The Borrowed World Box Set, Volume One: Books 1-3

By: Franklin Horton

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

This special box set edition of The Borrowed World Series contains the full text of books 1-3 of the best-selling series: The Borrowed World, Ashes Of The Unspeakable, and Legion Of Despair. This series has garnered tens of thousands of 4 and 5 star reviews.

If society fell apart, could your family survive? Jim Powell thought he was ready. He was a regular guy who travelled a lot for work and hated every second he was away from his young family. But when ISIS operatives unleashed a coordinated attack on America’s infrastructure, his entire world shattered. The electrical grid collapsed, communication networks were damaged, critical bridges and dams were destroyed, and major fuel refineries have gone up in massive fiery clouds.

Now, with an Executive Order halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament. He's trapped hundreds of miles away from his family, and with thousands of stranded travelers and scarce law enforcement across the country, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of a civilized society no longer apply.

Jim is a prepper with years of planning under his belt, but as he puts his preparations to the test, he soon finds that training for a societal collapse is very different from actually experiencing one. If Jim wants to make it back to his family in one piece, he'll need to find the strength and brutality to meet this new, dangerous world head-on—even if it means rising to unimaginable levels of violence.

Downloaded over 100,000 times, The Borrowed World is a series that you'll find yourself listening to more than once.

SO GOOD

I love Franklin Hortons books and read by Kevin Pierce tops the cake. Interesting story line and charecters.

Real deal

Story is realistic no need for Zombies or Aliens shows how humans will react if such of an event ever takes place. Lots of detail u can tell that the author did his homework.

Page turner, filled with action and attitude

This series is a page turner and difficult to put down. The characters are engaging and varied. There is someone for everyone. That said, I am exhausted by the never ending violence. I, as well as the characters, would like a little time to enjoy a day filled with sunshine, family, and laughter. I am putting the series down for a while for some respite from the constant threats of bad neighbors, conniving townsfolk, bully government officials , and verbal abuse from “family”. I will return at some point to finish the journey…I expect to see draught, famine, forest fires and hurricanes yet to come to the valley. Made it to volume 10…

A Great Listen

I have purchased the next three Audible books in this series because these first three are so good. The characters are all believable and the children are not whiners (like in other post apocalyptic books). And Kevin Pierce is an accomplished reader. He makes it so compelling. In fact I'm wondering how much of the feelings -- not actions -- but feelings are the authors re: growing up etc.
The language is always a bit much, but if you can get past that you'll enjoy the read/listen.

Great story…

Love the Box Set vol 1. Can’t wait to start Volume 2. I have become a Prepper over the last few years. I like listening to this genre for tips, things I haven’t thought of. This series was great for that. I really like the narrator too.
