D-Day in the Ashes

Ben and his rebs are at it agian kicking butt and taking names this time in Europe. I have read all of these books at one point or other and I have to say that this book was the point at which Johnstone gave up all attempts to stick to his old timeline. Was this due to the illness that would eventually take his life or just plian lazyness? Who knows? In the eariler days of the serise 1-15 there was some attempt on Johnstone's part to stick to the timeline where the war took place in 88 and the Tri-states lasted 10 years untill 1998. Here we see the first threads in the timeline breaking. During one of the liberal rants of the reporters she mentioned that one of the Red cross workers had voted for George Bush. Now considering the constrants of the timeline how could this be possible? It can't. The fact that eventually Johnstone forgot the old rules was harder for me to stomach then Ben nonstop lectures on his philosophy of life. Eventually you will give up on the books all together and read them solely for the sake of the hilarious charecter of Emile and his small troop.

A friend of mine loaned me the book, and he had it back within a week. Its a fast and easy read, but very entertaining. It is packed with conservative ideas and values. Ben Raines has become my hero. What an outstanding read. Highly recommended to all.

Once again, William W. Johnstone (and his fictional hero, Ben Raines) show readers how to bring law and justice to a world in chaos. Recommended!
