Publisher's summary

When newcomers arrive in Conor Maguire's territory, they bring word of an enemy approaching from the north. They wear military uniforms, carry military weapons, and drive military trucks. Like a plaque of locusts, they sweep through every town in their path and pick it clean. In their wake, they leave ashes and atrocity.

When it appears this enemy is on a collision course with their community, Conor must build an army to intercept them. This is no easy task since his daughter's abrasive manner has divided the community. Their hasty alliance will be tested. Roles and relationships will be challenged.

Against this larger, more highly trained force, it falls on Conor to do what he does best. To rain chaos, savagery, and utter devastation upon his enemy. After all, there's a reason they call him "The Mad Mick".

The Mad Mick Series is a post-apocalyptic fan favorite. There's no prepper tips or helpful information, just fast-paced post-apocalyptic adventure.

The Mad Mick does not disappoint!

What you see is what you get. This third book in the series is a worthy addition to what has become one of the most memorable characters in the post-apocalyptic genre. Straightforward, detailed, and full of action. This is the Franklin Horton trademark and it's at its best in Brutal Business. You'll enjoy it!

Franklin Horton’s Best Book Yet!

Horton is truly my favorite Post Apocalyptic writer bar none. This book does not disappoint. He and Kevin Pierce make a formidable team in the audiobook arena. You never know where Franklin is going to take you but you can bet it’s going to be interesting. I highly recommend ‘‘tis and all of his book series.

The Mad Mick strikes again!

Franklin Horton is such a descriptive writer who brings the characters to life; or makes the reader feel they have the skills he describes. I love Connor aka Mad Mick. He is such a kick-butt character. And as always Kevin Pierce did an amazing job narrating this book!

Loved

I loved this book by Franklin Horton. I also loved the characters especially Mad Mick and Barb they can be hilarious at times. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I would recommend this book and all of Franklin’s books. I listened to this book on audiobook and Kevin Pierce did a great job with the narration.

Mad Mick vs the Bond

Love, love, love listening to Kevin Pierce read. His talent is well suited for the Apocalyptic Scenario in general and in particular, Mad Mick.

This time the Mad Mick's daughter has some growing up to do, because the "Bond" is coming their way and they'll need the whole community to help. Doc and his daughter Shannon are going through growing pains too. The Bond is something else so Mick has to use guerilla tactics against these "werewolf Preppers" (those who'd rather murder and steal from the more prepared instead of preparing themselves). It's a wonderful thing that he doesn't opt to just push the Bond into a different direction. Enjoyed it!!

Another home run by Franklin Horton!

Book 3 in the Mad Mick series is a blockbuster of post-apocalyptic fiction! Non-stop action, a believable story and great characters! Franklin has a great writing style that keeps you on the edge of your seat and Kevin Pierce’s narration skill is outstanding! His ability to change tone and inflection for different characters while maintaining consistency makes you feel like you’re actually listening to the characters themselves. Well worth a listen. I loved it!
