Emergency

Emergency follows Strauss' search for an escape plan from the seemingly ever-more unstable United States, eventually obtaining a second citizenship in a small Caribbean island - after facing shady lawyers, cult leaders, crippling doubts, governmental corruption, and plane-flying, gun-toting billionaires along the way.

Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation.

What can you do to prepare for when it all hits the fan?

You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive outside the system.

After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes—and now of world financial meltdown—Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realisation that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that's lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the necessary tools to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future.

With the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked The Game, The Dirt and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Emergency traces Neil's white-knuckled journey through today's heart of darkness, as he sets out to move his life offshore, test his skills in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It's a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and ordinary citizens going off the grid.

It's one man's story of a dangerous world—and how to stay alive in it.

Before the next disaster strikes, you're going to want to read this book. Because tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee...
