Book Overview
A man fights to protect his family in this postapocalyptic survival novel--the first in the New World series. Young Gordon Van Zandt valued duty and loyalty to country above all, so after 9/11, he dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps. This idealism vanished one fateful day in a war-torn city in Iraq. Ten years later, he is still struggling with the ghosts of his past when a new reality is thrust upon him and his family: North America, Europe and the Far East have all suffered a devastating Super-EMP attack, which causes catastrophic damage to the nation's power grid and essential infrastructures. Everything from cell phones to cars to computers cease to function, putting society at a standstill. With civilization in chaos, Gordon must fight for the limited and fast dwindling resources. He knows survival requires action and cooperation with his neighbors, but as the days wear on, so does all sense of civility within his community--and so he must make some of the most difficult decisions of his life in order to ensure his family's safety.

The End is a remarkable, albeit chilling and suspenseful, experience of a read.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 7 years ago
G. Michael Hopf has masterfully put together The New World Series that completely leaves you wanting more after each book.
The series starts with “The End” and literary, from the first page of reading, I found it extremely hard to put down. The writing is impeccable and well as spot on. All technicalities are accounted for, so much so that, the read seems incredibly REAL.
This book, as well as the entire series, will leave you rethinking your way of life as we know it. The “could it happen” factor is very real, with all things considered. The characters, raw emotions, believability, angst, resourcefulness, and realism cut through the read like a knife through butter.
Do yourself a favor and dive into a world that could very well happen in this day in age.
