Sometimes bad choices are the only ones you have
In the not-too-distant future, a devastating global attack takes place and planet Earth is on the brink of extinction. In this sci-fi thriller, Master Sergeant Joe Kovach has been through a personal hell as he struggles to adapt to his new enhancements.
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. Soon Kovach realizes 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

What readers are saying about JK Franks and Nightmare Factory - Savage Earth Series: Book 1

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The descriptions of the biological and mechanical monsters that have been developed are so real that I could picture these creatures and found that I couldn't read the book right before bed. Otherwise, the "Nightmare Factory" might become a real nightmare to me. As in his other books, Franks makes this story come alive and I can't wait to read the next book in this series." —MFK

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The story line for this post-apocalyptic dystopian world is dramatic, believable and enough action to keep me glued to the pages late into the night." -Amazon Reviewer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the 7th book from JK Franks that I have read this winter, and it was impossible to put down. Great action, spell-binding science fiction......just what I have come to expect from Franks. Can't wait for the next book in the series! Highly recommend." Lt. Danah

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The entire plot was outstanding. Liked it revolving around Scott and his new friends. Hope the dog survives the series. Keep it up." Amazon Reviewer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Writing of this order is too rarely encountered and even for those who usually avoid cyberpunk science fiction, this one is so well conceived and written that it supersedes genre and is simply fine writing. JK Franks has established himself as an author of the first rank" -- 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. I was floored 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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I really liked this book. If you like thrillers this will not disappoint. It grabbed my attention immediately. Characters are well developed. I'm a fan now. Ready for book 2." -Amazon Reviewer

From the Author

Probably the most frequent question I get is 'How do you come up with new stories?' Sometimes this is difficult to answer as it seems my sub-concious just spits the words out on to he page. The Savage Earth series is not like that though. It's origins go back to my day telling me stories from one of his favoite books. Death World by the great Harry Harrison. A planet where everyghing was trying to kill you. I always wondered what that would look like here on Earth.

Settign a post-apocalytoc thriller in the near-future was a gamble but I knew we wouldneed some technology that simply doesn;t exist yet. Also I'd been wanting to write about an enhanced solider for quite some time. The two paths merged once I sat down and began writing and the storylone opened up in a facinating adventure. It is my pleasure to bring it to you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor imitation
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2023

Savage Earth disappoints on multiple levels, mostly due to its undeniable plagiarism of the Hell Divers series. The lack of originality in both plot and characters is therefore unsurprising. There also way too many military errors and typos for a reader to take it seriously. Sadly, the author seems undeterred by stealing as it appears book 2 is another direct copy from the Hell Divers series. Perhaps Franks sees this as a way to make back all the money he’s clearly losing on the ads I keep seeing. They do work, I guess as they got me to try the book because it looked like it was inspired by Hell Divers. Too bad it’s actually a complete rip off of themes and characters (a genetically modified Husky, really?) and it still somehow manages to be terrible. I’m returning my copy.

horrible writing, fight scenes are a collage of confused nonsense. character development is mostly howard stern level profanity without the accompanying sex. ( thanks for not trying to put that in there, considering how poorly the fight scenes were) the ending is no ending just more nonsense. missed my return window as I didn't start reading until I had finished another (much better) book. I haven't read hell divers but if this is a plagiarized version of it, I probably don't want to. :) my only regret is that Amazon requires me to give it a star which it in no way deserves.
