#425740 — _The Perseid Collapse_ (The Perseid Collapse Series) (Volume 1) by Steven Konkoly

_The Perseid Collapse_ (The Perseid Collapse Series) (Volume 1) by Steven Konkoly
    http://www.amazon.com/Perseid-Collapse/dp/1493695649/

Book number 2 of a five book series.  This is actually a four book series plus a prequel book, _The Jakarta Pandemic_.  The book is a 
POD printing in trade paperback (my favorite!).

Six years after the Jakarta Pandemic that killed 30 million people in the USA and one billion people worldwide, the USA economy has 
mostly recovered from the pandemic.  Then, somebody detonated a nuclear bomb high above the eastern seaboard of the USA.  The 
resulting fire burst above Boston, 60 foot tsunami and EMP practically destroy the entire eastern seaboard of the USA.  Our hero and 
his buddies send their families inland to his parents house on bicycles due to a severe lack of running vehicles.  Then they take the 
running Jeep that they have into the outskirts of Boston to rescue their kids at Boston University.  The story ends on a cliff hanger.

My rating:  4 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating:  4.3 out of 5 stars (525 reviews)

Forgot to mention that the author has a website at:
    http://stevenkonkoly.com/

He has a very interesting post at:
    http://stevenkonkoly.com/2015/07/03/surviving-ku-2-0/
where he describes his payments for people only reading parts of his books in Kindle Unlimited.  0.6 cents per page is the going rate 
at Amazon.  Interesting, kind of a micro payment thing.

Gosh, a massive tsunami just happening to occur at the same time as
an entirely unrelated event high in the atmosphere!  What are the odds?

(Seriously, did you leave something out or did the author really
think that it's that easy to create a big wave?)

The book sounds like a typical survivalist fantasy.  They're usually not 
too well connected to the realities of their UN/Black 
Helicopter/Socialist Government conspiracy's preferred method of world 
destruction.  :)

The nuclear air burst caused an earthquake which caused the tsunami:

Nuclear air bursts can't cause earthquakes.  Particularly not ones under 
the water.

I need to quote from the classics here:

   [Zoidberg's underwater house has just burnt down]

   Zoidberg: My home! How did it burn down?

   Hermes: That's a good question.

   Bender: [Retrieving a lit cigar from the ashes] So that's
           where my cigar went.

   Hermes: That just raises further questions!

I was impressed once by a forest fire investigation.  They found the
particular cigarette that started it and from the brand, concluded
that the offender was probably female.

Finding one cigarette next to a many-square-mile fire is impressive.

Lynn, you're such a good sport! You keep your good humor no matter how
much that old dog pile tries to smother you. Please accept my
consolation prize in the spirit that it is offered. :)

Hmmm, self-inflicted EMP from trying to divert a meteor strike at the
last minute and failing? Engaging full handwavium, something coming down
at an odd angle going to hit southern states, bomb intended to divert it
up and fragment it so it hits the south Pacific in pieces instead brings
it down and east...

Who said self-indicted?

The "meteor" strike was apparently a very large re-entry vehicle with a nuclear weapon on board that exploded over the Atlantic after 
passing over Boston.  It occurred during the Perseid meteor shower (part of the disguise), thus the name of the book.
