The storms before the Calm.

Resourceful programmer Dee Baker is getting worried about climate change. Food prices are skyrocketing, the drought out west deepening, and the storms won’t quit. When her intrusive Fortune 100 media employer forbids her to attend the worsening riots, Dee defies them to visit a rally, and see for herself what they’re trying to hide.

Civilly Disobedient is a short prequel to the Calm Act series.

5.0 out of 5 stars She got me!

I received this book free from the author after downloading another book which was offered in a bundle book giveaway. I am voluntarily reviewing this book and it is my honest opinion. That said, I have to admit this author, Ginger Booth, got me. This was a prequel, which, as we all know, is intended to do one of two things. First, if offered after one has read the series, it fills in background. Second, as in my case, it's designed to whet one's curiosity to read the series. Well, she did. Without giving a spoiler, I'll say the whole premise is intriguing, especially since I didn't like the main character a whole lot. But, if this is going where I think it's going, I may change my mind. Then again, as someone who likes to be surprised, it may not go that direction, in which case I'll let you know after I read them.
I did find the writing to be well done, the plot possible, and the people well sketched. There are many issues to be faced in this series, as well as tangents that could addressed. The only thing I didn't like was the length, which was short, and I first wanted to give it four stars just for that. Then I realized that short is sometimes harder to write than long and I needed to be fair to it on it's own. Hence, the five stars. Warning! Read at at your own risk! You may fall under the author's spell, as did I!

As a prequel to The Calm Act series, the short story “Civilly Disobedient” does a great job of introducing the reader to what is befalling America in this dystopian ‘not so far in the’ future. I don’t like to say much about the storyline itself since I personally hate spoilers and feel that reviewers should write reviews and authors should write synopses.
What I look for first and foremost in a book, is if the author has taken the time and effort to have their work edited and proofed. I cannot enjoy a book that is filled with misspellings and grammatical errors, or huge shifts of character action that make no sense. Ginger Booth’s story does not fall into this category. It is well written, well edited and well proofed.
The main character, as well as a couple of minor characters, are well developed, complex and believable. You really get to know and understand Dee by the end of the story. The story itself, is strongly written, with a sense that it is based more on science fact than it is science fiction. One thing that makes a book more enjoyable, is the ability for the reader to suspend disbelief as they become immersed in the story. This was evident in “Civilly Disobedient”

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Way to Meet Characters!

This is one of three short "Prequels" in separate series. Ginger Booth offers this and "Dust of Kansas" free. I was able to upload only "Dust of Kansas" which I read first. It set the scene and characters even for "Civilly Disobedient". I didn't want the free audio so I purchased "Civilly Disobedient" and glad I did. It adds greatly to the main books! The stories all have strong characters and focus on the human and physical changes due to Climate Change, especially here in the United States, in a way that correlates with many non-fiction works being published now. However, these stories are centered foremost on characters and life changes for them. The cast is fascinating and I had some difficulties remembering the meanings of the acronyms in "Dust of Kansas". The reader gets tossed into Emmett and his Service mom's predicament of setting up a temporary 'home' near a training base in Kansas where nothing is as it seems. We meet fellow military classmates/friends and others who will reappear in the main series (novels). The Kansas school is 'no ordinary military school' and events unknown begin to appear as climate change begins to effect the general population. It's a low-key 'thriller' at first and I wasn't sure where it was leading. I would read it first and then hop into "Civilly Disobedient" where the characters reappear in Connecticut and main protagonist, Dee, appears. My first purchase was "End Game" which caught my interest in Climate Change. I began reading it when I found the "Prequels". I then purchased "Civilly Disobedient" and I'm enjoying it, as a prequel to "End Game". I feel that the author might improve the series by including "Civilly Disobedient" as a 'Forward' or part of "End Game" because I had trouble accessing it and had to purchase it. It would also help if "Dust of Kansas" fed into the related book in the series. Not all readers want to sign up via email and again, I was unable to access "Civilly Disobedient" without purchase. I'm glad I did purchase it. However, I feel the information and story would be better as part of the main novel, "End Game". I will provide further reviews once I have read "End Game". "Dust of Kansas" doesn't appear for review on Amazon.com. Kind of chasing it all around but again, I love the author's theme on Climate Change and her characters easily come alive on the pages and the stories are definitely worth reading.

An excellent prequel to the Calm Act series. A very well written story that makes one think about the possible future of our world. An excellent original plot and a very likeable main character. I highly recommend this ebook and audio. I will definitely be reading the Calm Act series. I received an audio coy of this book from the author, but also purchased an ebook for my collection.
