About this listen

The Rotten Belly Society was an order that existed among some Native Americans tribes of the Great Plains. The members of this society were compelled by powerful visions to devote their lives to being contrarians. In simple terms, they did things backwards for the purpose of educating people on how to behave properly. A similar principle was seen on a popular t-shirt of the 1980s that said, “I’m not useless—I can be used as a bad example.”

Then there's Dan...

The paths we follow through life aren’t always straight. The struggles we face are not always obvious to the people around us. The journey is messy, painful, and we do not escape it alive.

In this final installment in The Way of Dan Series, Dan’s journey home isn’t the only challenge he’s facing. Besides the ever-present danger of traveling across post-apocalyptic America, there are the personal demons that have pursued Dan across the country and across the years.

A part of Dan feels too old and stubborn to change. Another part of him is beginning to understand that change is constant, and the journey only ends if we give up. That is the Way of Dan.

One of my favorite series.

I've enjoyed every installment in the series. This book was no exception.
It further built on the characters of the previous books in the series and added a few new ones.

WOW!

I have to say THANK YOU , Franklin, for finishing this incredible series. Big shout out to the Man, the Legend, Mr. Kevin pierce for giving so much life to this incredibly heartfelt, exciting series. You don’t know me from Adam. You’ll get to know these characters and fall in love with all involved, including this amazing author. Just try one. You’ll soon understand how this writer/narrator is pure magic.

hell of a way to end it.

An absolutely perfect ending to one of my favorite series. I could see some spin offs coming from this.

Excellent!!!

I got thru this book way tooo fast and now I have nothing to read! LOL This is a great series. My favorites are this one and the first book. I hope Horton keeps writing fast! This and the Borrowed World series are really the Best in the genre followed by Locker Nine. I highly recommend to anyone who likes action with great relatable characters who are also on the amusing side!!!
Great stuff!!!
