Scott Piper
Black Autumn
Living in SLC, this book is fun due to all the local references. The story raises some interesting ideas, is generally plausible, and it's written well enough, so myself and others I've recommended it to have all finished it. However, you will cringe at many things. The worst is the author's wrote themselves into the book (with their full names!) and describe themselves as bad-asses. There are stupid references to coffee due to the author's association with the Black Rifle Coffee Company. There is ridiculous disdain for the 5.56 round in favor larger calibers. There are self-congratulatory remarks by those that prepared for bad times. You will cringe. But you will also probably finish reading it and the audiobook is be entertaining enough for a long car ride.
