  • The Woodsmen Kindle Edition

by Dell Sweet (Author)  The idea had been Mike’s, a well-timed proposal during a particularly grueling quarterly review. “We’re losing it,” he’d declared, his voice cutting through the drone of economic forecasts. “We’re soft. This city… it’s made us soft. We need to remember what it means to be men, to rely on ourselves, not on algorithms and assistants.”
  The consensus had been swift, almost too swift, as if each man had been waiting for the permission, the justification, to escape. The destination: the Southern Tier of Upstate New York, far from the manicured trails and well-trodden paths of more popular wilderness areas. Mike had painted a picture of untamed forests, pristine lakes, and a silence so profound it would be deafening after the ceaseless roar of the city. #Thriller #Drama #KU #Adventure #Survival

The end has come for most of the world’s population. Small groups of survivors are picking up the pieces… Learning to live again…

When the sun began to peek over the top of the ridge on the opposite shore of the Black River, everyone filed out to the two remaining trucks.
