Resumen del Editor

In his best-selling novels, The Borrowed World and Ashes of the Unspeakable, Franklin Horton showed us a nation facing societal collapse from a coordinated ISIS attack on the American infrastructure. Most of the country is without power, communication, and fuel. As a result of the attack, a group of business travelers in Virginia found themselves among the millions stranded on the highways with no idea how they would be getting home.

In this third installment, Legion of Despair, the country is teetering on the brink of anarchy. While one of the stranded travelers, Jim Powell, made it home and is working to establish a safe, sustainable enclave for his family, his co-workers Gary and Alice are not faring as well. After spending hundreds of painful miles dreaming of his reunion with his family, Gary arrives home only to find his family under attack. Now he must face the painful decision as to whether his family's plan to bug-in is viable or whether they may need greater numbers and a better location to survive in this collapsing nation.

While Gary's homecoming is bittersweet, he has at least found his way into the arms of his family. His co-worker, Alice, has awakened on the cold, concrete floor of a basement in Bluefield, Virginia. She is bound and chained to a support column. She doesn't know if she will ever see her son or husband again. All she knows for certain is that the man in front of her has already brutally killed her friend, Rebecca, and unless she finds a way out, he will kill her, too.

Another great book from Franklin Horton

What made the experience of listening to Legion of Despair the most enjoyable?

Kevin Pierce is a great narrator. He captures the characters and brings them to life.

Any additional comments?

Franklin Horton is a great writer and I always look forward to his new releases. Actually, his books are the only ones I have listened to more than once. This book does not disappoint. The story remains off the standard story line for this genre and provides the reader with fresh scenes not typical of the other books/stories in the apocalypse scenarios.

I highly recommend reading the entire series. As you read a series you always take a chance on the stories quality dropping off after a while. I have not found this to happen with Horton's books and can't wait for his next installment.

As good as the first two

A great continuation of the first two. I'm hoping there's a fourth. I recommend the series!

once again the book was good. But,

good book,good story, good actor but, once again the author and audible robbing people of their hard earned money in series books so they have to spend money on credits rather than selling it as 1 book instead of six or seven. making the entire book start to finish over 100 dollars. robbing people to profit

Amazing Story! Gripping Drama!

What did you like best about this story?

This story is not about some apocalyptic zombie attack or medical catastrophe, but a realistic theory of something that could plausibly happen ... terrorist destruction of the American infrastructure. The story is well written and believable.
