WILLIAM W. JOHNSTONE AWARDS
Johnstone is a recognized author who during his writing career won several awards. For instance, he was voted as the best-selling author of the USA today and New York bestselling author.
BEST WILLIAM W. JOHNSTONE BOOKS
These are the best two books by American bestselling author William W. Johnstone.
Out of the Ashes: The second book in Ashes series by Johnstone. The worst event has happened once again; a nuclear strike has destroyed and crippled America. Looters, gangs, and vandals have taken over the streets. The good few can only pray and hope that a leader will arise to protect them. Luckily, one of the few survivors, Ben Raines, a retired soldier, a rebel mercenary and a tireless patriot is in search of his missing family after the aftermath of the crippling war. His unfailing effort in pursuit of his family in the ruined cities of the West unites him with the resistance forces. These individuals become his recruits to serve as a revolutionary army aimed at rebuilding America. With the revolutionary army forging a way to rebuilding a once thriving nation brought down to ashes, the government forces strike again. Moreover, with the fate of the few American patriot hanging in the balance Raines vows to undertake whatever it takes in his capability to survive, find the whereabouts of his family and rebuild the fallen nation.
Fire in the Ashes: It is in the year 1999, and a nuclear holocaust has destroyed the entire world. A few of the survivors is Ben Raines a Vietnam veteran who good with the combat skills. Ben also served as a mercenary in Africa and after his retirement wrote some bunch of pulp fiction.
A stung by yellow jackets that give him “coma” somehow saves him from the nuclear attack on the US. He wakes up only to find himself in the apocalyptic world not knowing the whereabouts of his family, and in his quest to find his family he ends up being the leader of the revolutionary army.
As the greatest rebel enemy (the US government) comes down crushing their dreams, an even worst peril awaits them, indestructible breeds of people.
In summary, Johnstone was a prolific writer, and his legacy remains up to date. His stories were prophetic in a way whether, by sheer coincidence or design, they somehow predicted the social and political climate that exist in the modern world.
