About this listen

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.

This Book was great!!!

The amount of Science in this series was great. A lot was very on point and really had me thinking about the future and long for an extinction event to hit us. (For the good of course). I found myself putting my headphones in and listening every chance I could get.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. But with that said, I will listen to whatever this author puts out. One of my favourite book series of all time

Meh.

Fun book. But drags in places. Some of the characters are pretty annoying (i don't think they are supposed to be). Good for long plane rides in and out of sleep.

Narrator, if you can't do accents, please don't

The first book was fun, but by the end of the series, it was repetitive and dragging. Maybe don't go hard with all 3 in quick succession like I did.
My real complaint is that the narrator did a TERRIBLE Australian accent and it was *so distracting* any time he was reading that character. I'm begging you, audio book narrators, if you can't nail the accent please just don't do it. I would be much less distracted by a supposedly Australian character just having a plain old American or British accent, especially if being Australian isn't in any way integral to the story, than having to cringe every time that character speaks.
If that kind of thing doesn't bother you, then have at it, but if you care at all, avoid this version.

Good, not great.

I enjoyed the first book and even most of the second, but the third book added the Kay and Ollie storyline which if it had been removed really wouldn’t have changed the story, it was just a filler side story that didn’t add anything.

Good Story

This story starts out a little slow but by the start of the second book you will be hooked. It is heavy on the science but has enough human element story line to keep you listening. definitely worth the credit!

needs a heavy edit for Grammer and time to travel around the world

fun story that touched on many real oddities in human science. Sadly it needs an edit. see title of the review.

Very interesting and a good story

It was different than expected, but a very good storyline and narrative. It had substantial enough realism with believable dialogue.

Page turner

The book is action packed and kept me engaged. Some scientific concepts are explained by dialogue or the narrator. Because of that some dialogue were not believable.

The other problem was that people from countries that use the decimal system seems to use the American one easily. No Brazilian will tell a temperature in Fahrenheit without thinking over. I can tell that we take showers even if we will be caked in sweat a few minutes later.

I was disappointed by the end. There were many mistakes, like have someone make a journey in a few minutes when previously had taken much longer. The movement of the upcoming ship was not believable even taking into account it had advanced alien technology.

Another "WOW" Book...

I promise that by saying this it will NOT reveal any part of the story and not give away the ending - but do yourself a favor and listen to chapter 182 FIRST. It will explain a lot of the terminology that is used. There is a lot very specific terms that really need to be grasped, at least in part, prior to reading/listening. I wish I had know this little tidbit up front. Not doing so will NOT take anything away from this spectacular collection but will allow even a better understanding. This is great addition to my Sci-Fi collection and am sure it will be to yours as well. Enjoy.

Perfect for Atheists

Was a struggle to finish.
Narration kept me going.
Very negative towards faith and this made listening almost an aggravation.
