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.

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.

One of my favorite series continues!

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.

This book had great local detail of the route the characters traversed. A lot of thought went into this.

Any additional comments?

This book was provided for free in exchange for a review.

This book is in the same universe as the Downward Cycle but with different characters and slightly different local. It is highly realistic in the problems encountered trying to travel across any distance during such and event.

One might wish for more "good guys" but this is the author's choice. The level of fall from civilized behavior is quite believable as is the way the government works to depopulate the world after the event.

Look forward to more works in this universe.

Happy surprise

Phenomenal story

When it started, I was a bit frustrated that the core story had been hijacked, but it now seems a very interesting segway has been created.

This seems to set the stage for an incredible finale!

You would not understand the significance of this book unless you read the other three books. Very interesting, very captivating.

A great companion to the catalyst series.

While not a sequel in the Catalyst saga, American Exodus is more of a side story that takes place within the same world, telling the story of new characters dealing with the breakdown of society after massive solar flare devastates the world. I don't know if Mr. Franks plans to continue the story of these characters or have them show up at some point in future volumes of the main series, but as a stand alone story I found it quite enjoyable. Our main character, Steven Porter, is the typical fish out of water often seen in the genre, completely unprepared to deal with the end of the world as we know it. While not really breaking new ground for the genre (and lets face it these days is there much new ground to break?? not really) the story hits all the right tropes. More importantly Steven is a great character. Flawed sure, but also instantly likeable and relatable. And that is the most important thing is stories such as this, after all if you don't care about the character and what happens to him then why continue to read or in this case listen. But as I said, I did identify with Steven, and so I was completely with him on his journey, rooting for him all the way during his ordeal to reach home and find out what happened to his family. While Mr. Franks definitely ends the book in such a way that he could conceivably continue Steven and Co. journey if he wished, it was also satisfying enough to stand on it's on, leaving the reader/listener with a feeling of hope.

Steven Varnum, who also narrated the other books in the series if I remember correctly, does an excellent job, and I hope he continues to be the voice of the Catalyst series.


I received a copy of this audio title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Another solid entry for the series.
