Jerry D Young books for discussion

[Jerry D Young]

Since a couple of people have expressed an interest in discussion my Prep/PAW fiction works, here is a list of them, by their length in words, with their original publication date. Anyone that wants to read one or more of them for discussion can simply e-mail me at jerrydyoung@outlook.com to get a free .pdf copy. There is no need to buy them at Kindle.

As we live in an urban/suburban area, I will go ahead and start discussions on three that have been mentioned to me, that deal with prepping in urban and suburban areas. Disaster In The 'Burbs, Suburban Homestead, and Neighbors.

Just my opinion.

With respect to the response to civil disaster outside the city core, a good read is "Warwolf," Hermann Loens in English translation.  This is the story of a community that survived the 30 Years' War (1618-1848) in lowland Germany by becoming self-sufficient and creating a large posse to protect their homesteads.  The book is very well-researched historical fiction, and it is believed to be a highly-accurate account of life after an economic collapse with general mayhem occurring all around.  If you want to be a prepper community organizer, I strongly recommend reading it, take extensive notes, and then check off which economic and defense measures the characters in the book used, that you would also want to use.  Some ideas you might want to discard -- like hanging poachers' bodies from tall trees and leaving them there to rot -- or maybe you want to adopt those same measures.  Like "One Second After," it gets very real and very brutal, very fast.  The only other book of its nature was written near the end of the 17th century and included some contemporaneous accounts (I have read that one as well), and is in great agreement with "Warwolf."  The contemporaneous accounts were even more gruesome than those in Warwolf, if anything.  For example:  How many people went out on hunting parties for meat, where the game were other humans?  Answer:  After a time, almost everyone.  Those who had a moral objection to cannibalism simply died off, leaving only the cannibals still alive.

I just finished reading the Dark Times part1 again.  I am looking forward to book 2 in the series.
