Publisher's summary

Battle Lines is the fifth book in Dr. Bradley's Survivalist series. Series Order: Frontier Justice, Anarchy Rising, Judgment Day, Madness Rules, Battle Lines, and Finest Hour.

Description: Convinced that a militia leader holds the key to finally exacting justice, Deputy Marshal Mason Raines enters the destroyed city of Lexington. Traveling with the unlikeliest of allies, he must confront mutated survivors of the Superpox-99 virus as well as an elite group of military assassins sent to clean up evidence of President Pike's crimes.

Meanwhile, Tanner and Samantha discover that their Naval Observatory hideaway isn't as safe as they would have liked to believe. Forced to once again travel the roads, they face all new threats, including bloodthirsty animals, and survivalists with a twisted system of justice. When they come face-to-face with patient zero, not only does the origin of the virus become clear but also a glimmer of hope for mankind's last survivors.

With sanity continuing to slip away, President Pike orders the abduction and murder of General Carr. As plans falter and allies depart, he is forced to accept that a larger showdown is coming. Battle lines are being drawn, and in the end, only the most ruthless will be left standing.

This is the best SHTF series in my opinion

Would you listen to Battle Lines again? Why?

I just love this series. I really do. Good wins (or indications are that it will...with or without the death of the protagonists, we shall see). Great characters. Realistic situations. I have listened to dozens (sad, isn't it??) of this genre and I can't think of any that come close...maybe Day-by-Day, but not really. Just the best.

Highly recommend this series

Dr. Arthur Bradley does an excellent job bringing different pieces of the story together. This book is fast-paced and packed with action, while bringing out a variety of emotions. I love the characters! Their characteristics are so well defined, I feel like I know them and could predict their actions. Excellent addition to the series.

John David Farrell is perfect for this book. His narration style, inflection, voice and accents are spot on; he definitely adds to the story.

I love this series.

I have read around a 100 post apocalyptic novels and this series definitely makes my top ten if not top five. Can't wait to find out how it ends.

worth listening to twice

Other than a helicopter having a "driver" it's still enjoyable and worth listening to twice.
