Tyranny in the Ashes

Ashes #30

by William W. Johnstone

"We have defeated enemies who outnumbered and
outgunned us. We have learne our lessons in blood and
tears. But now—once gain—tyranny is knocking
on our door." —Ben Raines

The patriot army of Ben Raines went toe-to-toe with the most powerful enemy in the world—the USA—and fought its way through hellish chaos and terrorism. But for the free and the brave there is no rest—not when USA leader Claire Osterman has been ousted from power. Her reaction: A plan for revenge that will plunge the North American continent into bloody war.

The attack will come from the South, where Osterman has made a pact with the devil—a former Sandinista Rebel named Perro Loco. Ruching up through Costa Rica and Mexico, their unholy alliance is poised to strike at the heart of the SUSA. Ben Raines, however, will not wait until blood is spilled on his soil. He will lead his own strike force into the jungles of Mexico to kill the enemy on his own ground.

[Stephen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Osterman lives and still wants to make life miserable for Raines and the SUSA. Bruno is hanging in the wings waiting to make another run at Ben, and now time for all hell to break loose. Ben unleashes Buddy's Brigade and sends them into the fight. Got to love the carnage that follows.

[Little Timmy · Rating 3 out of 5]

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
