Obliterated - Would You Know How to Survive? C J Hall

Publisher Marketing: Albuquerque, New Mexico, is under attack from the air, and the last broadcast Kim hears tells her even larger cities are being obliterated. Dodging the devastation, she races to join her partner Ray in the mountains to the east. They have only minutes to grab what they need and "get out of Dodge." Friends join the struggle to hide and survive but, to stay safe, the small group must piece together clues about why and how the world around them is being systematically destroyed. All will face unexpected moral dilemmas. Ray's daughter faces other perils as she and her boyfriend undertake a cross-country trip from Florida to join Kim and Ray in the Pecos Wilderness. This is not a hand-to-hand combat, weapons-heavy novel. It is the story of ordinary people using real-life skills in the backcountry as mysterious attacks begin to wipe out most of the world's population. They must calm their panic to think clearly about immediate survival needs, places of safety, and preparing for long-term survival. Preparedness and survival knowledge are woven into this action-adventure novel. Would you know what to take if you had minutes to escape an "end of the world as we know it" crisis or a natural disaster? Do you have a "bug-out bag?" Would basic wilderness skills allow you to survive away from urban comforts? A sequel will be released in early 2013. Contributor Bio:  Hall, C J Natural disasters occurring around the world led C. J. Hall to think in detail about what she would do if she suddenly had to evacuate her home. Those musings led her to write her first novel, "Obliterated - Would You Know How to Survive?" This is the third book in the Obliterated series. It continues the story of the small band of survivors who left the Pecos Wilderness to escape the worst consequences of a reshaping planet. As with the first two books, there is real-life, common-sense survival information woven into the storyline. Hall says: "I have tried to become educated over my lifetime about how to be self-reliant if the need arises. Living and camping in Montana for 10 years certainly supplied some hands-on experience. I want to make readers think through their own situations to create emergency kits and learn skills that would serve their individual needs. And, of course, I hope the novels are entertaining and thought-provoking purely as a works of fiction."
