The End

By G. Michael Hopf

Book Overview

For Gordon Van Zandt life once was one of duty and loyalty to his country, so when 9/11 happened he dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps. This youthful 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 but must now face a new reality thrust on him and his family. North America, Europe and the Far East have all suffered a devastating Super-EMP attack that has caused catastrophic damage to the power grids and all electrical devices. With nothing working from cars to phones and with the total collapse of the economic infrastructure, Gordon must fight for the limited and fast dwindling resources. He knows survival requires action and cooperation with his neighbors; but as daily life continues to break down so does all sense of civility within his community. With each passing day Gordon makes choices that would seem extreme in today's world but necessary in this new world.

Customer Reviews

The End is a remarkable, albeit chilling and suspenseful, experience of a read.

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.
