Surviving In Sea Breezes: A community struggles for survival after the Collapse - Paperback

by Douglas Thornblom (Author)

The island community of Sea Breezes struggles to survive in the aftermath of a complete Collapse of government, society, and the economy after a massive terrorist attack against the U.S. and the western world. Individual neighbors in Sea Breezes step up and lead the community in their own fields of expertise. A retired army Lieutenant Colonel leads scavenging expeditions out to the island's gang-controlled badlands; a former policewoman keeps discipline within the community; a nurse establishes a medical aid station; and a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant manages the community's security forces. Other homeowners work in areas necessary for everyone's survival: hunting, fishing, and gardening. But it simply is not enough. Reduced to living by their own wits, they desperately wait for help from a small army force that landed at the airport in nearby Port Monroe, Florida. But it becomes evident that the rescue of civilians is not part of the army's mission. And what is the fledgling U.S. government's plan for recovery? Who will be sacrificed? Getting enough food, and maintaining their security against vicious gangs and roaming outlaws, become increasingly difficult as their enemies also become increasingly desperate. Time is running out for everyone on the island, and only the fittest will survive. How much longer can the 200 or so men, women, and children of Sea Breezes last? This is the conclusion of the Sea Breezes two-book set.
