Expatriates: A Novel of the Coming Global Collapse Description
In the latest survivalist thriller from founder of survivalblog.com and New York Times bestselling author James Wesley, Rawles, two expat families struggle for their very survival in the midst of a global economic collapse. When the United States suffers a major socioeconomic collapse, a power vacuum sweeps the globe. A newly radicalized Islamic government rises to power in Indonesia, invades the Philippines, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and finally northern Australia. No longer protected by American military interests, Australia must repel an invasion alone.
In the thick of these political maneuvers, an American family of missionaries living in the Philippines and a Texan petroleum engineer in Australia must face the fear of being strangers in a world in flux. Are their relatives back home healthy and safe? Will they ever see them again?
In its depiction of the authentic survivalist skills and techniques needed to survive a global socioeconomic meltdown,
Expatriates is as informative as it is suspense-filled.

James Rawles is the godfather of modern survival/collapse fiction so I was super excited for the release of his 4th book in the series but unfortunately about 50 pages in that turned to disappointment. As a daily follower of his blog I saw before the book came out that it would be focusing on Northern Australia (among other areas)which I have spent time in so right there major cool points.
I have to say though this book reads more like a collection of unfinished short stories. He'll dive into great detail briefly and then jump ahead a year and then to another set of characters and then back a year and then to another character and then ahead 3 years and then be very vague almost like he's boring himself telling that part. There are a few good action scenes and some of his interwoven "how to" advice (for example several pages are dedicated to a list of books the characters downloaded that you should actually have in real life) which is nice but overall I just couldn't get into it.
He tends to be critical of reviewers who don't sing his praises but I hope he takes our critiques to heart. Focus your attention on a cohesive story line and remain consistent in your level of detail if you want to make another 5-star book like "Patriots".

This is the second book in a row from Rawles that has ben a let down. I was hoping this book would be an improvement over the last but it is not.
