Don't stop the ride...I want to keep going!

Blood in the Ashes is terrific! Just when you get the idea that William Johnstone is going to bore us with the IPF and Hartline, he takes a wild twist. It has been talked about for decades by sociologists that should a disaster of this magnatude happen, cults of all types would rise up around the world. The Ninth Order is as despicable as Sam Hartline, only more of them. And the surprising discovery that Ben makes concerning Sister Voleta is enough to have your eyes popping out and re-reading it to see if what you thought you read was really that. This is also another great example of how each installment of the Ashes series is a book unto itself, but a part of the whole story. Sit down, strap yourself in, and get ready for a wild ride. Just don't expect the story to slow down long enough to get off..and who would want to?

It's covered in Blood and Politics!

The book is filled with sex and violence, at times reaching disgusting levels. However, it is also full of love, compassion, and hope despite all odds. The bad guys (and girls)are evil, so in return, the main character, Ben Raines must be equilly ruthless. Hopefully Blood in the Ashes will serve as a wake up call to all out-of-closet liberals that are demolishing the American dream of an independant, hard working, educated people.

Great writing.

This book is full of deciet, while it doesnt fool you, the reader, it fools the characters of the book pretty well. It's got a bit of everything in it: betrayel, double-crosses, prisons, sex, violence, no rock and roll but I am sure you people can live without it.
