E M P Honeymoon is a 252-page fiction novel with 16 chapters written by Dorothy May Mercer. This book is an electrifying and intense post-apocalyptic thriller that takes readers on a heart-pounding journey through a world devastated by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event. Blending elements of survival, romance, and suspense, this book delivers a gripping narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

One of the standout features of this book is its vivid and realistic portrayal of a post-EMP world. Mercer's attention to detail and thorough research is evident as she describes the devastating effects of the EMP event on modern technology and infrastructure. The chaos, desperation, and struggle for survival are palpable, creating a sense of urgency that propels the story forward.

I liked many things about this book, the first being how the characters are well-developed and relatable, allowing readers to become emotionally invested in their journey. The main protagonists, Tom and Kelly, are thrown into a harsh and unforgiving world, testing their resilience and love for one another. Their determination to find safety and build a future together in the face of overwhelming odds adds compelling emotional depth to the story. The author's writing style is fast-paced and immersive, capturing the gritty reality of survival in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The tension and suspense are expertly maintained throughout, with unexpected twists and turns that keep readers guessing. The author's ability to create a palpable sense of danger and uncertainty adds to the book's overall intensity.

Another thing I liked about this book was its romantic element, which provides a welcome respite from the harsh realities of the post-EMP world. Tom and Kelly's relationship is tender and authentic, providing hope and strength amidst the chaos. Their love story adds a touch of warmth and humanity to the narrative, showcasing the power of love and connection even in the most dire circumstances. I also loved how the book primarily focuses on survival and action; it also touches upon important themes such as resilience, trust, and the fragility of civilization. The book prompts readers to reflect on the vulnerability of our modern world and the potential consequences of a technological collapse, making it both a thrilling read and a thought-provoking exploration of human nature.

The only thing I disliked about this book was how I was confused during the televised meeting with Dr. Kinney, where he was talking about some physics terms. I rate this book four out of five stars because of my dislike, as mentioned above. I did not find any errors, which means it was exceptionally well-edited. If you enjoy action-packed tales of survival, suspense, and a touch of romance, this book is a must-read.

This novel was quite interesting but the suspense and action was not good enough for what the plot means. Your review is well written.

I think I agree with you that the televised meeting was confusing. I was trying to comprehend the meeting myself, but it was a little bit difficult. Great review.

From your review I am curious if this is a post war book. But still I love when a couple is able to fight together and overcome the odds that threatens their honeymoon.
