Isherwood has been in the woods, literally, for months without seeing another human being. After surviving a deadly rattlesnake bite, he decides to rejoin civilization. However, when he gets to town, he finds everyone dead from a plague. Somehow he has escaped this plague, but now his task is to survive the infrastructure failure. Although this book was written in 1949, it is an excellent story about a post-apocalyptic world. Once we survive the initial collapse of civilization, how do we rebuild? I love the strategies for "prepping" and the challenge of rebuilding a moral civilization.Thursday, October 2, 2014

Love the survival aspect of the book. This is a must read for anyone interested in survival and apocalypse. But mostly survival.
This Book is great for people who love survival books and also like reading about how civilization rebuilds itself after a devastating apocalypse. This book is a must read
Sounds like a good survival book.
