My Review: I am currently writing a sci-fi novel where aliens knock out communications across the globe with a massive EMP attack. However, I know absolutely nothing about EMP attacks, the aftermath, or what to do if one should occur. I went online to see if I could find any books on the subject and came across this book by Mark Gibbs. When it arrived, I noticed that it had been obviously self-published. There is nothing wrong with that (in fact, I intend to self-publish a book soon). As I read the book, however, I soon began to notice various things that did distract from the overall message of the book, which is why I could only give the book 3 stars.

If you are interested in the subject of EMP attacks and you are capable of overlooking grammar mistakes, repetition of words, and headings that are not always correctly formatted, then I would recommend this book. It is very interesting and informative, and it is obvious that the author cares about this subject very much. I would not be surprised if the author himself was a prepper and that he practices what he is preaching.

Stats: As of writing this review (December 11, 2023), the only review on Goodreads is mine.
