I've read that a man is defined by his friends. What about his enemies?
I have the edition of this book that has all the pages. If you read it, be prepared for the long haul, as it moves at a snails pace. It's after a Pandemic. The remainder of society forming into groups. Daily survival is a struggle in this battle between good and evil on the human and supernatural level. A book well written with characters well formed, slow at times but so is life. Sacrifices of life and tremendous hardship have to be made for any hope of winning in the end.
The key to a happy life is to accept your place in it.

Stanfields is making medical gowns. I wonder if they will look like long johns?
There are always jackasses around. Is it because we are stuck at home that we are able to take more notice of them or is it because we are stuck at home we become more easily annoyed?
I know a woman so set in her ways that she finds the same nickle every day when she goes for a walk.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

If you could see COVID-19, would you still go out? Stay home. Be safe.
During difficult times the first ones you have to keep under control are the jackasses who don't understand the danger & do as they please.
Another good addition to the James Ogilvie series. Rather than a book of blood and guts, it is a book of intrigue, a spy rather than a soldier. He is still a magnet for danger and becomes more involved with the woman he loves.
Power went off for 2 hrs. in the middle of the night. Quite a surprise when you look at your clock in the morning. So I was late for retirement.
Too many experts with too many opinions.
The only way for me to describe this book is that it has too much clutter. I didn't connect with the characters and it was too many, too soon.
Wolf Blitzer - It sounds like a book by Jack London.
Some people say you can't blame yourself for what happens to other people but sometimes you can.
Life is all about choices. What we decide now will impact the rest of our lives. Have you ever wondered what your life would have been like if you had made different choices? One different choice that could have changed your whole world? Take that job or not? Join the military or not? Marry that girl or a different one? Decisions can be be or small but all might lead to different experiences. Choices not only affect you but also your friends and family with good or bad results. It could change your way of life but also theirs. Have you made wrong choices? Will my future choices change who I am now?
This book reminds me of pirates looking for buried treasure. Except in this case the pirates are moonshiners and the buried treasure is moonshine. It is an easy to read book which leans to our perception of backwoods people and moonshiners in particular. I enjoyed the story although I felt that it ended too soon. It could have used another chapter. I look upon a story as an historical event and I want to know the outcome, how the characters made out. I need the story to have an ending, happy or otherwise.
