Nightmare Factory

Savage Earth, Book 1/SA

De: JK Franks

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

Sometimes bad choices are the only options you have.

In the not-too-distant future, a devastating global attack takes place, and planet Earth is on the brink of extinction.

Master Sergeant Joe Kovach has been through personal hell. As he struggles to adapt to his new enhancements, and as battles escalate, so does his determination to uncover the group who triggered this brutal extinction event that has left the planet overrun by mechanical and genetic horrors. His first stop: reconnect with his team of tier-1 Space Force rangers to find the Nightmare Factory—a secret underground research facility that may hold the keys to not just his future but mankind’s as well.

This impossible mission will have him hunting for answers that can rid the world of its mistakes forever—or doom it altogether. It's time for him to take his place as the master warfighter the world needs. His days are numbered unless he can find a way to use his new skills to get out alive.

Outside of a few areas, Earth is quickly becoming inhospitable to human life. Survival becomes a matter of staying one step ahead of the nightmarish horde of biological and mechanical killing machines that are taking over the world. Kovach is a nearly unstoppable force, and possibly the only thing standing up against humanity’s possible extinction.

Awesome story that keeps you wondering what’s next

I couldn’t get enough of the series, I’m writing this review after finishing book 3 I skipped book 1.5 because of the narrator, I’m picky with narrated books. The narrator has to be really good, most narrators and nasally whiny Weasley voices, the guy that did this one, fits the role perfectly and adds character in depth to the characters he’s reading. It’s a fantastic combination.

pretty solid overall

Of the books in this series I’ve finished, this first one is the best so far. I would note the author likes to lob in at least a few modern political and ideological statements and those that disagree are apparently just stupid. It’s usually just a few lines here or there but it comes across as condescending and drops me out of the narrative every time by the way it’s handled. The sequels are not as good as this first one in my opinion. Nightmare Factory is the best but it’s not great.

Jonathan Davis is fantastic as always.

damn good!

very well written! left with more questions then answered just as a good first boom in a long series should! at least I hope it's a long series

Very entertaining, lots of action, moves fast.

I listen to audiobooks to stay entertained during my long commute, to stay alive, and not die, falling asleep at the wheel. JK Franks has saved my life, worth every penny, and on to book 2. Yes, I'm still alive, and while I enjoy other authors and other narrators...JK Franks delivers and the performance is really good!

Interesting high tech human enhancements.

This was a pretty good story and kept my attention. The combat scenes were well written.

Wow

Gripped me from beginning to end. Can’t wait for the next one !!! JK Franks really develops these characters so you really feel the love and hate for them.

Action, Mystery, and A Lot More

I wasn't sure if I was going to like the book. I almost put it down before the story had even truly started. The begining seemed like it was going too political. Fortunately it was only a small part in the beginning. The rest of the story got better and I really enjoyed it. I will say that I had trouble tracking the different "creatures/monsters" that were encountered. The book ended in a cliff hanger so you'll definitely need to read book two.

I did finish it but it was tuff

The way the narrator whisper talks an shows little emotion is hard to listen to for very long even the most action stress danger battle moments are done in this odd slow whisper style an not just the main character but every person gets the same style it's so strange, the story itself seems good but why was it done this way , I wanted to like it but again it was a tuff listen . One of those books that if R.C. Brey read then it would be a 10/10 ,

becomes tedious

Super soldier introduced in what seems like a prequel novella, then the real story begins. It's a cycle of ever-badder enemies doing ever more damage to the super soldier. I will not be continuing with the series.
