The World Burns #11

Hope Of The World: A Post-Apocalyptic Story

Michael and King work to take control of the bunker that housed the traitorous DHS agents, while John and King figure out who can be trusted. Col. Grady's sudden dismissal has left the president in a lurch. When he needs him, Grady has gone to ground as he promised to avoid the fallout from Chinese bombers. An old warrior, a man who was once mistaken for John Norton, crawls out of the darkness to join the war against all Americans. His is a battle for decency, peace, and sanity. Can the Devil Dog, formerly known as Dick Pershing, pull off one or two more apparent suicidal missions and help end the madness? Will Blake, Sandra, and Chris survive to the happy ending we all hope they have? And what of the baby? This is the final episode in the serialized storyline of, The World Burns.

Awesome!

The eleven "books" in this series should be pulled into one book. I loved the characters and the way they grew and developed throughout the series. I liked the common sense of the folks at the Homestead and their no nonsense style of using what you got to make what you need. I enjoyed the No Common Sense of the political characters, as it is so true to what we see everyday coming from our professional politicians in today. The narrative was enjoyable in the first "book," but I had to get the rest of the series on my kindle because they aren't yet out in audio.

I borrowed the books with my unlimited membership, but I will be going back to buy them as I do with most of my favorite books. This series will get a second and maybe even a third reading.

This author has become one of my favorite and I look for him every week when new books are released.

An epic end to an epic series! In the last book of this series the author ties up the loose ends. All of the characters in the previous books come together to destroy the threats to America. They persevere through great odds, showing the strength that America has become known for. We’ve watched the growth of each and every character throughout his eleven books of The World burns Series, and we find ourselves laughing, crying, and cheering them on. The ending is perfect, celebrating the new America, the newly elected President, and a new life as America begins to rebuild itself. I began reading this series around 4 in the afternoon, and at three that morning I reluctantly stopped reading at the end of Book 7. I got up the next morning and completed the series by that afternoon! Craven has written a tale that sucks you into his world and that world doesn’t want to release you.

Boyd Craven never lets you down!

I started on the first book and could not put it down! This wasn't like any if Craves books. The characters in alk the books were interesting and very creative. Girls win overwhelming the very tough men. America taken over and hands on deck accross the USA servised by a female with a very strong side kick (husband)..A must read all 11 books hope for the twelve book (cannabals) ?

The World Burns series

Loving this series. Have enjoyed all the books through number eleven. So many times books with a large cast of characters can be hard to follow, not so with this series. Kept me interest through each book and never seemed to drag. Very well written and enjoyable.

Great Series

As I have said before this is very well written. Boyd even quoted my favorite author W.W. Johnstone (Ashes Series ).
Which tells me he is quite sure of his own great writing ability. PLEASE SIR I WANT MORE!! PLEASE read in order you will enjoy more, if that is possible.

interesting read

I enjoyed the first eight books. I didn’t like the last books. You wrote like a proud boy/trump supporter on the last books. What a shame, 65% of the country would not agree with your book. No government or party has all the answers but we are all better off without trump.

I love it when the bad guys get what's coming to them. I recommend this series but start with Book One. I read the entire series in under a week. Good author although there are some grammatical errors now and then.

Must read guide for future?

I will defiantly be reading this again and again. A guide for all to read. Very realistic information that would be useful if even a hint was to really happen. Pray it doesn’t.

Thank you for a series we can hopefully not, use in the future.

If you are looking for a good read, this is it.

Great series.

Each book was short but they were very enjoyable read and I hope the characters get picked up in another series. One of the best parts was describing President 44! Right on and stay safe!

This series! Wow!

After reading each book and quickly starting the next one I must say I learned a little survival lesson and was well entertained. This author has a way of pulling you into the stories

Great story.

This set of books should be republished as maybe three novels. I don't not read short novels but the stories and the writing was excellent. Sometimes predictable but always engaging. Thanks for the journey.

Great read

Well that was the ultimate ending. I won’t say what happens and spoil it for you but let’s just say I’m proud to be an American and this book was once again written to keep you in your toes. Enjoy!

A series worth reading

I've read books by authors mentioned in this book. All of them were good and so was this series. This series was more realistic sounding than some I've read with believable characters. Highly recommend reading.

Hot damn! Great book and totally best series ever!

So thrilled with the quality of these books. Would love to see these books played out on movie or television screens but the cost of production is too prohibitive at this stage of Americas Apocalypse!

I'm sad its come to an end, but what a great ending. These characters will forever be some of my favorite ever put in print. Some will go on in future Craven works, some wont but I cannot wait to see their evolution. Thank you for inviting us all into the world of Blake Jackson, Boyd. We are forever in your debt.

Awesome.

One of the best post apocalyptic series I've read so far, and I've read a bunch. Not too gruesome, but realistic (at least for someone like me with no military background.)
