Nightmare Factory

Savage Earth, Book 1/SA

By: JK Franks

Narrated by: 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.

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 ,

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.

Hey Macarena!

God damn I really enjoyed this book. I got started with the Catalyst series from JK Franks and new as soon as I saw this one written by him I was instantly going to be hooked on as well. at least to me I see Kovach as very relatable and getting to know his journey kept me locked in. the world development and how everything falls apart with it has kept me hooked and I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series. I won't spoil it say more, all I can tell you is quit pissing around and start reading or listening to this. amazing work!

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!
