Would you try another book from Franklin Horton and/or Kevin Pierce?
Yes, I am planning on finishing this story.
If you’ve listened to books by Franklin Horton before, how does this one compare?
This is the best writing Horton has done so far.
What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Pierce’s voice is comforting and brings an “every-man” quality to the story.
Did Ashes of the Unspeakable inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to finish the story and to read book 3. I really wasn’t giving much hope to this story after book 1 but thought I would at lease try book 2 and I am glad I did.
Any additional comments?
I was pleasantly surprised with this book and am really looking forward to finishing book 3. As with my first review on Horton’s books though he still needs to work on his timing doing more storytelling and less cataloging. Some of the best disaster books I have read (Alas, Babylon, One Second After, etc.) don’t get lost on who is carrying what. For example if you are talking about a generator call it a “portable gas powered generator” and move on instead of calling it a “Honda EU2000I 2000 Watt Inverter Generator with a modified steel beam welded cage surrounding the housing preventing it from electrostatic discharge..blah, blah, blah”.
