Publisher's summary

The Mad Mick’s new employer, Walter Lightspeed, has promised great things for America. Lightspeed cleared the way for his rise to power by skimming the dead weight off government, assassinating a legion of career politicians, lobbyists, and agency heads. Now only one barrier remains between him and the presidency—wrangling the support of the military.

If he lives that long.

Conor and Ricardo have their concerns about Lightspeed, but that’s not enough to make them surrender their lucrative contract work with him. If Lightspeed can do the things he promises, their small company will be well-positioned in his new administration. In fact, Conor is already making major changes in preparation for it, taking steps back home he thought he'd never take.

But great reward only comes with great risk. As Conor soon finds out, it’s not only Walter Lightspeed and his employees who share in those risks. When you operate at this level, even family becomes fair game.

The " Mad Mick" has had my attention for over 2 years. The story is excellent, I couldn't pit it down. Thank you Mr. Horton and Mr. Pierce.

another good book from Franklin!!!

I really enjoy the mad Mick series. I wish it would of been longer. O but it needs more joking around. I love the dad and daughter going back and fourth with each other. this book was missing that or just more screwing with each other. The ending is o wow what is next!!!!! I give this book a A or a B+ over all.

Amazing

Mr. Horton is in the zone! His fluid writing makes for an easy read. Character development has always been one of his strong points and this title doesn't disappoint. You tell from Kevin Pierces performance that he enjoys reading for Franklin. The way he portrays the authors characters shows without question why he is labeled the voice of the apocalypse. - Pete Robertucci

Best so far.

This was the best and most intense story in the series yet. the Mad Mick needs a non woke tv show of his own.

the most realistic post apocalyptic books

the best post apocalyptic set of books ever. the borrowed world and mad mick are a must read. Conner(mad mick) isn't your run of the mill hero, he's such a bad ass though. franklin horton is a great author and must be a prepper of sorts. Kevin pierce diffently is the best choice to narrate this story. once you start listening it's almost impossible to stop.
