This special box set edition of The Borrowed World Series contains the full text of books 1-3 of the best-selling series: The Borrowed World, Ashes Of The Unspeakable, and Legion Of Despair. This series has garnered tens of thousands of 4 and 5 star reviews.

If society fell apart, could your family survive? Jim Powell thought he was ready. He was a regular guy who travelled a lot for work and hated every second he was away from his young family. But when ISIS operatives unleashed a coordinated attack on America’s infrastructure, his entire world shattered. The electrical grid collapsed, communication networks were damaged, critical bridges and dams were destroyed, and major fuel refineries have gone up in massive fiery clouds.

Now, with an Executive Order halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament. He's trapped hundreds of miles away from his family, and with thousands of stranded travelers and scarce law enforcement across the country, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of a civilized society no longer apply.

Jim is a prepper with years of planning under his belt, but as he puts his preparations to the test, he soon finds that training for a societal collapse is very different from actually experiencing one. If Jim wants to make it back to his family in one piece, he'll need to find the strength and brutality to meet this new, dangerous world head-on—even if it means rising to unimaginable levels of violence.

Downloaded over 100,000 times, The Borrowed World is a series that you'll find yourself listening to more than once.

Narrater was excellent. Every spare moment I got it was listening to the book. Captivating and so descriptive I imaged being there with the characters. Incredible series.

Story and characters

I enjoyed this 3 book box set. It was written in a way that was very realistic! I discussed some of the ideas with my husband who is a wannabe prepper. We can do better! I loved the gun and ammo talk! In Canada we can not legally carry even with a permit! If an EMP or terrorist attack happens here, we're in trouble!

The characters in the books are believable and likeable (for the most part!) and the situations are realistic. I don't think a guy like Jim (main character) would work in an office environment. He's the type of guy who works with his hands. Someone who is a builder, welder, farmer, or works in construction.

The narrator did a fantastic job! 5 stars across the board!

25 hours worth of survival

The first book starts off with action almost immediately and the other 2 keep it going. I’m invested in these characters and must continue the series - always a sign of a good book for me. It’s well written and well narrated. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent series

Awesome narration. Kevin Pierce is in my top 2 audiobook narrators. Now to the story! Really loved the story line and makes you think what would you do in this situation. You won’t be disappointed with this box.

Unexpectedly good

I have enjoyed the different storylines from characters with different perspectives in this series. It definitely makes you wonder how you would face the world if everything went sideways.

Great listen
