  • A learning experience
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

  • Why are you just sitting there?
Pretty thorough. Get busy. Prep costs little, no prep costs everything. Think and then do, rest later. None of the ready-fire-aim though.

  • Enjoyable read
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

  • Book 3 of the Catalyst series did not disappoint
This book by JK Franks takes a different slant on his previously published series. It is a story that might be about you or me when the Big Crunch hits. The Sun has belched out a massive flare that unfortunately hits the Earth full force, wiping out almost every electric grid. We are on a business trip, unprepared for this huge calamity and with minimal survival skills. We have family at home, far away. What do we do? Read the novel for one man's story of challenge and make do. It could be us, sooner than we think. ... show more

  • a worthy addendum.
Overall, a good series. This story is a stand-alone extra that fits into the primary story line. I don’t know if these characters will fit into the later books in the series, or simply be unattached background. I imagine I’ll have to read the next book to find out.

  • PROFANITY ALERT! Still a VERY well written story.
I'm editing my review since reading Book One and Book Two of the Catalyst series. I truly detest the profane language. I'm not a purist angel, I just do not care for profanity on any level. I know it exist and that many people use it, even the characters developed in these stories. That being said, and after becoming immersed in this author's writing style, JK Franks is an outstanding author. His books are real page turners. This story is a tale of how things really could turn out for some people and what they may have to endure. Realistic, meaty, funny, tragic, heroic, and you, the reader, get transported to another time and place without so much as leaving your recliner. ... show more

  • great read!
not sure about the blimp ride but the rest of the book was an outstanding read, very independent from the others in the series with new characters but same back drop!

  • A Gripping Tale of Post-Apocalyptic Survival
I've read a few Post-Apocalyptic Get Home books, and the story lines often feel pretty familiar. American Exodus is a wonderful exception where I found the plot lines to be surprising, yet plausible. The story moves at a fast pace, with excellent character development and the formulation of a deeper message over the course of the book that isn't thrown at the reader in the form of a sermon. Although this book is a companion to the author's Catalyst series (which I haven't read, but now intend to), it stands alone as an exciting piece of fiction. I enjoyed the practical lessons that were imparted in terms of survival in chaotic situations. I recommend this book without reservation. ... show more
