About this listen

At the end of the world, who will survive?

The year is 2061, and the planet is dying. Cataclysmic solar storms have forced leaders from around the world to finally put aside their differences and agree on one thing-to jump ship. The human race is headed to Mars.

Dr. Sophie Winston is hired by New Tech Corporation to test a biosphere deep within the heart of Cheyenne Mountain; a mission she believes will help prepare the company for the three-year flight to the red planet. But, just days into the assignment, things start to go wrong. When the blast doors hiss open, Winston's team finds a changed world outside. Humans are gone, vanished without a trace, and they aren't the only thing missing. The planet's water has disappeared, too.

As the team explores their surroundings, they find thousands of luminous blue orbs lining the streets. It isn't until they uncover what's inside that they realize the nightmare that lies ahead.

Let me get two things addressed first I like Nicholas Sansbury Smith’s Extinction Cycle and The Trackers Series I’ve listened to 20mins of the Hell Divers and still have the rest to listen to. The second thing is the narrator Bronson Pinchot does his usual super job with the narration.

The Orbs.

I know it’s a series of books but to read or watch a second and subsequent series you need to care about the people who are in it. I finished this book this morning and can only remember a few names. There is no real explanation for anything. NSS did his research for Trackers and the use of EMP devices. This seems almost like a ghost writer or in the style of than his others. Personally I won’t be listening to the next

Not NSS’s best

I chose this title having read the previous reviews thinking it would be a good read. Unfortunately I found the story to be laboured and predictable. I only completed the book as once I start a book I force myself to finish it. I will not be reading anymore in this series

Disappointed

Another great series from my favourite author, well read by a professional who acts his way through the reading in great form.

Can't wait to find out what happens.

Living through the ending of the world

horror... sci fi... non sickening romance... unfathomable aliens, realistically flawed charachters and the end of humanity

what's not to love about this fast paced story?

I just loved it

The narrator keeps shouting. Almost gave me a heart attack in the middle of the night. Terrible recording . 0/10.

Shouting.

Story line sounded good but couldn’t listen to the mixed half male half female voice. Worst narration to date a waist of money buying it. First review from me that’s how bad it was. Possibly just me but listen to sample before buying

Narrated very poorly
