Query: This Should Not Have Been A Fiction Novel

The author should have written a non-fiction piece on survival skills. It is clear he is very knowledgeable on this topic. However, by putting it into the context of a fiction novel, it loses its purpose and its appeal. Unfortunately, the story line is so bland, boring, and frankly, poorly written, its hard to read it -- even though I'm a big fan of survivalblog.com and the author. I'd have prefered a simple tome on survival skills. The storyline just bogs everything down and its poorly done. There is useful information to be gleaned in this book -- but its hard to want to read through it to find it.Sorry, write another one and this time focus on what you know.
