About this audiobook
If the world as we know it ended tomorrow, would you survive?
When the United States suffers a major socioeconomic collapse, a power vacuum sweeps the globe. A newly radicalized Islamic government rises to power in Indonesia, invading the Philippines, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and finally Northern Australia. No longer protected by American military interests, Australia must repel this invasion alone.
In the thick of these political maneuvers, Peter and Rhiannon Jeffords, American Christian missionaries living in the Philippines, and Chuck Nolan, a Texas petroleum engineer working in Australia, must face the fear of being strangers in a world in flux. Meanwhile, the Jeffords' relatives back in Florida struggle to defend themselves against the widespread looting and destruction left in the wake of the US government's collapse.
As news spreads of Indonesia's merciless advances, Peter and Rhiannon must abandon their home and missionary post to avoid certain death, turning to their neighbors Paul Navarro and his teenage grandson, Joseph, to help them make the perilous 1,700-mile journey to Australia in a small boat.
But with much of Australia's navy and air force destroyed, a desperate ground war against Indonesia begins, pulling the Jeffords, the Navarros, and Chuck Nolan into a struggle that will determine the safety of their homes, livelihoods, and families.
Featuring brand-new characters, story lines that span the globe, and the authentic survivalist skills and unwavering faith needed to survive a global socioeconomic meltdown, Expatriates cements James Wesley, Rawles's reputation as a leading expert and writer in the genre.

Reviews for Expatriates
44 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The details of each position is amazing. Very talented writer! Enjoyable! Truly a classic! Worth reading!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book I enjoyed it immensely. It was very entertaining.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Survivalist Christian author writes two stories in parallel, but not related, after an apocalypse. In one, some Florida folks band together to protect themselves from city dwellers gone rogue looter. In another, an American expat escapes Indonesian invasion of Northern Australia, whilst finding the romantic love of his life and Christ at the same time. Politics and technical aspects of the survivalist cult manifest themselves in this book. The detail is sometimes excruciating as he describes the bolt action of a particular rifle, for example. Those technical details overcome what might be a good story if dummed down a little bit. Both stories make good reading and could probably be separated into two books; but that might make the editor add more detail...uck. So, this book remains a mediocre effort. I doubt if I'll read any more of this author.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5When the U.S. economy fails and East and Southeast Asia are in turmoil Australia will have to cancel its environmental protection laws in order to sustain its own economy. A gang of thugs marching ragtag to loot a central Florida community can be stopped but only by a heavily armed and carefully briefed well motivated militia. The Indonesian berserker military Muslims with modern arms in full fall mostly to a few carefully placed but independent clever Christian individuals. Christians get to shoot their enemies and claim righteousness, and Christian men get the girls.With careful prayer and a multiplicity of arms the right side will prevail and show great generosity within the cohort.Expatriates: A Novel of the Coming Global Collapse by James Wesley, Rawles, who spells his name with the comma there, is a stupid novel and not an interesting excursion into the possibilities of world economic failure or apocalypse.Bah, humbug.
