Rod's POV

The opinions of the main character, Ben Raines, are so far from "Politically Correct" that I can't help but love the guy like a brother. This book in the series is set in New York City. Along, long time ago I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I haven't live ther for a long time and this book was like a trip home. It's not great literature but it is a fun easy read. It also may chnage the way you think about criminals and the courts.

The Soldier

this is by far the best series i have ever read, its like red dawn, the tommorow series, and all the stories from WW1, WW2 the korean war and vietnam all rolled into one. all self respecting americans should read this series. be they millitary, civilian, law enforcement, judicial, and most deffinitly politicions.

Trapped in the Ashes

The Ashes series has 33 books so far and all are wonderful. Infact you not only will get hooked but waiting for the next is hard. Ben Rains is a super star trying to put the world right after postwar anarchy. His adventures go from the USA to Europe and beyond. He gets in trouble where ever he goes and you feel like you are right beside him. All Americans need to read this series and clean up America. His problem solving would work today. Trapped in the Ashes is set in New York City where mutant cannibals (night people) have taken over and he needs to clean them out and save the few normal people who are hiding within. Great clean adventure.

New York, New York, the city so nice they destroyed it twice

Ben and his rebels are trapped in New York. Khamsin has arrived, along with Sister Voleta, to see to it that Ben Raines breathes no more. With the night People and the other two seemingly having Ben and his people trapped, ben makes a decision that will weigh upon his mind forever - do they lie down and die, or do they do the unthinkable and destroy the great city of New York? A brilliant strategic move helps to make his decision for him, resulting in the most amazing turn of events that will have you reeling! It seems that as soon as Ben's back is against the wall, help comes from the oddest of places. Perhaps the rumors about Ben Raines are true.......
