Notes from JWR:

Founders: A Novel of the Coming Collapse will be released in just three months (on September 25, 2012.) I just noticed that someone has already kindly created a Wikipedia page for the novel. OBTW, please wait until the release date to order your copy. Thanks! To answer the folks who’ve been writing to ask me about the storyline: I can say this, without revealing any spoilers: Founders is contemporaneous with both Patriots and Survivors. It is set primarily in Kentucky and Tennessee. There are also sub-plots for Ken and Terry Layton’s cross-country epic journey (in detail.) There is also a new character: Joshua Watanabe, a missile maintenance sergeant at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana.

Today we present two product reviews: One from L.K.O. (our Central Rockies Editor), and one from Pat Cascio (our Field Gear Editor.)
