Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy survival fiction with a grounded, realistic take on infrastructure collapse and human behaviour under extreme stress.
  • You're drawn to protagonists who are ordinary people forced to evolve quickly, making impossible choices to protect those they love.
  • You want a long series investment that's been proven popular across formats, with genuinely high reader satisfaction.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer character-driven literary fiction over plot-driven narratives with sustained tension and action sequences.
  • You're uncomfortable with depictions of violence or morally grey decision-making in survival scenarios.
  • You're looking for hopeful, uplifting stories rather than dark explorations of what people become when civilisation fails.

About this book

This box set contains the first three books of The Borrowed World Series by Franklin Horton: The Borrowed World, Ashes Of The Unspeakable, and Legion Of Despair. The series has received tens of thousands of 4 and 5 star reviews across audio, paper, and ebook formats. Jim Powell is a regular man who travels frequently for work and misses his young family. When ISIS operatives launch a coordinated attack on America's infrastructure, society collapses. The electrical grid fails, communication networks are damaged, critical bridges and dams are destroyed, and major fuel refineries burn. An Executive Order halts fuel sales to the public. Jim finds himself hundreds of miles from his family, stranded among thousands of travelers with limited law enforcement presence. The distance home becomes a dangerous journey where civilized rules no longer apply. Though Jim is a prepper with years of planning, he discovers that preparing for societal collapse differs greatly from experiencing it. To reunite with his family, he must adapt to a new, violent world. The series has been downloaded over one hundred thousand times.
