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.

Amazing finale to a great series!

Such a good story line and the subtle jabs towards the other series that franklin horton has wrote was a great touch! Definitely one of my favorite stories by my favorite author!

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.

Fitting end to a great series.

But I would still love to hear how the rebuilding goes. Would like to hear how the kids survived and how they reacted to dans story

Another great one!

Sorry that this is the end of the series, but it was a good ending!
So glad Kevin read it. His voice is so comforting.

Narration

Writing style is very good and clean. I enjoy it thoroughly and the narration is exquisite. The combination makes for a riveting experience.
I’ve become somewhat addicted to post apocalyptic audible books and Franklin Horton is one of my favorite, but I really think a big part of it is Kevin Pierce‘s narration.
I just wish Franklin was a little slutier. Not looking for smut, but a little more realism with life and human interactions as we know it, which I think would be much more important and on full display in a post apocalyptic world..

Meh

This book was good but missing something still, and the ending seemed rushed. Great narration as always with Mr. Pierce

Love the “Way of Dan”.

Sad to see this one come to a close as I love “the Way of Dan”. Wasn’t super impressed with this as the last book, maybe because I didn’t want to see it come to and end. The second half of the book seemed rushed and I didn’t feel I got the closure I needed as this series came to an end. I wanted more info on the kids and their saga and wanted to see what was next for Dan as he reintegrated into his community with Holly.

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!!!
