I don't know how anyone else feels about Johnstone's work but with the Ashes series I believe he can't be outdone. This book which is number five in the series is as good as the others my opinion is that if you liked number 1 you are guaranteed to like number 5

5.0 out of 5 stars Most excellent reading!!, November 22, 1996

This review is from: Alone in the Ashes (Paperback)

This particular book is written very well and never misses a beat. Like all of his books in this series you can relate almost everything he talks about to todays government. The content is very good and some is very scary to even think about but most of what is written you can see happening in todays world. Read this book and the rest of them too and think about what is said

This review is from: Alone in the Ashes (Paperback)

Ben Raines finally gets what he wants. A chance to be alone. However, that proves almost to be his undoing as he is located and pursued by two of the worst gang leaders that have come along. They're not as bad as Hartline, but enough to twist Ben's guts into such a wrinkle that he's bound and determined to rid the world of them right here and now. Again, there are not enough words, or enough room here to really say what should be said. William Johnstone has an uncanny ability to make you wonder if he has received gifted insight into the future. A future that is frightening, yet comforting to know that Ben and his people are there and ready to go!
