Publisher's Summary
In The Borrowed World, Franklin Horton showed us an America brought to its knees by a nationwide terror attack. The target? The American infrastructure.
Cell phone connections were sporadic. Electrical power was failing. Mortar attacks on major fuel refineries had created a gas shortage, stranding travelers throughout the country. One of those stranded travelers, Jim Powell, and his group of coworkers were frantically trying to make their way home using the gear on their backs and whatever other means they found at their disposal. It was a journey racked with violent, deadly encounters and exhausting physical demands, pushing each of them to the brink of their abilities. Meanwhile, on the other side of Virginia, Jim's family was facing its own struggle as desperate neighbors began to turn against each other with increasing brutality.
In the second book in this series, Ashes of the Unspeakable, we find Jim and his group still struggling to reach home. While just a few days have passed since the initial attack, the group finds that its country is quickly descending into a vicious, chaotic landscape where nothing comes easy. While they fight to close the distance between them and their loved ones, they cannot avoid the steadily growing number of people who have realized that they can get away with whatever they want in a world where there are no longer any legal consequences for their actions.
At home, Jim's family is basically forced into lockdown after a local jail discharges its starving inmates, leading to the arrival of a new, extremely violent presence in their valley. The stranger sets his sights on driving other families from their homes and taking what they own. As Jim races home, his wife Ellen struggles to keep her family safe, while each night a neighbor's home is burned to the ground.

Too short.
Kevin Pierce was brilliant once again. I'm really starting to like Franklin Horton. This book was very good, but seemed much shorter than the first. (I haven't checked the actual length yet. Can't wait to get the third....Just checked, it's actually an hour longer. I'm sold on Mr. Horton.

Fast moving excitement!
I really enjoyed this book and the chsracters.The swiching from location to location to keep up with all family members in different locations was well done.I just wished the central Character Jim was a little softer or at least had soft moments.I realize he needed to be strong but strong people can have tender moments or be strong but still empathetic.On to the next in the series!
