The lights went out. Sickness and famine spread. Then the government betrayed them.
Scott Montgomery and his community believed the government would protect them. They were wrong. Now, they're trapped in a post-apocalyptic nightmare, abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Uncertainty turns to fear, then to anger as neighbor make the choice to fight or die. And a shadowy government agency watches from the shadows, their true intentions a chilling mystery.
In this shattered world, trust is a weapon, and hope is a fading memory. Scott and his allies must rise above the betrayal and fight back. They must uncover the truth behind the pandemic, expose the government's lies, and reclaim their future. But in a world where the rules have changed and the stakes are higher than ever, the fight for survival will demand the ultimate sacrifice.
What readers are saying about Downward Cycle - The Catalyst Series: Book 1
⭐️⭐️⭐️���️��️ "One of the best researched and written novels of an apocalyptic scenario I have had the luck to read. It stands proudly alongside 'Kyla Stone Edge of Collapse series' for its intense narrative and compelling survival themes.’ -- Amazon Vine Voice Reviewer��️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The storyline for this post-apocalyptic dystopian world is dramatic, believable, and packed with enough action to keep me glued to the pages late into the night, much like 'A.G. Riddle's Pandemic.'’ -Amazon Reviewer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I really liked this book. If you like thrillers, this will not disappoint. It grabbed my attention immediately, with characters as well developed as those in 'Franklin Horton's Borrowed World.' I’m a fan now. Ready for book 2." -Amazon Reviewer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘The entire plot was outstanding. Liked it revolving around Scott and his new friends. Hope the dog Solo survives the series. This book could easily be part of 'Kyla Stone's Nuclear Dawn series' for its vivid depiction of survival.’ -Amazon Reviewer
⭐️��️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘After reading this book the first word that come to mind is Splendid! Writing of this order is too rarely encountered and even for those who usually avoid post-apocalyptic stories, this one is so well conceived and written that it supersedes genre. It reminds me of the depth found in 'One Second After by William Forstchen.'’ -- Grady Harp on San Francisco Review of Books
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Great book. Couldn't put it down. I bought this book because I have read about every post-apocalyptic book series out there, including 'The Silo book series.' I was floored by how this is written. The people come alive, drawing you in. Many shocks, surprises keep you riveted to the page. I highly recommend." -Amazon Reviewer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘As an author of apocalyptic fiction myself, I had to write a review detailing what an exceptional job of portraying how society could collapse following a large-scale Carrington Event, JK Franks has done. It's as immersive as 'The Cabin at the End of the World,' offering a unique take on the apocalypse. I absolutely loved this first book in the Catalyst series…’
