Standoff in the Ashes

There can never be enough films or books about the dark drama of human conflict. In terms of tension, suspense, and relentless action, Standoff in the Ashes ranks right up there with the best of the genre, I put it on an equal level with classics like the Brotherhood of War books, Red Dawn, and The Triumph and the Glory.

This is a great book in a long line of great books. Enough Said

I could not put this one down .Mr Johnstone keeps us on the edge of our seat with this installment of Ben Raines Rebels.This series gives his readers a little hope for what the future could be like,or might just be like if we keep letting things go the way we are.Raines REBELS all the way.

I won't spoil anyone's reading, but this book had a cliffhanger style ending -- and I HATE cliffhangers! -- so that cost it one star.Still, an overall good read for the genre, in my humble opinion!

In the continuing "Ashes" series, author Johnstone has really issued a "page-turner" this time. It is all-out Civil War with the good guys being Ben Raines and his Rebel Army vs. a socialist/waco U.S. government. I could not put it down. I did not want it to end. The government that Johnstone has created, which the Rebels are defending, is a place that I would like to live. Too bad it exists only in Johnstone's mind and his creation. I have been following author Johnstone since the creation of this series, and he hasn't disappointed me yet. Great going Bill. When is the next book?
