I just finished 'Patriots' and I guess I didn't like it very much. I found it too religious and political biased for my taste and, while some of the information provided was accurate, I couldn't overcome my disliking for conspiracy theories.

I rather much prefer 'Alas Babylon', 'Earth Abides', 'Hatchet' or 'Day By Day Armageddon'.

Just my two cents worth...
