Synopsis

The complete set containing all the books in Franklin Horton's bestselling THE WAY OF DAN series—a post-apocalyptic revenge thriller about one man's journey through the ruins of his world, his life, and his soul. Sometimes the story of an apocalypse isn’t one of tragedy, but one of opportunity.... Dan Slaughter's life is already a slow-motion car crash. Burned out from a soulless job and still reeling from his wife's death, he gets a call that sends him cross-country to Boise. His best friend, Carl, a free-spirited musician, is dead—an alleged drug overdose that Dan absolutely refuses to believe. What starts as a solemn duty to settle an estate quickly spirals into a fight for survival. Carl’s house holds more than just old guitars; it hides a dark secret, drawing Dan into a violent underworld and exposing him to Carl's dangerous associates. Then, when it seemed that things couldn't get any worse, the world goes dark. A devastating EMP strike silences engines, cripples technology, and plunges society into chaos. Trapped thousands of miles from home in a city teetering on the brink, Dan is forced to embrace the Tennessee boy he'd kept buried for most of his adult life. Now Dan finds himself on a path of unrelenting vengeance. But in a world without rules, where justice is a bullet and every step is a gamble, how far will this unlikely avenger go? And can a cynical ex-cop named Holly Turner convince him there's a life beyond settling scores, even as the city quite literally burns around them? From Franklin Horton, the best-selling author of The Borrowed World and The Mad Mick series, comes a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller about loyalty, survival, and the dark rebirth of one man’s soul.
