Publisher's summary

For eons, the truth about human evolution has remained hidden.
Until now....

Extinction Code

Geophysicist Jack Greer believes he may finally have found the resting place of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. A few miles off the Yucatán coast, Jack and a team of scientists tow an aging drilling platform over the impact crater with the aim of securing a sample. But buried deep beneath the earth lies a shocking discovery that threatens to shatter everything we think we know about our species.

A world away, geneticist Dr. Mia Ward receives a mysterious delivery from her former boss and mentor, Alan Salzburg. In it are clues of a dire warning hidden inside the human genome, one which foretells man's very extinction.

His instructions to Mia are simple: Keep the information safe and, above all, trust no one - words all the more chilling after Alan turns up dead. But who wrote the message and what does it mean? Only Jack Greer holds the answers, but can she reach him in time to save the human race?

Extinction Countdown

Dr. Jack Greer's startling discovery beneath the Gulf of Mexico proved to the world we were not alone in the universe. But when images from the Voyager One space probe reveal an alien doomsday ship hurtling toward the earth, the human race seems marked for extinction.

As news of the approaching ship spreads panic around the globe, signs of a sinister plot begin to emerge - one that threatens to unravel the already fragile fabric of society and everything Jack and Dr. Mia Ward have fought for.

But could a mysterious signal emanating from inside Greenland's ice sheet unlock the secrets hidden within our genome and prevent humanity's destruction?

From the frozen fields of Greenland to the bustling Indian subcontinent and the cobbled streets of Rome, the race is on to stop the deadliest countdown to extinction the human race has ever known.

Extinction Crisis

With the doomsday ship only days away from impacting the Earth, humanity's demise seems all but assured. In every corner of the world, news of the impending destruction has led to chaos, looting, and the collapse of the rule of law.

As the foundations of civilization crumble around them, Jack and Mia must race to find answers to perhaps the most important questions of all time. Why have the Ateans repeatedly eradicated life on our planet? And could the key to ending the cycle of extinctions be locked somewhere within the Salzburg Chromosome?

Unraveling the mystery will mean journeying deep into the heart of a perilous alien world and facing off against the very beings who created us.

Exaltation or extinction?

I was lucky enough to be sent this complete trilogy; Extinction Series, which includes Extinction Code, Extinction Countdown, and Extinction Crisis. Volume one chronicles the discovery and inspection of an alien craft buried in the ocean floor. The boarding and inspection of the alien craft have triggered an impulse from the craft that is effecting the DNA of all life on planet earth. The story goes on to present us with an introductory lesson in gene therapy, chromosomes, and DNA. Our group of scientists continues to determine the purpose of the alien craft and how to stop the impulses emanating from it. Volume two proceeds with various theories and conspiracies on the purpose and intent of the alien craft. A new discovery of an identical alien craft in space heading towards earth gets everyone’s attention. Another impulse, similar to the one from the submerged alien craft, is identified coming from deep under the ice in Greenland. Our group of scientists heads for Greenland to investigate. Volume three begins to tie loose ends together. The approaching alien craft is uppermost on everyone’s mind. The threat of mass extinction has that effect. Figuring out what the aliens’ purpose is the key to this final volume. The theory of the beginning of life on earth, along with the mass extinction events are quite interesting, if not a bit drawn out. The characters are well-developed and you get to know them quite well. The conclusion to this tale may surprise you. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Entire series at once

I got a deal on the entire series and THAT is the way to get a book. LOVED the story, characters were very well done!! The reading was shot in. It was a 'visually' pleasing story! I could picture the whole thing. I love it when it feels like I lived it!

Kinda thin and young-adult-ish

The characters are thin and the dialog is reminiscent of TV. The plot is imaginative, as are it's twists. The performance is quite good.

A good detailed storyline with solid science base.

A good read for most sci-fi fans. The mystery plotlines are standard fare. Worth a quick read for most.

Not Hard Science Fiction

This book is an attempt at Hard Science Fiction blended with a Clive Cussler adventure.

Truly enjoyed this the book story!

Like a lot of stories there were many times when I thought, that was some string of coincidences to keep this story exciting yet still on track, but I guess real life is like that also. Maybe it just doesn't seem as contrived when you're actually living it as opposed to reading a work of fiction. It is a fast moving, informative and very enjoyable story. Most of the character were well developed, at least to the point that I cared about what happened to them.
