Notes from JWR:

Today marks 10th anniversary of 9-11-2001. We have not forgotten the nearly 3,000 lives that were taken by Islamic terrorists. Please remember the families of the victims in your prayers.. Soon after 9/11/01 our nation launched what some have dubbed the Global War On a Noun. We can never win a war against a tactic. We need to have a defined enemy. Unfortunately, too few in Washington D.C. have the requisite fortitude to close our borders to radical Islamists and to expel those of them who are already here. Sadly, I believe that won’t happen until after a couple of …

Notes from JWR:

A fan of my novel “Patriots” just produced an amazing five-minute ultralight flying video that is available free, via YouTube. Kudos! This gent shot some great footage that really captures the look and feel of some of the key locales in my novel. And in it you can see how pretty the Palouse Hills region is at harvest time. It is a High Definition (HD) video, so be sure to watch it at “full screen” size. I suppose that with the publicity of my blog, my books, this video and Radio Free Redoubt, the web traffic to SurvivalRealty.com will increase. …

Notes from JWR:

Today is the “Book Bomb” day for the new sci-fi novel Rogue, written by SurvivalBlog’s Editor At Large, Michael Z. Williamson. “Rogue”is the sequel to Mike’s novel The Weapon. While it is a sequel, it does stand alone.  Readers do not have to have read “The Weapon” for it to be enjoyed as a complete story by itself. Be forewarned that it has: “Some violence, some harsh language, and very few sexual references.” You can read some advance chapters here. When I last checked, the book was ranked around #8,000 on Amazon, overall (out of their four million titles.) Let’s …




Note from JWR:

My apologies if my SurvivalBlog posts are fairly sparse or terse for the next six days. This is “crunch week” to complete the second sequel novel manuscript that I’ve contracted with Simon & Schuster. My wife (“Avalanche Lily“) has been helping me fine tune the last few passages. That book should be released in October or November of 2012. In the meantime, the “Book Bomb” day for for the first sequel to “Patriots” (“Survivors: A Novel of the Coming Collapse) is October 4th, 2011. Thank you for waiting until that day to order your copy! By waiting, we hope to …
