- Travis Fox (Exec Producer) Oh, I know that Lights Out is a novel. I read it online and loved it. When it came out in print I bought 4 copies to hand out to friends. I was hoping you meant that it was going to be a series as like you say it needs more time to tell such a story. You are allowed to change from the FAL to the OBR as long as you do not mess up Gunny in any way whatsoever. We will be watching!

The whole line regarding the FAL would be changed. Mark wouldn't be able to get an OBR from his friends with the gun shop for safe keeping and a wink for one thing, another would be stocking cheap mags. I know, I know nick picking.
I think keeping the diversity of arms is one of the really appealling aspects of the book, the sheriff has an M1A, the one couple on the access trail have a lever action cowboy gun, it resonates real time survival, not a Rawlins' account of a semi-paramilitary group that's been prepping for decades. Just my .02.... I'm looking forward to the release.

Well, the thinking was that (a) you can get a signed book at any time from survivalmonkey, and (b) most of our fans already have a book, and didn't want another one. This is one we really struggled with. We are looking in to a special edition (movie cover) copy of the book, and may have info on that in a few months. As you can imagine, it's incredibly difficult coming up with packages that appeal to everyone! Sorry if we didn't hit the ideal one for you out of the gate. |
