About this listen
For the first time, all FOUR Highway books are offered in one as Ashes of Freedom. Get your copy today.
One Country.
One True Enemy.
Zero Hour.
When terrorists launch a devastating attack that brings America to its knees, two orphaned siblings and a retired Army major are unwittingly thrust into a war that will ultimately determine the fate of an entire nation. And the world.
As the U.S. crumbles and enemies both foreign and domestic push to take away everyone’s freedom, they will have to navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is as fleeting as survival.
Will they uncover the true enemy and save from the ashes what remains of their country?
Even if they succeed, a countdown to doomsday has started. Zero-hour approaches…
Previously published as HIGHWAY (books 1 through 4), all Amazon #1 best-sellers.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
