Summary
A complete three book EMP survival fiction boxed set for your end of the world enjoyment.

Hear about how they struggle to survive a harsh winter as their thoughts turn with dread toward the approaching Christmas holiday season. New people have joined the survival community and wild game has gotten very scarce now after over hunting has forced everyone to forage continuously further afield for sustenance.

Kayak Limbo
Summary
Lying down in a kayak to go under obstacles like a fallen tree across a creek is called "doing the kayak limbo". Our hero must access a secret saltwater canal by traveling through a bridge culvert in his kayak in order to go under a road to seek refuge from the violence of societal breakdown occurring all around him. It is said that if you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle. However, if you get stranded a thousand miles from home in the tourist section of Panama City Beach, Florida, by a solar storm without a car, asking strangers to help you survive or paddle is not much of an option. Far from home without a gun to defend himself with, Bob must find a way to get food and protect his possessions from would-be thieves in this post-apocalyptic world. Luckily, he has his fishing gear with him along with an inflatable kayak he brought on the airplane with him for recreation. Now his luggage has become his bug-out gear. Others want what he has, and he tries to flee the area to avoid them. Youth gangs take over the area where he resides. This audiobook will teach you a lot about survival crabbing as our displaced traveler practices the arts of being a master solo-kayak crabber to feed himself and other survivors in a grid-down world.

The Work of the Dead
Summary
This is a gripping, epic, prepper tale of suspenseful catastrophe, occasionally mixed with humorous survival, in the dystopia of a post-apocalyptic Deep South. It is a continuing, fast-paced, science-fiction fantasy that foresees the fall of America after a solar storm takes the electrical grid down. The story is set in the aftermath of a world in which famine leads to mass chaos. The federal government forms a new economy by issuing two new paper currencies: military script for the FEMA camps and the Amero for the city states backed by nothing more than promises. The individual possession of gold and silver coinage is now historically illegal once again, but for people living far from government camps, it's all the currency the Free Traders Guild uses, except for barter, as a means of monetary exchange. This post-apocalyptic, science-fiction anthology series brings in some of the beloved characters from the best-selling, classic, original Prepper Trilogy. A motley crew of diverse survivors and heroes living on lakes and rivers, drawn from other books from Ron Foster's years as an apocalyptic and dystopian-fiction writer, get a chance to all meet up at the yearly Trade Rendezvous. This mystery thriller begins in the heart of a crisis five years after the power grid goes down. This apocalyptic drama sets the stage and allows the listeners to hear several newly introduced characters interacting with their favorite old survivalist ones, as well as, a glimpse at their back stories of survival. After barely surviving the first economic collapse in the country, the Free Traders Guild established a bank and backed trade notes with gold and silver. The new emergency government of the United States has just confiscated all the metal in that particular bank, and the traders are wondering what to do with all the bits of seemingly worthless paper they are left holding.

The Solitary Man, Volume 1
Summary
Some folks might call what Donald is trying to create with his little rural house an effort to become more self-sufficient. Donald can agree with that line of thinking, but the way he sees it, it is going to be an uphill battle and race against time to create a safe haven, "bugout" location before a NASA predicted solar storm hits. His friends and family think his extra workload is a waste of time and energy. His neighbors think he is a bit quirky somewhat or eccentric. He is not. He is just another personally driven good ol' boy prepper on a mission. He is about to perform a labor of love and preparedness that he hopes might just save him and the little dead end community he just moved into. He believersr and heeds NASA's warnings, as well as his own premonitions of impending societal breakdown. Like all Ron's books, he takes his adventure story and weaves in prepper tricks and introduces some new survival supplies that most folks haven't thought about, integrating them into his storyline. This book focuses on building a "bugout" location from scratch, with permaculture and disaster psychology applied to an unfolding catastrophe. It explores how people act as an apocalyptic event unfolds. This book is dedicated to the new Real Day Prepper show and Mr. Foster has actually accomplished much of what is written in this book as a real life experience in developing a self reliant lifestyle.
