Very good adventure series. Basically the forming of a new United States after WW3 and the story of the man who leads and forms it. If you like men's adventure stories you will enjoy it. Recommended

Another Great Ashes Book

And the story not only continues, but now there are more mysteries and twists coming. As well as some old characters back with different attitudes. I was surprised by a couple of new things that have developed, and in a good way, driving the story along even further towards believability. For a dystopian storyline, this series is very realistic which makes it fascinating to read.

Great Book

I really enjoy this series, only problem is getting issues from Enemy in the Ashes that don't cost an arm and a leg. Have read up to that book, about 2dozen times already.

Ben returns to Louisana back where it all began in Out of the Ashes. He settles a few old scores and deals with ignorance. This book really seemed to focus on how education would be the key of ending racial prejudice. The old Russian adversary calls in on the radio briefly to end old hostilities and offer help. Looks like he might be on Ben's side for a while.

Another great novel

William Johnstone has become my new favorite author. This is the 8th book of this series. Most books in a series start to get dull after the first 2, but these get better. I highly recommend that you read it.

I was hoping for so bad it was good. I was disappointed. Worst 50 cents I ever spent.
