Wanted to give a heads up that a friend of mine wrote a book, Against the Grain by Ian Daniels. It was edited by an Appleseed instructor and has plenty of good gun play and objectively, I think its pretty good. Its a fun and easy read and not some “look at me do everything right” or a disguised survival handbook, and a lot more realistic than the Red Dawn invasion or Nuclear holocaust type books. More like a New Old West situation and honestly, I think its a notch above a lot of the other SHTF books out there. To me it is just a good story with a little humor that you can turn your brain off to and there is a prequel and sequel in the works.
Kindle and Paperback at Amazon, or Smashwords has all the other EReader formats too.
I write too. I’ve had to strip the base URL out of the amazon links many times. You’re friend is kicking but. 4,000 in the Kindle store is a damned good ranking. Looks like SHTF books overall are doing well. Sign of the times.
edited the link - thanks for the fix. how does all that ranking work? 4000 sounds… well not what you called it lol, but if thats good then hey, even better for him.
Ian is totally just a down to earth gun guy that didnt like the books he was reading so he wrote one for himself… apparently it works for some other people too.
A 4K rank means probably 50 sales a day give or take 10 or 20. At that price, he’s making a couple of bucks per book. There’s over a million books in the store. 4000 is pretty damned good. Good on him.
I have bought literally way too many books on Amazon and just dont understand when people price their stuff so high you dont even put it in the wishlist. I know publishers set prices but if a kindle isnt under $5 and a paperback under $10, then imo there is other stuff to read.
See how it began… well you know, after it had already started. See how it started after it had already began? See what happened before the other one that was already a year or two into it all? … This one is a prequel, let’s just go with that.
I just finished reading this book, I really, truly enjoyed it. I liked that the author didn’t go into a huge back story of “how we got here.” I thought it brought a real “This is it, deal with it!” aspect to the story.
I just read that he is doing a prequel, can’t wait to read it.
