(Paperback)
When the much-heralded stellar event of the century turns into global catastrophe, mankind finds itself facing almost certain extinction as the sky begins to fall. As the world grows deathly cold in an atomic winter, a handful of survivors in Arizona strike out for their last chance of survival. Making their way over what is left of the broken roads and highways, they struggle to outrun not only the elements but also a growing army of escaped convicts. Led by a discredited soldier named John Hammond, the small caravan of survivors learns that they have no choice but to unite or die. Earth, the New Frontier is a story of everyday people under adverse conditions. With death never more than a step behind them, the characters face insurmountable challenges as they struggle for their very existence.

March 02, 2005: All I can say is read it---and don't put it down until you are at least sixty or so pages in. You'll be hooked by then.

January 29, 2005: Ever since I saw World War III with Rock Hudson and David Soul, I have liked stories about the end of the world. To me, an EOW scenario is cool because it's the absolute test. the only rule is that there are no rules. New Frontier seems to me to be a deserving successor to the classic EOW books out there. Every time I turned a page, I was asking myself 'How would I do in this situation?' or 'Do I have enough ammo for the end of the world?' This is a pretty good book that I enjoyed quite a bit. It was no Red Storm Rising, but it was pretty entertaining.
