Publisher's Summary

The battle for survival continues in book 3 of the best-selling Catalyst series....

Two years ago, a super solar storm triggered a CME pulse that crippled the country and destroyed the electrical grid. What remains of the country’s leaders are hiding a secret: something that threatens not just the US but the entire world. 

The Gulf Coast town of Harris Springs, Mississippi has suffered from gang attacks, famine, hurricanes, and has battled a crusading army of religious zealots. Now, they face their greatest challenge: outsmarting a tyrannical president and escaping an approaching pandemic.

The few remaining military leaders are beginning to come to grips with the facts of America being ripped apart at the seams. They must act to give the remaining population any chance for survival. As the nation falls apart in the aftermath of civil war, the survivors must decide how far they will go to save the ones they love.

Loved the story line

I loved how the book grabbed you on the life journey of the characters and made you wonder if you could really survive in a situation like this. Made me laugh and cry.

Required reading in the post apocalyptic genre!

JK Franks brings a very satisfying conclusion to his trilogy, while also nicely tying in his novella set in the same world and still leaving enough room for more stories in this very well realized storyscape. The series is filled with memorable and believable characters and packed with both action and lots of really interesting ideas. You can tell that Franks put a lot of research into this series, to give it a very grounded feel, while still leaving room to delve into some almost sci-fi ideas that really make the series feel different than other 'end of the world' stories.

Great narration on the audiobook by Steven Varnum as well. With a very large cast, he does an excellent job of giving a distinct voice to all the major and minor characters.
