Battle in the Ashes

Ashes #17

by William W. Johnstone

"I'm not looking for a fight, but damned if I'll run from one."
--Ben Raines

Our Land Is Not Your Land

Chilling rumors of a new Nazi movement reach the rebel camp of Ben Raines and his freedom fighters. Led by descendents of Hitler's Third Reich, Commanding General Jesus Mendoza Hoffman has assembled a massive army in the mountains of South America. Estimated at more than 200,000 strong, Hoffman and his New Army of Liberation terrorists will stop at nothing to spread their doctrine of evil across the free world. Striking northward, they march into Mexico, where the Mexican army--under the command of General Payon--is no match for Hoffman's invaders. And now, as the doomsday forces turn Texas into a beleaguered battleground, Raines and his troops must fight to prevent America from erupting in a holocaustic bloodbath of atrocity and death.

Still Fighting

Raines and the Rebels, after facing more overwhelming odds, are still flourishing. However, they are also still fighting and still dealing with Neo nazis who want to take over North America, then the World. This latest Ashes book is just as compelling and interesting as all previous, with more characters developing and more storylines being threaded. I am amazed that after so many books in this series, each new one still not only holds my interest, but also can take my breath away!

Ben faces down the majority of the Nazi threat invading from South America. With that mostly taken care of, it appears that the next book will be a mop up. Of course, who knows what Ben and his rebels will face?

Still in awe

I had to give this a 5 star rating because I believe in what Ben Raines and his rebels are fighting for. If you have not read any of this series, I suggest you start. Also the town I was born in, Lester, Alabama is mentioned in this book.

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
