Brandon

Book Two in the Defeated Creek Series

De: Franklin Horton

Narrado por: Shannon McManus

The latest installment in Franklin Horton's Borrowed World/Mad Mick/Locker Nine universe, this is the long-anticipated story of what happened to Brandon when he walked out of the Locker Nine series and into the dense forests of Southwestern Virginia.

America is unraveling like an old sock. The power is out, cell phones aren’t working, and the only fuel available is what people can scrounge up on their own. In the remote hollows of central Appalachia, the only law comes from the local residents and their willingness to pull the trigger.

Brandon is a former sniper and military contractor making his way home through the mountains when a run-in with two local criminals nearly costs him everything. Broken and alone, miles from anyone he knows, he has to crawl back from the edge with nothing but determination and a stubborn refusal to die.

When he’s taken in by a hard-edged woman named Willie and the ragged group of young people she calls family, Willie only asks for one thing in return. She wants Brandon to train her family to fight because she knows they’re no longer in the world where the dream is to live happily ever after. The best they can hope for now is merely to survive and she wants to give them the best chance possible.

loved this continuing story

For those of you who don't know, this is sort of a Book 2, to Willie. It also connects to his other books which is very cool! Loved this book and hope there is another in the works! I rarely buy the audible books with female narrators because the higher pitch gives me a headache lol, but this narrator was awesome! Spot-on with the characters.

Excellent

I thought that as usual this was a great book. Looking forward to the next book. Brandon was a story that I enjoyed
. He was the guy I never thought would be pushed by those terrible guys.

Impossible to stop once you get started

Another fantastic book from Mr Horton. I think I’ve read about everything he’s written at least twice and this one will follow in those footsteps.

He Does It Again

Franklin Horton does it again with another banger. Great way to bring together two different storylines. I hope this storyline continues. Thanks for bring this to life

Another great book

The second book is even better than the first in the series, an excellent book and looking forward to the next
