Resurgent

Book Nine in The Borrowed World Series

By: Franklin Horton

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

The fog of indecision has passed.
The struggle with guilt is over and the path forward is clear.
The Jim Powell who fought his way home in the days immediately after the disaster - who left a trail of blood and bodies across the state of Virginia - is back.

For a year now, Jim Powell has wrestled with his personal demons. As he watched people around him suffer and die, he harbored a secret guilt. He'd once wished for an event like the one America was now experiencing, dreaming of the great reset that would purge the nation of those who'd gone soft and weak.

As he discovered this past year, it was not only the weak that died, though. There was always collateral damage. Even the most prepared could die through random chance and bad luck. Each time a friend or loved one was lost, Jim felt a deep shame. Had his desire for a reset brought death and misery to his community? Had he manifested this?

Even if he couldn't accept blame for the state of the entire nation, there were other events that he was directly responsible for. He was prone to violent overreaction when he felt his freedom was being threatened. Unfortunately, his overreactions often made him and his family a target, such as when he destroyed a local power plant. In the aftermath, the government labeled him an insurgent and many in the community turned against him.

Hoping to keep his family safe, Jim faked his death and went into a period of self-exile. Traveling the mountains with his friend Lloyd, Jim got his head together. Now, he has a plan.

There will be no more living in the shadows and keeping a low profile. It's time to root out the people who threaten his family and attempt to turn his neighbors against him. This time he won't retaliate with words. Instead, he'll become the plague that scours his enemies from the face of the earth. He understands now that this is ultimately who he is and there is no option but to embrace it.

Loved

I loved this book by Franklin Horton. I also loved the characters. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I would recommend this book and all of this Franklin’s books. I listened to this book on audiobook.

No regrets

Always deliver and keeps us wanting more please continue story. We the people United always prevails.

Great writing and great story telling.

Have enjoyed Franklin Horton’s writing and the narration is by one of the best. A great combination.

Another good book in the series

I enjoyed this and it keep the story going. Good characters and plot. I like the narrator

Absolutely loved it!

This series just keeps going strong! One thing I like about The Borrowed World series is that the characters are based on regular people; not super hero, indestructible bad asses, but the people next door. The author also keeps prepping in the storyline, which I love.
Excellent book. Once again, well done, Franklin Horton !

The story just keeps getting better

While most series just continue to recycle the same events, this series continues to develop the characters and push into new areas. Looking forward to see where the story goes

love these books

I love every book in the series and more. keeps you engaged, shares good info and love the characters.

Can’t get enough!

I have read two complete series by Franklin Horton, and with each new release, I look forward to the next installment. The first book in the Borrowed World Series is an underrated gem. The entries that follow the first book are fun reads that don’t devolve into melodramatic soap operas or political lectures but convincingly place the reader in a post-apocalyptic America where difficult choices are made at every turn.

Great series

Loved this series. Gobbled it up in less than two weeks. A great read while running action packed

Great Book!!!

Mr Horton gave me some laughs and a scare or two with this one. I think book 8, Blood and Banjos was probably my least favorite of the BW series(not a bad book, just my least favorite of the series thus far), but Resurgent kicked it back up a notch. Never been a big book guy in my life, but this series will, at the very least, give you some awareness of the things that could likely happen in this post apocalyptic scenario. It’s given me better ideas on how I can be prepared for such an event. Great book. Great series. Great author. And Kevin Pierce, as Mr Horton himself said, gives his books a grandfatherly tone that I think pairs well with the series.
