With America’s financial collapse, the entire infrastructure
and the American way of life is fast becoming a distant memory. Founders is
a fictional reality that threatens to be real in today’s day and age. No longer
can anything be taken for granted, as store shelves lay bare and most businesses
are closing their doors. Forget doctors,
forget petroleum, if you can find any luxury, will it cost you. Gasoline is now
$25 dollars a gallon.
As the government disappears, a false government run by the
U.N. takes over, out for power and control of the people. No one is safe from there evil ways and
deceptive practices as they try to take over one city at a time.
In come the Christian soldiers, scattered across America,
ready and willing to fight for the life that they had known. Most have been
preparing for this apocalyptic catastrophe for some time, others winging it
with the knowledge and skills that they have.
Together, they are able to take down the bad guys with hopes of
restoring America to its previous ways.
Founders is you typical Christian apocalyptic thriller,
where only the faithful can overcome the obstacles faced in this type of
situation. The book skipped from
different characters, locations and timelines that it made it truly difficult
to keep the timing straight. The men
portrayed were kindly Christians who suddenly were able to pick up a gun and
shoot to kill without batting an eye or an ounce of remorse. The story lacked credibility due to the fact
it never mentions the government nor politicians and the role that they
play. It appears as if they just vanish
before the story even starts. More than
anything, the story reads as a how-to on how to prepare for an event of this
type. I would probably pass this one
up.
