Burning Down Boise: Book One in The Way of Dan

Sometimes the story of an apocalypse isn’t one of tragedy, but one of opportunity... Dan Slaughter's life is already a slow-motion car crash. Burned out from a soulless job and still reeling from his wife's death, he gets a call that sends him cross-country to Boise. His best friend, Carl, a free-spirited musician, is dead—an alleged drug overdose that Dan absolutely refuses to believe. What starts as a solemn duty to settle an estate quickly spirals into a fight for survival. Carl’s house holds more than just old guitars; it hides a dark secret, drawing Dan into a violent underworld and exposing him to Carl's dangerous associates. Then, when it seemed that things couldn't get any worse, the world goes dark. A devastating EMP strike silences engines, cripples technology, and plunges society into chaos. Trapped thousands of miles from home in a city teetering on the brink, Dan is forced to embrace the Tennessee boy he'd kept buried for most of his adult life. Now Dan finds himself on a path of unrelenting vengeance. But in a world without rules, where justice is a bullet and every step is a gamble, how far will this unlikely avenger go? And can a cynical ex-cop named Holly Turner convince him there's a life beyond settling scores, even as the city quite literally burns around them? From Franklin Horton, the bestselling author of The Borrowed World and The Mad Mick series, comes a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller about loyalty, survival, and the dark rebirth of one man’s soul.
