A Distant Eden edition by Lloyd Tackitt Literature Fiction eBooks
The author may think he's giving great advice. Unfortunately, anyone who tries to use his knowledge is going to probably end up in prison. I really tried to give this book a chance. But, it's clear the author does not know science. Does not know his fellow man. Does not know how to truly survive. Replacing fuses.. umm.. what about the alternator? Living in a sub basement to hide from the neighbors? Breaking into houses to make sure that your the only person on the block.. and killing anyone that is alive? WTF?? Save your time. I'm sorry, I wasted mine on this drivel.Product details

A Distant Eden edition by Lloyd Tackitt Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I found A Distant Eden, by Lloyd Tackitt to be an interesting story as a novel. That said, and taking into account that he intends it to be a guide for us at the breakdown of a law-enforced society as we know it, I am not so sure my admiration extends to the rest of it. From where does the philosophy "Kill them all and let God sort them out" come? As a writer, it was Tackitt's world to create, yet there was more than one situation where negotiation and trade tactics could have been brought into play very easily. A subjective look at urban gang rule and unruly groups of arrested development left to develop hubris unchecked by law enforcement, and extrapolated into "the rules are there are no rules" could lead to such a scenario as Tackitt describes, and every rational human being on this planet can only work to avert such a situation before it begins.
Tackitt's advice on planning and preparation are sound as a basic premise, but food storage can not be taken so lightly. Nutrition is vital. A limited diet as he describes may work for a short period, but such a diet long term is deadly. Even a vitally healthy person's nutritional base would be drained to weakness and death within a year on a diet of fats, beans, and corn. Planning on becoming a "hunter/gatherer" at a time like this is a laughable dream. A person is not allowed that kind of learning curve in an emergency situation. Few have a private "reserve" of a thousand acres of their own. Too many live in urban settings, suburban settings, even planned communities with trees and wildlife included would find that every family has plans to "kill a deer" at the first sign of food shortage. There are not that many deer. There are more neighbors that will be killed by a stray bullet.
Read it, let it give you food for thought, but please do not take Tackitt's survival advice seriously. Killing everyone we think is "bad" is not good survival. Killing those who, in our judgment would not survive anyway, and calling it an act of mercy is criminal. Failing to BOIL water is not survival. Storing an inadequate diet is not survival. Arming yourself, storing adequate ammunition, learning to safely and accurately handle that weapon is survival. Hiding your location is survival, especially if you are isolated. A neighborhood plan is survival if you have neighbors. Sometimes not revealing that you have food and ammunition storage to neighbors who have not planned is survival. Grow a brain. Learn from others. Network. Use good judgment. Build a "Tribe" before it is needed. That is survival.
I recommend that you read A Distant Eden and begin to think about what sort of survival scenario you wish to have should our society break down in this manner.
There was a lot of information in this book about how to survive in an apocalypse. I don't know how helpful it might actually be, obviously, but it seemed pretty sensible. As far as the story went, it wasn't as intense as I would have preferred, but it was still pretty good. I downloaded this series when it was free; I don't know if it's still free or not.
A solar storm wipes out the power grid, resulting in chaos and mayhem, with most people unprepared for the realities of life without electricity, no transportation, no food deliveries, no running water, etc.
This is a story about one family who were somewhat prepared, and what they must do to survive in the new world order.
Results although I enjoyed reading this, the fictional part of the book was a little dull. The author said in the introduction that it was a cross between fiction and a survival manual, and that's true. I only wish the fictional part had been more gripping. Because I downloaded it as a fiction novel, and not as a survival manual, I gave it only 2 stars.
This is a bit of light reading that I would rate as an above average TEOTWAWKI whose main purpose appears to be survivalist training rather than engrossing entertainment. Character and story line development are shallow but pleasantly readable, even inviting enough to make this a quick weekender read. Opportunities for deeper engrossment both for the author and the reader are unfortunately missed. The how to prepper lessons are a gateway inviting deeper research. Some are quite novel, some dubious and some are just plain unicorns. But that is the way of fictional novels over technical manuals.
The book however is well reasoned in it’s forecast of the dimension, chronology and behavior of society’s collapse, post apocalypse. The piece regarding the ‘making of a pencil’ is particularly salient highlighting the fragility of the production chain of even the simplest things unrecoverable without an industrial revolution re-do from the beginning.
As is typical of serial first books, the cast of characters has coalesced and survived, but judging by the conclusion, the journey has hardly begun. Though not as good as some, book one was enjoyable enough to stand on it’s own and to order the next two. They will determine the author’s horsepower by how bad the brain drain gets as he goes along unraveling his yarn.
He provided A LOT of wrong survival information. I think he has something against Christians. And he thinks killing a woman and her child (after killing the husband/father) is better than letting them try to make it on their own. Some women actually know a lot about survival... I feel like he took away any possibility of people coming together in a time of tragedy and terror and just focused on the negative anxiety provoking aspects (which you should be prepared for). I just really did not like this book one bit. (Oh, and every character has the same voice--but I was ok with that because I knew this was supposed to be a survival guide. But this guy really doesn't know much about survival. Don't buy it.)
The author may think he's giving great advice. Unfortunately, anyone who tries to use his knowledge is going to probably end up in prison. I really tried to give this book a chance. But, it's clear the author does not know science. Does not know his fellow man. Does not know how to truly survive. Replacing fuses.. umm.. what about the alternator? Living in a sub basement to hide from the neighbors? Breaking into houses to make sure that your the only person on the block.. and killing anyone that is alive? WTF?? Save your time. I'm sorry, I wasted mine on this drivel.
