The Wayward Journey- Book Review
The Wayward Journey- Book Review
If you like prepper fiction, you will absolutely love “The Wayward Journey”. Author Nathan Jefferson Hale has written a post apocalyptic thriller that won’t let you put the book down. Nathan Hale Jefferson has also proven that an author doesn’t have to use a lot of vulgar and filthy language to write a great dystopian novel. I saw very little profanity, no F-bombs and he never used God’s holy name as a swear word. The story follows the protagonist, John, as he fights to get home to his family after a major earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The earthquake also triggers an economic collapse that was just waiting for a catalyst.
Resource scarcity exacerbates the problems caused by the economy and the earthquake. Oil and food prices were already at levels making normal life difficult for those on the lower rungs of the ladder. The book portrays a very realistic look at how disasters like this can bring out the best and the worst of society.
We see how the mind of a predator thrives in an environment where there are no checks, and we see how easily people are taken in by those that mean them harm when they don’t know where to turn for security and stability.
