Description
Story Synopsis:
When the weather and other natural disasters destroyed the governments of most nations, Gen Jackson feels the need to protect those he loves from the madness that comes with no government and no social services. The only currency available is food or hard currency like gold or silver. People are killed in their homes by marauders determined to take over. The Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway and the Tennessee River present a juicy plum for those marauders. The locks and dams along this water highway provide much needed electricity, and the "safe" passage to those who would provide needed goods to internal North America. When this passage is at risk, locals band together to save the river and its occupants.
Excerpt from Red Sky At Morning:
“Crap!†Gen said when the back of his head hit the deck and then his face hit the side of the storage locker underneath the starboard bunk. Until 5 seconds ago, he had been asleep in the port side bunk in the forward stateroom of his 52 foot steel hulled cruiser Essie Mae. “Not again!†he muttered, thinking that the boat had been blown off of its anchor spot. The weather had been really strange. Tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, dust storms, and incredible thunderstorms had been plaguing the whole world. Possibly the most severe springtime weather on record for the American Southeast, it also was the strangest bout of weather that he had ever experienced anywhere or anytime not to mention the swarms of earthquakes occurring almost daily around the world. One by one, governments around the globe were succumbing to the shear cost of the disasters. Many could no longer provide basic services. That even included his hometown in the Shoals Area of north Alabama. Gen was having trouble recognizing the fact that most of the people were just gone. Where? No one knew for sure.

An excellent read in the post-apocalyptic genre. I loved the way it depicted the plight of the people in the area. Keep up the good work, Jack.
