The Desperate Times Trilogy takes a hard-hitting look into serious conditions we could encounter in the days, weeks, and months following an economic cataclysm. Jimmy Logan wakes up late on a Friday morning and rushes to work, only to find out that the world is on the brink of disaster. The dollar is in a free-fall and the foreign exchanges have tanked. There is panic in the streets and by the end of the day the shelves will be bare and commerce will have ground to a halt. Jimmy joins up with a group of people led by his employers, Ken and Patty Dahlgren. They have a lake home in northern Minnesota and have had the foresight to stock it with enough provisions to ride the storm out. As conditions deteriorate, the National Guard is called in to uproot the general population and deliver them to relocation camps. Jimmy and his friends find themselves defending what they have in a lawless society where only the strong survive. Desperate Times is powerful fiction, geared to provoke critical thought.
