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.

Glen Tate has led an amazing life - and one that took a surprising turn. He grew up poor in the rural logging town of Forks, Washington. He worked hard to become a successful professional with a job in the political arena. Thinking he'd finally made it and everything was great, he was stunned to see how corrupt government is. From his observations at his job, he realized that America is collapsing and bad things are coming. Very soon. He began to prepare for him and his family to make it through the civil unrest of the coming collapse. That meant he had to return to his rural roots - quite a shock to his family and friends. Even more amazing was that he wrote down what he foresees happening during the collapse and it became a ten-book novel series published by Prepper Press.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book 6 does not disappoint

A great read. The writing style has improved, and the plot of a gradual partial societal collapse continues to unfold. A good amount of character development for lesser and new characters, as well as for Grant and Wes. If you enjoyed the previous books you will enjoy his one. If you are a Delta Bravo Lima, you will not.

As a genetic cheapskate I wish the price were lower, I'd rather get $5 of paperback and $5 of wheat berries than $10 of ebook, but that's the point of Capitalism. If it's not worth it to you then you won't buy it and the author will starve. There's lots of cool stuff I don't buy because the products perceived value is not worth the cost to me. However, I don't write reviews about products I haven't bought or had experience with.

And I would add, if you didn't like the previous books, why on earth would you spend $10 on another one in the series just to give it a bad review? And if you -=LOVED=- the previous books as some claim, why would you give this book a 1 star rating due to a similar price for the other books without reading it? I have horses, so I know horse cr@p when I step in it. Some of the negative reviews I read about this 6th book in the series were from morons who obviously did not read the book and either are libertards who are offended with the premise (they would be "Loyalists" in the book), or they are not really offended but feel they are *entitled* to a lower price (in which case, they would be "Undecideds" in the book). Either way, those reviews have as much value as used toilet paper. Now if you actually have read it cover to cover and truly do not feel the authors writing style has improved or whatever, then fine, explain why you don't like it and I'll respect your opinion while politely disagreeing with you. Tell Amazon, get your money back, and if you're a real Delta Bravo Lima, (hint: the Bravo stands for "Bag" and the Delta does NOT stand for "Dirt"), feel proud that you cheated your way into something for free while you wait to do the same thing with the 7th book. It's pinpricks like you that drive the price up for honest people. Personally, I could not put my Kindle reader down and enjoyed every page - easily less than $1/hr of read time, and in my ledger $1/hr is a great entertainment value! My only complaint is that I will have to wait many months or longer before the next book is available. ;-{>

I have read and enjoyed all six of the available books in the 299-Days series. I think the author has created a very realistic scenario of what could come to pass and I am looking forward to the next four books. Keep in mind that this is just fiction and, as with all novels, there are dull moments to wade through. The characters, though, are generally likeable and believable.

This sixth book develops some of the characters more fully and adds a lot of detail. It also reveals the formation of the 17th Irregulars and lays the foundation for serious confrontation between the Loyalist and the Patriot forces. I don't particularly like 'cliff-hanger' endings, though, and this book certainly has one. How long will we have to wait to find out what happens to our friends in Pierce Point?

I wish this 10-book series could be rewritten and condensed into one novel -- maybe something about the length of David Crawford's 'Lights Out.' As it is, the individual books are coming out too far apart. It's easy to forget the details of the earlier books and even easier to forget some of the characters. Maybe a glossary consisting of a 'list of characters' would help in remembering characters introduced in previous books. It would only add a page or two to the length of the books.

I would like to see more on how the states that broke away from the union fared. Our country is so divided that secession may be the only answer to avoiding civil war or some type of armed conflict. Frankly, I don't look forward to living in the 'dystopia' that modern-day liberals seem hell-bent on forcing upon the citizens of this country. Let's get this out in the open and develop it further.

I am enjoying this series on two levels. I'm reading these books as both a fiction and a non-fiction series.

I try to internalize all the things Grant Matson (the main character) does to prepare for the upcoming economic collapse, the challenges he faces during the collapse, how to build community as the collapse widens and the hard decisions that have to be made after the collapse. It is way of learning the skills of prepping in an entertaining way. The author teaches as he tells his story. That's the non-fiction component to the series that I enjoy and I would actually give that portion a 5 star rating.

Some reviewers complain that the story moves slowly but I find that the day-to-day struggles and realities are an important part of what the author is trying to convey. I find the author's/main characters reasoning behind the decisions they make to be sound. What to do with mentally ill people who no longer have access to their medications? What to do with refugees? Dealing with trouble-makers or "sponges". Etc, etc.

The fiction portion is entertaining and has kept me hooked. I just struggle occasionally with the writing technique. Glen Tate is not a trained author (and doesn't claim to be) and the writing gaffs he makes can be frustrating to me, as a reader. Sometimes I have to reread a sentence 4 or 5 times to understand the meaning because it is poorly formatted. When he is telling the story of Pierce Point (where 85% of the story takes place), he CONSTANTLY switches point of view and I get lost - trying to figure whose eyes I'm seeing the story through at the moment. This is where the story loses stars from me.

That being said, I do enjoy seeing the story unfold in the eyes of people who are not with Grant at his "bug-out" location. What is happening back in Olympia or Seattle or Forks or Prosser Farm or Camp Murray/Fort Lewis? How the people in these locations are coping and surviving and viewing the events.

Can't wait for book 7! (and 8, 9, and 10) Keep 'em coming!
