Excellent apocalyptic series that's well written AND chocked full of action
Format: Paperback
Often times with books or even films, you have a great story and premise, but the execution falls flat and leaves you unfulfilled and wanting more. That amazing story is in there somewhere but sadly, it never made it out to fruition. But not here! Franks has crafted an amazing yarn with multiple aspects that keep the reader engaged and engrossed in both the incredible story and the characters. I loved EVERY part of it. Intelligent story telling + excellent action also doesn't always mix but Franks stirred that unique cocktail up and it went down smooth and satisfying. Well done! My only qualm is that it ended and there isn't more to read and explore. But, never say never and hopefully there's more of the AG survivors story as they take their next adventure post-council, post Messengers and post pandemic, wherever it may lead. ... show more

Enjoyable read
Format: Kindle
I struggle a bit reviewing this book. Mostly it’s the same old suspiciously lucky, can do no wrong, everyday man dealing with the unexpected apocalypse. It has the same old trope of Joe protagonist being far away from home and needing to get back to his family. What I enjoyed about this book is that it is not your typical prepper porn preaching about all those stupid sheep whose only role in life is to feed the cannons of apocalypse. There is certainly some of this, but it never feels preachy or forced. The author also avoids gun and vehicle porn...where they spend paragraphs talking about the wonderful gear/guns/monster 4x4s they have/find/steal. All in all the story feels grounded and remains believable...well, the conspiracy stuff is a bit heavy handed. It progresses logically, our hero’s make mistakes with consequences and all ends up in a frankly heartbreaking finale. This book is certainly worth your time...so much so that I am moving on to another of his books. ... show more

Phenomenal series...One of the best I have ever read in my 58 years
Format: Paperback
I have never read books written by JK Franks before now...never even heard of the books or the author. Because self sufficiency and survival prep are part of my family's daily life, I use social media to learn about those subjects. That being said, a post about this book series came across my FB feed. I am also, even more so, an avid book reader. The post really intrigued me, so I bought the first book in the series. I was completely hooked w/in the first chapter and I ordered the other three books in the Catalyst series. Although, the books are works of fiction, they really really make a person think about how great of a detrimental impact a world wide EMP or CME or nuclear bombing or even an intentional lethal pandemic would have on society. The story and its characters are very real. The author has done his homework and bases the mass majority his story on actual government reports and studies. When reading the story and remembering that bit of information, the implications of how very real this could become for us should scare the hell out of you realizing exactly how much power the world owners have over governments and the global population. For me, the books not only provide a riveting story, they also provide some invaluable golden nuggets about what is needed to not only survive a catastrophic event, but plan and work hard, really hard, for the future in a world where the human species becomes 95% extinct due to intentional genocide. Buy the books now. ... show more

Great read
Format: Paperback
Love this series and I’m glad that I found this author will search out other books of his now. Like many others I think there is more that could be followed on from this series.

A learning experience
Format: Kindle
I have read many books in this genre and enjoyed most, however, American Exodus: a Post-Apocalyptic Journey tops them all. It's another 'trying to get home' story with believable characters and storyline. It is well crafted and told by one of the characters, Steve, an owner of Ford dealerships in the south. He is well to do, lives in an exclusive neighborhood, and can have anything he wants. When a solar flare reaches Earth, it kills everything electrical / electronic - no cars, radios, TV, computers...everything Steve depended on for survival. Now, at a convention several hundred miles away, he learns that he is not prepared to survive in this Apocalypse but will give anything to get back home to his wife and autistic son. Odds are extrememly high that he'll never make it. During the first day after the event, Steve meets with a sole survivor in the hotel and joins him in the bar for drinks. Steve shares a few and learns from the old Australian man what might have happened. He also gives Steve some sound advice that saves him during the initial part of his journey. He's got several hundred miles to cover in reaching home and meets various types of people on the way; and soon partners up with another man and preteen orphan boy who agree to help him get home. The man claims to have worked for the government but he is extremely smart and has strong survival skills. Along the way, both Steve and the boy learn from this person and readers can see them both grow during this journey. A side story also takes place in the government and a successor is named the new president of the U.S. However, she must abide by a script that others have presented to her or... Roving bands of armed people are out scavaging and killing innocent people to take what they have. Armed soldiers, mercenaries, were also herding civilians from their homes and into special camps for their own safety; they're promised that the government will take care of them, but why do many believe they're like Nazi concentration camps? The new presidents' cabinet also inform her that Europe and Asia are almost fully engulfed with a virus that doesn't have a cure. And some military groups refuse to acknowledge the new president and go rogue. Was all this planned? American Exodus can be a stand alone novel - I didn't read any of the other books in the series and felt comfortable in reading this one. The ending does leave it ripe for another installment, but I was satisfied with it as it was. If another continuation comes out in the future, I will surely go out of my way to read it. The author has an excellent flare for bringing readers into the story...and many are sure to learn from it as I did. Highly recommended! ... show more

loved ut
Format: Kindle
The characters were believable to me and i appreciated a protagonist (s) that were not gung ho survivalist/action heroes. I always appreciate southern settings and this book in the series had a great flow. I found it really enjoyable.

Great Book and Series!
Format: Paperback
A slight detour from the previous books in the series, but the next book does round things up very nicely! I liked the characters and felt like I knew them. Cheered them on, cried for them and even became hateful of the ones trying to hurt them. Great character development in all the series! This series was my first apocalyptic type read. I ventured out from my normal genre and very pleasantly surprised. I will be looking for more like this now! ... show more
