unfortunately, it just feels like a cash grab.

I have to confess to being really sad when this arrived. I was really happy and looking forward to reading it on an upcoming trip where I had a few hours this would kill perfectly. But an initial flip through the pages revealed to me this is not anything new - its the first season of the show drawn as a comic.

I listened to this as an audiobook, almost in one sitting. I couldn't stop listening to this tale of how corrupt the world we live in can be. I think we all consider ourselves cynical and believe we understand how the world works, but this book shows it’s even worse than we think. I don't admire Mr. Elwood for what he did, but I do admire his brutal honesty about the damage he has done.

This book offers an eye-opening look at what would happen in the moments following an event that none of us wants to occur. Throughout the entire length of the book, I was absolutely struck by the absurd lengths to which the American and other governments have gone, and are willing to go, to keep their leaders alive. And for what? To rule over the ashes? The billions being spent on facilities, planning, equipment, and staffing to keep someone alive so they can be in charge of the absolute disaster that remains. Assuming anything remains, which it might not. It's abhorent to me that money can be found for this but real, existing and long term problems are met with a threadbare response, if they are met at all.
