The Fury of the Forsaken

The Borrowed World Series, Book Twelve

By: Franklin Horton

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

The light died and darkness descended…

For technician Josie and her team, the sudden collapse of the Lightspeed wireless grid was more than just the end of a job– it was the beginning of a terrifying nightmare. Stranded, abandoned, and under siege at one of Lightspeed's aid centers, their only chance at safety is a perilous trek to a nearby community they hope will offer refuge.

In the rugged mountains of Virginia, Jim Powell leads a hardscrabble community clinging to survival. They’ve carved a life out of the ruins, restoring safety and a sense of purpose, but they’ve also endured violence, devastating loss, and crushing despair.

When Josie’s team shows up, they bring a terrifying truth: America’s collapse has created a vacuum, and powerful, ruthless players are moving in. Now, Jim, a reluctant leader who never wanted the job, must make a choice that will define the fate of his community: fight alone against overwhelming odds, or make a perilous alliance with a steep and uncertain price.

New characters

Loved this book. Hope the next book comes out soon. Love the characters old and new. Really enjoy Kevin Pierce narrating.

Amazing character development

I LOVE this series. Ive loved the action and the practicality of the way the events unfold. Mr Hortons writing ability really came through in this one with the introduction of Garnet. The more you learn of him the more your heart breaks for him. I havent been the least disappointed in any book in this series and this book is no exception. I cant wait for the next one.

Kevin knows how to narrate. Franklin really delivers a great post apocalyptic book.

Five stars, if you are new to post apocalyptic books or been a long time fan for both Kevin Pierce and Franklin Horton. This is an excellent series to digest. Cannot wait for the next books.

Another Winner!!!

I do love this series! I can not get enough.The characters are really amazing! I finished this in one day and listened to it again a few more times! I can’t wait for the next installment! This is the best of all of Horton’s series and it shows. He is my new favorite author! The Borrowed World needs to keep coming with many more books! Also the narration is perfect! Great voice for this series.

Franklin Horton never disappoints I have listened to his whole bibliography by far my favorite author. His story telling is unmatched and scary makes my drives home very fast. Every book I have listened to have been nothing but a 10 star. Can't wait for the next one
