Roland Stang never intended to become the caretaker of 30 abandoned children. He was just looking for a place to get out of the rain. His plan was to lay low and allow the world to reset itself after a worldwide economic collapse. But things do change. An orphan himself from an early age, the former soldier can't simply walk away and leave the children he finds. Especially once he realizes what a sorry lot of adults is nominally in charge of the group in the warehouse he's taken shelter in.
But now he's got his hands full, and then some. He has to find a home for those children, and a way to feed, clothe, and educate them. All while protecting them from people who would prey on them in one way or another, and while protecting his own back from an angry woman who apparently hates him just because. Her only redeeming feature as far as Roland is concerned? She wants to protect the children as much as he does.
Leading a handful of teens and a busload of orphaned children, Roland sets out to find a safe haven for them. Along the way, he'll make friends, enemies, and the odd mistake or two. Or more.
Roland isn't exactly parenting material, either. With problems of his own to deal with, maybe taking on so much extra responsibility wasn't the smartest thing he's ever done. Then again, Roland has always been stubborn.

I do love a good post apocalyptic good guys win story,and that is exactly what this is. Was it somewhat predictable? well yes, was it a little shallow in the back story? yes it was. was there some similarities to the Odd Todd story? well somewhat. was it entertaining? Indeed it was. Mr.Halstead did a great job narrating the story giving life to N.C Reeds cast of characters. If you haven't, I suggest you expense N.C Reeds other work , Odd Todd.
Roland Todd!!

This is the first book that has a positive spin on the subject.
It has people who refuse to accept the fact that society has changed and wants life as it was before. Criminal gangs roving about or taking over areas by intimidation. There are people who are attempting to rebuild society, one group at a time.
The only weak spot is that the ending is slap dash. It is as if the author has become tired of writing the story. From the way the ending has been written, I have no doubt that a sequel is in the works. I plan to check it out.

The writing flows smoothly, although the author lays it on thick with the "aw shucks" jargon.
The narrator does a decent job, except with certain references to military acronyms. I cringed every time he spelled out M-R-A-P instead of using the actual acronym, "M-rap."
All in all, this would probably be an entertaining and possibly informative to the under 25 audience. I won't be reading any sort of sequel to this, but will close this tale as it is.
A good read for teens and early 20's

Roland seems like a standup guy who tries to do right with the new world situation that he finds himself in. I wasn’t crazy with the way the book ended but maybe that is a good ending for Roland. I have many of this author’s books and I will say that Odd Billy Todd is the absolute best! I am still hoping that there will be a sequel to that book called, “The FARMS’ and of course, I want to be a character in that book. ;)
Billy Todd wins again. :)
