Customer photo review of Downward Cycle  Paperback-(Book 1 The Catalyst Series)
Mark F.Verified
I only started book 1 yesterday and am 100 pages in. The story is starting well. I cannot wait to see what is in store for Scott. I ordered the 4 books from here rather than a well know other seller and the books were delivered quickly and the author signed all 4 copies as well, which is a nice little touch.

Fantastic read. Suspenseful and scary. Sometimes I was afraid to go outside 😳. I believe that book is a preview of what is to come. Looking forward to getting no. 2 in the series.

Great book! As a ham radio operator, we train to provide communication for similar situations. This book went beyond our exercises, and is definitely a wake up call for what could happen.

The Catalyst series was exceptional; realistic, suspenseful, kept you on the edge of your chair waiting to see what was next. One comes to love the characters, feel what they are going through and share in their experiences. Would make an exceptional movie or mini-series too. Recommending to all my friends and you too, enjoy. John

I've read lots of fiction apocalyptic stories, but this one has some moving moments, and unlike some, the main charector wasn't superman, who could take on the world... and THE ENDING! It's the first book series I've read that put a tear in my eye at some points, and a smile on my face at the end.... can't tell you why, you'll know when you get there.

Nightmare Factory has the spot of honor right now in my reading area. The last 5 books (including this one) to have this spot have been JK Franks books!

The story is great - still reading it but I have not been able to get a kindle version on either my Kindle or the app on my phone so I am using Booktunnel. I don't know if that is you guys or me!

I ordered JK Franks Savage Earth Series as a set and I only order hard copies. Mister Franks is a wonderful author with believable characters in all his books. He is simple a pleasure to read. I ordered all my books in sets from his website. You will enjoy this author. I promise you.

The story moved from on action to the next always making you eager to read the next chapter. Characters where built up with just right description allowing you to know how they fit to the story. I have read the whole Catalyst series and enjoyed each book.

I love JK Franks as a writer! His depth of knowledge in every topic makes the reading fascinating. The character development draws one in to the story and keeps you turning pages to stay in the drama. I like the apocalyptic stories the best, but the futuristic journeys keep me riveted as well. There are some typos expected with computer-written books that seem inevitable. A good proofreader should have picked out those errors. Nevertheless, I will continue to read JK Franks as long as he keeps ...
The Night Gate a Pike Shepard Adventure
James T.Verified
I haven’t read book entirely for years now. I just lose interest somewhere during the story. Not this story and not this book. I loved it, I do think the main characters have a lot of luck on their side. But this is just book one. Great story line which could happen IRL. I ordered the rest of the series and was surprised it was signed by JK Franks. I only wish I could get the book 1 in paperback.

I have only started to read the first book but so far I find The Reed easy going. Trying to picture geographically where the actors are and what the theme is. I think I'll go ahead and purchase book number two as I already own book number three. I almost never buy brand new books, but I did in this case and I'm happy to do so if I am supporting the author directly by a direct purchase

I found the book and storyline to be very interesting. If you have ever wondered what mite happen if the electrical grid went down, you need to read this book......

One of the best books I’ve read. The story is well thought out and researched, characters are interesting and it is very easy to get caught up in the story. There are a lot of post apocalyptic stories out there, however I have found this to best one I have read so far.

I loved this series. It has everything you want out of an end of this systems book. Smart, surprising and interesting all the way through that gave me the information I needed and not useless over the top or extra details.

Once I bought the first book in the Catalyst Series, it was like a full blown addiction. I finished the first book within two days. I couldn't wait to get home from work so I could continue reading. It was action packed. I love the characters. The worst part was that I had not ordered the complete series when I got the first one and then I had to wait to get the rest. It was only a short while and then my reading continued. It certainly gives one something to think about. Great Job!
Downward Cycle Paperback-(Book 1 The Catalyst Series)
Rebecca W.Verified
This book had me from page 1. Even though I felt as if I was on a journey to a dark place, I was compelled to keep going. The characters are complex and well developed but reveal themselves slowly making you want to know more about them as the nightmare they’re facing gets worse with each turn of the page. The story held my attention and forced me to wrestle with my own fears if I was ever in a similar situation. The possibility of finding myself in a comparable hell is real today. It’s rea...

Loved the entire series, and was just bummed at the last page. The book was wonderful and full of lots of eye openings at the end, just knowing it was over was sad. Hoping for more in the future. Love my winter entertainment. My Favorite author

Great series! Have it on my Kindle. Liked it so much I read it twice, back to back. I purchased the paperback set for my grandson, I'm sure he'll enjoy them as much as I did!
Paperback Book - Kingdoms of Sorrow (Book 2 The Catalyst Series)
Daniel M.Verified
I'm not that far into the book but so far the characters are real and the situation is more than believable. I can't wait to read the rest of the book and start on the next one.

I am not technically savvy and thought this was going to present a real problem, but it turned out to be user friendly. The admonition to give it a try, and if you had difficulty there was help to be had, was encouraging. I gave it a try and it worked. Thank you.

Richard F.Verified
Well paced stories as well as stand alone piece. If you're into this type of story I would recommend these as they tend to keep you reading with no real fluff to detract from the story as a whole.

I loved it! I don't read a lot. I bought each book separately because I thought I would not finish the first book and if I did then I probably would not read the other 3 books in the 4 book series. I should have bought the entire 4 book series all at once. It would have saved me money. I could not stop reading it until I finished the whole series. I loved the attention to detail on each character and all of the scientific research the author put into making this series as real as he could make ...

Loving this book. Fictional story but very much adjacent to real events that have occurred. Currently on Chapter 114 and on the home stretch. Yes it is a thick book, and that's ok, because I like the topic. Looking forward to book 2, but am expecting a pause as I imagine this type of book and series is difficult to create.

Love the way the main character thinks! Not too far in at this point, but enjoying the plot and am getting some good ideas I hadn’t considered for when the shtf too! This is the first book I picked up after I retired and it is really drawing me in

I ordered and received this series. It was a really easy process and the books are great! Fiction but with enough truth and facts to make it very real. Good enjoyable reads! Thank you!

I just finished book 4 of the Catalyst Series. JK Franks writes an awesomely believable story in the Catalyst Series. I got to know each and every character very well. Love Solo! (I tell my GSD and 2 mixed dogs, everyday, they should really try be more like Solo!) I could visualize the people and the scenery. I could hear their conversations. I recommend this series to everyone I talk to. I do love ‘end of the world as we know it’ types of stories and constantly think, what would we (my family...

This book is very good and enlightening, I could not stop reading it and I don’t usually read books especially ebooks. I like ve this series and can’t wait to read the rest!!

Book three took a breath from the trajectory of Book 1 and 2, and that's ok. The story stood on its own and was very good. I like to savor a good story, but this one had me plowing through daily until I finished it. I see plenty of bread crumbs for it to tie into Book 4. Just now starting book 4.
Paperback Book - American Exodus (Book 3 The Catalyst Series)
Cindy P.Verified
Having read the first two books, I wasn't sure how I would like this book, because it does not contain the same characters that I was used to in the first two books. But, I have to say Mr Franks you hit it out of the park! I absolutely loved this book and really wish that you will make a sequel to this book too.

The story line was very believable as were the characters. I felt like I truly knew them. I'm anxious to continue learning more as I read the other books in this series. Thank you for sharing your skills and talents with us!

I'm not a "reader" but I gave "Downward Cycle" a try. I couldn't put it down - it sucked me into the second book too. As a "non-reader" I'm not into book #3!

I’m only in the first book of the 4 I downloaded. So far, as I expected, the story is engaging and hard to put down…….but I do have other things I need to attend to 😂. Keep up the good work !

Catalyst was one of my favorite of all time. I have read the series twice already and I recommend it to all my friends. Thank you for the entertainment and education.
Ghost Country | eBook
Cheryl C.Verified
Hard to put down! Action oriented and fast paced. Very realistic and full of pointers to getting myself prepared for an unforeseen event. The editing needs work and there was a missed reference once or twice but the action keeps you moving forward. Wonder how this story plays out from a perspective of someone without his access to information or without prepped friends. Still, can’t wait to read the next book.
