PacWest sank 28% Thursday after the regional lender reported a 9.5% drop in deposits last week.It charges a fee for each listing you create and a separate fee for each item sold. EBay lets you auction and sell a wide range of goods and has a similar fee structure to Amazon.There are no slow or dull points and it flows very succinctly as though you are watching it all in your mind's eye. Regardless, im highly recommend this whole series. Our main Protaganist is wrapped up, but there are others who are also very cool & integral to the story and to whom we've gotten attached. As the reader, you become vested in the characters and want to follow their stories through. I'm sure there is more to tell that is interesting. I only wish that the author would continue on writing more about what happens after the end of the final book, Those Who Remain. The characters are compelling, believable, and relatable, as is the story line. With all the other things I was doing, it took me two weeks to read the series, but I just could not put the story down. I had just finished the One Second After Series, and she suggested the G.
#THOSE WHO REMAIN THESAURUS SERIES#
This series was recommended to me by a friend after we were chatting about postapocalytic, after SHTF scenarios. Patron 1 - “Have you ever wondered how can Pat still serve coffee after all this time? He must have a huge stock!” Scene: Two guys drinking espressos at Pat’s bar. Maybe Venezuelans are in such a bad shape, even if they escaped the EMP, that mercenaries would still prefer to live in the desolation following crazy Aztec burned man than go back home to their families.įinally, Author missed a great opportunity for a plot twist.
#THOSE WHO REMAIN THESAURUS FREE#
Hey, remember when we discovered that the Venezuelans were instrumental in bringing the end of the world? Neither do we, let’s give them a free pass. Never mind, toss it away, the author changed his mind. Let’s carry some random henchman head around. Due to budget cuts, the final battle scenes are cancelled and the villains will die pointless deaths on their own.
But don’t worry, we won’t have to face them in battle. How many psycho, murderous leaders can fit in the series? A lot, apparently. Also: you have eye bags so I guess you where captured by the same religious psycho, right? It’s a small planet. Let’s free the slaves! But not today, I’m drunk. Pregnant girlfriend dies? Never mind, let’s just go to work like nothing happened. Secondary characters are even more two-dimensional than in the previous books. “Hey, I need to mention Luke in 2066! Oh I know, he went to Asia and lived happily ever after.” “Hi everyone, I faked my own death because of reasons and now I’m back to force my grandkid I just met on you all.” I miss the Titanic’s “it’s been 84 years” device from the first books. Underwhelming, rushed ending to the series. I don’t need to be preached to, regarding the pros and cons of the US style of government.īeing British, I'm not into prepping or survivalist lifestyles.īut, if all you want is a fairly fast moving near future read, that won't challenge you. I don't think that I'd read or listen to any more of this author's books. The ending seemed completely at odds with what we were told about the main character. The ending really ruined the book for me. Suffice to say that the ending was completely implausible to me, unless you are attempting to make a political point and not end a book or series with credibility. Others have mentioned the ending here, but I'm not going to do that in specifics. But the lack of subtly got a bit wearing by book three or four in the series. The author wears his survivalist credentials on his sleeve, or at least that's the way it seemed to me. The series of books was entertaining, without requiring any effort to read. When it all ends, some who've stood with Gordon will be lost and those who remain pray that their sacrifices will usher in the new world they've been fighting so hard for. There he'll discover his adversary is the most cunning and cut throat of any enemy he has ever faced on the battlefield. With much of his attention focused on Jacques, he must also dedicate time to a political war brewing in McCall and Olympia. This battle will be do or die for Gordon and his fledgling republic, but is not the only problem Gordon is facing. Gordon must defeat Jacques and his army swiftly, but to do so requires a final decisive battle. With support from President Cruz in the United States, Gordon Van Zandt has assembled a formidable army to march north and engage the forces of Western Canada, who have occupied much of the panhandle of Idaho.
The war between the Republic of Cascadia and the rogue nation Western Canada is raging. Michael Hopf brings you the final chapter in the Van Zandt saga!
