[Old Sarge]

I always snicker at the affectation of that name: James Wesley COMMA Rawles.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

That and the book itself wasn't that great -- the ideas were sound, the story had merit, but the grammar and writing were atrocious!

comma Rawles' characters spend far too much time on tactical, stealthy, radio-silence type patrols across their little spread. The truth is in a SHTF scenario, combat will comprise a small/non-existant part of daily life, especially in the middle of nowhere.

Tom Sherry's 'Deep Winter' series is far more to my liking. The writing is better and the characters and story are more believeable.
