About this listen

After an alien invasion devastates humanity, a battered group of survivors huddles in a remote outpost, fighting to endure in a now-hostile world. Resources are dwindling, and internal power struggles threaten to tear apart the fragile last vestige of human society.

Emily Baxter remains haunted by vivid dreams of Earth's new masters. With these nightmares comes concern for her son, Adam, the posthuman world's firstborn child - a child who is ominously marked with red-flecked eyes. While Emily's husband is off on a dangerous mission, she is accused of committing an unthinkable crime and resolves to clear her name by journeying, along with her stepdaughter and their dog, Thor, into the alien wilderness that was once Earth.

All around Emily lurk mysterious new dangers that threaten her and her companions at every turn. Are these perils the final stages of an apocalyptic invasion or the harbinger of something even worse yet to come?

Heart pounding non stop action. Amazing storyline

If you are fan of apocalyptic stories, like I am, this one is going to bowl you over. Every installment comes with it's on thrills and mysteries, slowly but steadily unfolding the ultimate mother of a mystery. Can't wait to read the last part.

One More to Go

Better n better. I’ve read n listened depending on my location. As usual I enjoy listening more but the story doesn’t loose anything when reading. Excellent.

Kind of a let down

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

yes, I would want a friend to read the entire series

What was one of the most memorable moments of Genesis?

The false imprisonment and rape. I feel after all of the loss of life humans could let go of their petty behaviors, but they can't. This is nicely shown in this book.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

There was something weird about her voice. She held the last letter of her words in every sentence which really I found irritating. I think this is what made it really difficult for me to listen to. Eventually, I just listened and forced myself not to think about it.

Could you see Genesis being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I think the whole series could be made into a movie, but I do not think each book needs to be a separate movie. The first two in one and the second to in a different movie

Any additional comments?

My biggest problem was with the narrator and the way the series ended.

Read by James Hatfield of Metallica?

I love this series. I was thrown off in the first 5 second of this one those by Emily's reading style. She sounded like James Hatfield from Metallica. All narrations ended with "nnnnnna" or "htttttta".
Maybe she had to much Whiskey in the Jaaaaaara.

Gripping series

If you could sum up Genesis in three words, what would they be?

After some "I am not sure about this series" Genesis has me wanting more. Interesting development and yes, even with humanity almost gone there are still power hungry, greedy characters. The world changes....humanity does not.....or does it ? I don't want to give spoilers

What did you like best about this story?

All character traits of humanity survive...

What does Emily Beresford bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Rich voice that brings the book alive

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I want more

What happened to narrator between book 3 & 4?!

I have chosen not to finish this book because the narration is THAT bad. She was fine in the first 3 books then it seemed like someone gave her bad advice to add a lull to the end of every few sentences. Heck, every sentence at times has the terrible pull of sounds. Very disappointed.

loved this series... except for...

I really enjoyed this series except for the fact that the author seems to not realize that America does not use the metric system. Emily is an American... the story is set in America.... and all the references to measurements are metric in the story. It was a minor grading at the back of my mind each time it happened. Other than that .. I enjoyed the series.

great story, bad narration

although the narrator herself has not changed, if you read the first two books and then compare the style of narration with this one, you will see a huge difference. I ended up reading the Kindle version rather than finishing this audio version. Beyond that, I liked the story.

Awful Narration

I listened to prior books in this series from the same narrator but I can't listen to this another minute. The narrator's cadence is completely distracting. I actually pulled up her earlier Audible just to see if I was losing my mind, and it's a night and day difference.
