others still hoped would return. The community is organized and humming along smoothly, the young guys on the Team are partnering off with local "Team Chicks," and Grant's daughter has found a boyfriend. For most, the new reality has been accepted and a calm, self-sustaining groove is setting in. For others, though, life is far from normal. Special Forces Ted returns with an offer that cannot be refused. In the blink of an eye, Grant Matson has another title he can add to father-of-the-year and prepper-in-chief: Lieutenant Grant Matson, Commander of the 17th Irregulars. Grant and the Team are whisked away to Marion Farm, where they will train civilians and be trained to become a special squad in a Special Forces guerrilla group. The slower, simple life at Pierce Point is about to disappear to make way for a community that is well-trained and battle-ready, posed to fight the Loyalist opposition. This cannot happen fast enough, though. Gangs are growing steadily and the government is becoming a bigger threat to freedom and the nation. Violence is turning into an everyday occurrence outside of Pierce Point and it is only a matter of time before the peaceful community will need to protect itself from external dangers. Grant feels the weight on his shoulders as he now needs to protect not just his family, but the entire community, and possibly, all of Washington State.

We get it
This is the 5th book in the series but we’re still getting explained the exact same things in every chapter over and over and over. WE GET IT! You explained it in the 1st book, the 2nd book, the 3rd book and the 4th book. I’m sure you’ll explain it in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th book too. I don’t care why they do press checks (which if you did it in the morning you wouldn’t have to do it the rest of the day, why induce a malfunction from a hasty press check), don’t care to be told about their raven concealment holsters for the 1 millionth time, we get people have normalcy bias, don’t need to know why. Yep, “The Team” trained together. Got that from the first book. We get they claim to not be mall ninjas, you told us that 1,000 times, but the more you say it the more it feels they are. These books have gotten so redundant that I literally just skip to the dialogue. I don’t read the filler, because that what it is a bunch of paragraphs to fill a page to end the chapter and hit the required number of pages.
It keeps getting better!
This comic take on preparedness series get more laughable with each installment. In this farce a special forces soldier, with one would assume many contacts within the elite military ranks, needs someone to train insurgents. Who does he turn to? That’s right our moronic beta male Grant. Who better for the job than a middle aged crybaby with no military experience? Grant reverts to his usual incompetent but humorous attempts to awe people with his hillbilly slippers and tactical pants. A laugh a minute.
