Extinction Series: The Complete Collection

De: James D. Prescott

Narrado por: Gary Tiedemann

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.

Wow and wow

This is the first to third book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another. What a complex story- geophysics trying to do their job, multi country military forces, advanced AI, genetic mutations threatening humanity, global conspiracy, a secret society, alien ship and artifacts. And yet it all comes together into a cohesive story. Impressive, entertaining, a great listen.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Gary Tiedemann ) and I would listen to another. He is a wonderful voice actor and brings out the emotion in every scene. His character voices, both male and female, are distinct and imbued with personality.

There are no explicit sex scenes, there is violence but not excessive. I can’t remember any swearing.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.
Please feel free to comment on whether you found my review helpful.

Not Clancy

Definitely not up to Clancy's level. Great tech references but kind of simple story overall.

ASCII!

I have enjoyed this book quite a bit so far. The writing is a bit clunky with exposition at times. Lots of smart people asking dumb questions so the reader can be informed.

The performance is generally solid, with distinct characterizations. However, I have one huge problem. If you’re reading technobabble, you should learn how to pronounce the technobabble. It is not “A-S-C-I-I,” it is “ask-ee.” I cringed every time he got it wrong, Pulled me out of the scene in at least three separate chapters.

To understand Life on Earth and beyond.

As we are on Earth, how many different forms of Life are there in the universes. In this trilogy there are many people that want to know if we're alone. Others don't want to know.
James D. Prescott has written a believable story about the crossroads of our existence.
Thank you Gary Tiedemann for your awesome variation of voices.
Excellent story !!!!

Complete collection.

Lots of drama with an almost complete disregard for science. Inconsistency between the three books.

I did listen to the whole thing, but I’m slightly reluctant to recommend it to others.

Excellent, truly a 1st class set of stories.

I have read many thousands of science fiction books over the decades. It is not often that I can’t exactly see we’re a story is head This series reads like a Tom Clancy book. The basic story arc is completely believable. It has two related plots they play out in a way were they do not get in the way with each other but weave together to a complete ending.

Loved every minute of it!

Definitely worth getting and listening to. The narrator was great and I always marvel how they can keep track of the characters and their voices!

A Really Great Series

This was a really good book series. The story was very well written, nicely paced, well narrated and hard to put down. The best comparison that I've seen for this series is something like The Da Vinci Code series, mixing a lot of real world events and terms in with science fiction and it was well executed in my opinion. Definitely glad I picked this one up!!

A good read

Well thought out and researched. Characters evolved over the Trilogy and each book did a good job of running at least two connected plots at the same time.

fantastic

The level of real science written into this story is staggering, the entire concept is extremely well thought out and flows seamlessly throughout all 3 books making it impossible to put down. Will definitely come back to this one several times.
