Ashes of the Unspeakable by Franklin Horton
4.0
4 Stars
What happens when the government is rendered impotent? What happens when there’s no electricity and food and gas run out? What happens when the military and law enforcement desert their posts to save themselves and their family?
As society devolves and reverts back over a 100 years into the past, the true mettle of man shows horrifically through, where desperation shapes actions.
Just as scary and sobering as the first, this continues to follow Jim and various other characters, as they struggle to survive by any means possible. You’ve got released prisoners, the mentally ill without their meds, people meting out their own brand of justice, all fighting to live another day. Again, this is definitely a conversation starter, if not to urge one to contemplate their own fragility in a world dominated by technology and the vulnerability wrought should it no longer be available.
