The Compound by S. A. Bodeen

What would you do if there was a nuclear war? If you had forty minutes to live? In The Compound, Eli's billionaire father has been planning for a nuclear disaster for years.  In the forty minutes that they had, Eli and his family rushed to an underground bunker that is outfitted with everything they could ever need in the fifteen years they will have to stay underground.  However, six years after the disaster, there are problems with the food supply, and Eli's father seems to be hiding something...

The Compound is a fast-paced novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page.  It looks into the minds of the characters as well as questioning a few ethical issues.  The question here is, are Eli and his family really safer three stories underground?

5 stars
