Third in the series. Survival is more than escape. Surviving is what happens after escape. A survivor must stay alive by any means necessary in a world without money, power companies, grocery stores, televisions, cell phones, police or gasoline stations. And, most important, in a new world without the rule of law. Do what you must, when you must and trust only if you must. The strong may survive, but the weak shall die. Until he discovered the world was coming to an end, John Thompson was a spy. He spied on the Chinese working at Bug City where they genetically engineered and mistakenly released a horrible virus which killed nine out of ten. John went to his bug out location in the US while collecting his bug out bags and then his bug out people. Only then could he begin prepping -- and changing. Ming Cho also had to change. The others only had to survive the people trying to kill them and the people trying to steal their food. The worst problem was surviving the depression and desolation of The End of the World as we know it.
