Torn straight out of today's headlines, national bestselling author William W. Johnstone's groundbreaking and controversial series refuses to die...Destroyed by the fires of nuclear holocaust, our once great nation is in shambles. Life as we know it is no more. But among the survivors stands Ben Raines, retired soldier, mercenary, and the only man alive trained to lead the Resistance into a visionary new America.But the Rebels' greatest adversary - our own government - forces Raines and his army into bloody guerrilla combat - and an unavoidable civil war. Now, as brother turns against brother, an even greater peril is thrown into the pot: a new, indestructible breed of post-apocalyptic enemies who threaten to wrest control of the new world and sink it into a hell on earth.

Good Pulp Adventure With One Proviso,
This review is from: Fire In The Ashes (Zebra Books) (Paperback)
IN the 30s, when pulp adventure was king, there was a magazine called Operator 5 about America's greatest secret agent. Excellent stories, but especially noteworthy is the "Purple Invasion" set of stories where Op 5 had to contend with foreign invaders who had seized control of America. The "Ashes" series rings with echoes of those great pulp stories. After WW3, America is in grips of a brutal, yet American run, dictatorship. Ben Raines is the head of the Rebels trying to overthrow the ruling govt. and return America to democracy. The first 3/4 of the book show Raines in his struggle with the ruling party. The last quarter is a grim account of the world being swept by the Black Plague. All in all, it's an exciting and worthwhile adventure with one proviso. Normally I don't mind a little sex and violence in my action fiction. Heck, violence is an integral part of any men's adventure fiction. What is disturbing about this book is the sex and there is plenty of it. However, almost all of the sex portrayed in this book is brutal rape. When the secret police are trying to get information from anyone in this book, they are, for the most part, raped, sodomized or forced to watch loved ones undergo the same treatment. A couple of incidents would have been fine to show characterization of the men in power, but Johnstone goes way overboard. It was a bit disturbing

I dare you to open the pages.,
This review is from: Fire In The Ashes (Zebra Books) (Paperback)
This book is number 2 in the Ashes series and it a great sequal to number 1. It keeps you there right in the thick of things and it shall leave marks on your neck from the stranglehold it put on you. You might think I exagerate and who knows I might be doing just that but for you to find out you have to buy it and read it. So go ahead I dare you.

TOO MUCH REPITITION,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fire In The Ashes (Kindle Edition)
Overall the book is quite good. The reason for the three stars is that 15%, or more, of the book is composed of excepts from the first novel "Out of the Ashes". If you didn't read the first book you'll be pleased to find a lot of it in this book.
