The Ashes of the Unknown

Sunset on America, Book 2

De: Ryan Schow

Narrado por: Kevin Pierce

He came home to a town in turmoil….

…and a brother he thought he’d lost forever.

But like an EMP strike, family ties wield immeasurable power.

Cody Banks destroyed his life before enlisting in the Marines. But tough decisions in America drained the military’s resources, leaving the nation vulnerable to attack. When Cody’s detachment returns to a powerless country, he finds himself steeped in the blood of a brand new war. His enemies are swift, brutal, and at times, scattered, but to get back to Burning Hollow, he must crawl through the middle of hell.

The battle for freedom is just beginning.

With casualties mounting and parts of the holler in ruin, the tides of power shift once more, ushering in an unexpected horror: enemies posing as saviors. The National Guard has shown up in Burning Hollow, but are they friend or foe? While Rowdy and Taylor fight to keep their family together, the cartel descends on the small town with a new, more terrifying agenda in place. But vengeance is a cruel mistress that cuts both ways, and not everyone will survive Pablo Santiago’s wrath.

Who will defend Burning Hollow from its many enemies?

With unknown forces at war around them, and bad factions posing as good, how can normal citizens tell friend from enemy? If the town is to survive a vindictive brother, a bloodthirsty cartel, a skilled vigilante, and an encroaching army, they must form a stronghold able to withstand asymmetric warfare and sabotage. But is this a case of too little too late? Or do they have a fighting chance?

Will there even be an America left standing at the end of this war?

Will an EMP strike and a collapsed society deliver a fatal blow to Burning Hollow? Or will its citizens dig in, protect their homesteads, and safeguard the community? With enemies everywhere, and a full-scale apocalypse on the horizon, will they have what it takes to survive? Would you?

Experience USA Today best-selling author and number one post-apocalyptic fiction author, Ryan Schow, at his very best in the series early readers are calling, “The perfect escape blend of Yellowstone, Legends of the Fall, and the apocalypse.”

Here we go again!

And now the story continues as we move deeper and deeper into the plot to take over America and rid it of all its' citizens. Once again, the roller coaster roared on with ups and downs too numerous to count. I cried, I laughed, and, most of all, I couldn't stop until it was time to move on to the next installment. Rowdy and Cody are quickly becoming the heroes of Burning Hollow although they have to fight both friends and enemies on the way. The only thing that is missing is a strong female character at their side even though side characters often save the day. Still, this is a great listen and I eagerly move on for more of the story in the next audiobook.

Another great entry

Definitely worth a listen, it is cool to listen to what Cody did to reach Burning Hollow. I also enjoyed the absurd moments with Bartholomew and Catrick Swayze. The only criticism I have is of the narrator, his voices for foreigners (Mexicans, Arabs, Russians, etc.) are all the same voice, and sound nothing like any of those, if I had to label it, I'd say it's like a Native American sounding voice, but it's just a minor thing.

WOW!!!

I loved this book and now I can’t wait to hear the rest of this series. Ryan made it hard to walk away due to the suspense and the way he weaves it together.

His strong characters leading the charge with real world facts and daily challenges to survive in the new world.

Kevin Pierce did an amazing job continuing the series. “The Voice of the Apocalypse” brings you into the story as if you are there among the chaos.

Just WOW!!!

Action Packed and suspenseful

There is a little lag when it comes to the love story but I still want to keep listening!
