After sending their families into hiding, the Saints know that the stakes have never been higher—they will succeed decisively or perish.

Nephew Vinny Moretti tires of the killings and wonders whether his uncle is going too far.

I have been so busy excited to read this book and I wasn’t disappointed.
It was a trilling end to an epic adventure which has had me hooked for the last 3 years.
Any of these characters could warrant their own movie and it will be a massive shockingly this doesn’t get picked up for film or Tv.
Loved it. Mr Robinson you are a genius

Since childhood Nila Carter has been made to spend every weekend at the family cabin. In her teenage years she believes it to be a prison; as an adult it becomes her sanctuary and means to survive. When a mysterious outbreak occurs in India, Nila's brother, Bobby, a virologist with the CDC, places the family on a precautionary alert to be ready to bug out. Unlike anything he's ever seen, the rabies-like virus is not just deadly; it causes extreme violent behavior in those infected.

Udo's biggest problem isn't being a digger (that's low class), or staying drunk (that's damn expensive), or avoiding the Dwergaz (they're monsters), or even pissing off the supposed Gods. It's that his reality...well, it isn't what he thought. And now, he can't even afford to drink because his so-called friend Nicz is cutting into his business, digging up tin, iron, and copper. So Udo forms a new plan: clay. After all, clay jars are used to store everything: meat, herbs, and, his personal favorite, ale.

This is a great book in a great series. I love the characters and the writing and narration are on point (as always from NSS and Ray Porter).
Surely this has to be picked up for tv or film, a sopranos or godfather for our generation.

If you enjoy action-packed thrillers, then don’t miss Brass Monkey, a novel international in scope, certain to offend some, and stimulate debate in others. Brass Monkey, from USA Today and million-copy best-selling author J. Robert Kennedy, pulls no punches in confronting the conflict between two of the world's most powerful, and divergent, religions, and the terrifying possibilities the future may hold if left unchecked.

I am beginning to feel this is my favourite series. The author can make you love a character almost instantly and with RC bray narrating it is the perfect partnership. Can’t wait for the next one. Also someone seriously needs to get the film rights for this it would be awesome.

Wow what a story
Reviewed: 01-06-20
I loved this book. I am a huge Devon c Ford fan. Once I worked out who the characters were and their view of the situation. I love that it doesn’t give you a full view of what’s happened at the start and gradually gives you the back story as you go along. Ray porter is excellent and I will definitely be listening to more of his work in the future. I just really hope the next book comes out soon so I continue the story.

This is well written and expertly performed by RC Bray who really brings these characters to life. I can’t wait for the next chance. And I hope gus can still get toilet paper by then😀

I was given this book free in return for an honest review.
This has the makings of a great series. I love the characters and the story is great. The main character is now one of my favourites and I personally love the quotes before each chapter.
The narration is great and I will now be looking for more books narrated by this guy. I couldn’t stop listening and can’t wait to listen to book 2.
