Free Locker Nine: A Novel Of Societal Collapse Ebooks To Download
Grace Hardwick's dad is a science fiction writer who makes his living destroying the world. When Grace decides to go away for her first year of college her dad, Robert, can't help but think of all of the potential ways that society could collapse and strand his daughter hundreds of miles from home. Then, near the end of her freshman year, it happens. Like a scene from one of Robert's books, coordinated terror attacks take place at dozens of locations around the country - including on the campus of Grace's university. Grace and her father barely have time for a single rushed phone call before they lose signal. In that call, Robert reminds his daughter of the key he gave her when she left for school - the key that she constantly wears around her neck. She doesn't know what it opens. She doesn't know where the engraved numbers will lead her. All she knows is that her dad is not the type to let her go hundreds of miles from home with no backup plan. With her roommate in tow, Grace embarks on a treacherous journey that may lead her home or may lead her right into the path of another stranded traveler - a disturbed gamer who sees nothing but opportunity in a world that now closely resembles that of his favorite video games.

Good read about a strong woman with an over-protective-daddy that pays off when terrorist strike the US. I like books that have strong female characters who can handle themselves. Good writing, character development, well developed story and oh yeah- lots of nasty bad guy stuff like the evil character Ray.
Here's a great book--in fact, it's great whether you are female or male, prepper or non-prepper! Great storyline with captivating storytelling. You'll want to read it as fast as you can, but you won't want it to end!
Another strong offering from great new author. Very interesting change of point of view from his prior series. Focusing on a young college student as the lead character brought a different perspective to the survivalist issues. Forcing her to travel such a distance after the attack was effective and carried the reader along on the trip. I found the supporting characters, good and bad, to be stronger than in Franklin's prior series (which was also a really good series). Plotting and pacing here seemed more even and built to a nice confrontation at the end. Don't wait, buy it and enjoy !!
A wonderful book and (hopefully) new series by Franklin Horton. I hope this is a start of another series for him. After the amazing story of 'The Borrowed World' trilogy, I'm always ready for more from this author.The story follows Grace in her first year of college. Everything is new and she has big plans for her upcoming summer break with her best friend, Zoe. When the world turns to chaos from a terrorist attack, her only message from her father is to go to locker nine, and it will help her get home.A journey home of 600 miles is daunting when she realizes that basic humanity is becoming a threat. Her own perseverance, determination, and the knowledge (and key) that her father gave her will be the only help she can count on.Do they have the supplies and the means to get home? Is there anyone who can help them? Can she and Zoe make it home safely? Will they survive this...two young girls against the world? The answers to some of those questions can be found in locker nine....when she can locate it.An outstanding story with action, a great pace, and an unfortunate but realistic glimpse of the depravity of humanity. I highly recommend this. Very well done!
Wow, the author certainly took me on a roller coaster ride with this story. My rating of three stars in no way reflects the author's skill in presentation, writing, character development, or story. All were excellent. I started out thinking that this tale was probably the best prepper story I've read. It features a prepared heroine, and a secondary storyline from a marauder's point of view (which I admit I did not understand at first why he added it...then I got it). The three stars stems from the discordance between the heroines understanding of and knowledge of prepper skills, to her total lack of real-world application of those skills. Some actions might be plausible and realistic, but I lost track of the number of times I sighed in exasperation at the plot turns. Sorry if that sounds too vague, but I'm limiting spoiler alerts for reviewers. I will recommend the book to anyone that likes dystopian fiction, just be prepared that you will be engaged with the main character, and disappointed in some of the things that happen to her. Great storytelling, just not the emotional roller coaster I want to ride again.
I really enjoyed Mr. Horton's other post-apocalyptic trilogy and this one promises to be even better! It's been awhile since a book made me cry but this one did; a feat very difficult to manage for anyone as my emotion center is adjusted due to medication.The story was believable, and a nice change your the usual EMP scenario. It actually scared me! I enjoyed learning about the weapons and hooking the rear sight to chamber a round- my concealed carry instructor didn't teach me that! :-)The mistakes the characters made were or are making were very believable too, and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
Excellent like Mr. Horton's other series (Borrowed World), but I didn't think the whole video game theme with Ray's story was very good. I felt it was kind of corny and weak. But overall I very much enjoyed this book, just like everything from the Borrowed World series, and couldn't stop reading it. This guy cannot write fast enough for me! Haha.
I have read dozens of books in the TEOTWAWKI post-apopolyptic genre; this one struck a chord. Strong, believable female roles, well developed characters ( both protagonists and antagonists), and good storyline. I hope a sequel is in the works.
