American Exodus: A Post-Apocalyptic Journey

Catalyst

De: JK Franks

Narrado por: Steven Varnum

One man's desperate journey to get home in a post-apocalyptic world.

Steven Porter had a mostly charmed life, one that most people would envy, that is until it all vanished. He was far from home on that day when his world changed forever. How far does the devastation reach - the whole country, the world? Millions of people are fleeing the cities trying to find safety. Steve finds himself as one of those lost souls wandering the highways. Each step forward is fraught with peril. What will he find if he even makes it back home?

To survive the dangerous journey, he must battle hunger, thirst, and the relentless attacks by others as well as a seemingly brutal response by our government that raises more questions than answers. What's left of his world? Normal is a fading memory, survival is all that matters. His challenge is simple, adapt or die.

American Exodus is a companion novel to the popular Catalyst series. This gritty standalone get-home journey offers an intimate view of one man's harrowing mission to return to his family.

One of my favorite series continues!

I LOVE this series and I have recommended it to many people. I love how the characters grow from being every day normal people to survivors.
I hope Steve & JD meet up with Scott and the others from the first 2 books in the series in an upcoming story line. I love these two and I was so happy about Elvis. (That may be a tiny spoiler)
Franks is a master at creating characters you can relate to and love.
Varnum is an amazing narrator and does a fabulous job as expected.
I’m ready for the next installment in the catalyst world.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator.

This is a Tale Set In the Catalyst Universe

JK Franks has crafted a wonderful separate story within the Catalyst Universe called American Exodus. I like to keep my reviews as spoiler-free as possible so here we go. This book is noticeably shorter than Mr. Frank's other book in the series but this is a stand-alone story. The shorter length does not have any effect on the quality of the storytelling. This is the hero's journey type of story in the post-apocalyptic world. When the crap hits the rotary impeller a man who never had to survive by his wits and physical skills gets a crash course in reality. If he wants to get home alive he's going to have to work for it. I highly recommend this stand-alone book in the Catalyst Universe.

Steve Varnum once again provides excellent narration. Mr. Varnum does a great job with the different accents for all the characters. I really enjoyed his performance.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
