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.

I've just started into E-books. It is a great substitute to just droning out to music. The Way of Dan is a great write. It had me laughing at times; then captured during intense battles. A well put together storyline that makes you not want to turn it off.

great way to pass the time

I went into this on a whim and ended up binging the entire 5 book, 40+ hour box set in two days. I listened at 2x and read on Kindle when I was not on audio because I did not want to stop. This series yanked me right out of a reading slump.

The story starts fast and never really lets up. Dan is a pot smoking hippy who flies across the country to help his dead best friend’s mom, and from there everything just keeps getting bigger and wilder. I loved watching Dan and Holly grow together and meeting all the people they pick up along the way. There is revenge, found family, small town mountain living, weird culty groups, and enough tension that I was clenched half the time, but it never turns into over the top sci fi or cartoon violence.

Kevin Pierce is perfect for this. His voice fits the world and he keeps the action clear even in the most chaotic scenes. It felt like listening to a very long movie in my head.

If you like fast, gritty, post apoc stories with lots of action, memorable side characters, and just the right amount of “what the hell did I just listen to,” this box set is absolutely worth a credit.

I am honestly sad to say goodbye to Dan, Holly, Krin, Bird, and the rest, and I will be diving into Franklin Horton’s other series next.

totally worth the credit!!

This to me has been one of the best books I’ve ever listened to, the characters of Holly and Dan seem to hit home because they seem to be from my era.
Do yourself a favor and get this book

I'm not sure if this was meant to be a comedy or not. I think it was hard to get behind the lead character because he was so out there. With the situation they were in I just feel he wasn't taking anything seriously. How are you smoking weed in getting drunk in a life or death situation!

The hard read!
