Summary
The thrilling conclusion to The Extinction Files is finally here!
A code hidden in the human genome...will reveal the ultimate secret of human existence.
And could hold humanity's only hope of survival.
In 2003, the first human genome was sequenced. But the secrets it held were never revealed.
The truth was discovered 30 years ago, almost by accident. Dr. Paul Kraus had spent his entire career searching for what he called humanity's lost tribes - human ancestors who had gone extinct. When Kraus compared the DNA samples of the lost tribes with our own, he found a pattern of changes: a code. At the time, the technology didn't exist to unravel what it meant. To protect the secret, Kraus hid his work and disappeared. Now the technology exists to finally understand the mysterious code buried in the human genome, but finding the pieces of Kraus' research is more dangerous than anyone imagined.
Dr. Peyton Shaw and her mother have obtained part of Kraus' research - and a cryptic message that could lead to the remaining pieces. They believe his work is the key to stopping a global conspiracy - and an event that will change humanity forever.
The ultimate secret, buried in the human genome, will change our very understanding of what it means to be human. For Peyton, finding it may come at an incredible price. She must weigh the lives of strangers against those she loves: Desmond Hughes and her mother. With time running out, Peyton makes a fateful choice - one that can never be undone.

Fantastic two book series
Wonderful ideas with a stunning final line that makes you question everything that you thought you knew about the storyline. Highly recommended

Wow
I liked it quite well, just until the end. And the very last word unmade me and shook me and gave me a strong wish to cry in a good way. So, good job!

Messy story line
I cannot resist a sequel, the temptation to see what happened next is just too great.
I felt the ending of Pandemic was a bit fuzzy so looked forward to seeing where the plot went. The plot was good and the slow reveal that I enjoyed in the first book did not initially disappoint. Sadly the main plot was interlinked with a 'who will he choose' love story that I just found irritating.
I disliked the narration and felt the characterisation was poor especially the women who became more and more stereotypical and whiny as the story progressed. I would have preferred the main story line to have been uncomplicated by the superfluous love angle. The two main female characters had strong enough story lines to not need a weak romantic side story.

A good companion novel to the first
I enjoyed listening to this book but like the first it takes a lot of effort and understanding. I had to re-listen to a few chapters to really understand it. Will enjoy listening to it again and again.

Disappointing.
I found it to be full of long winded speeches, and far too many time jumps. The final 1/3 was interesting, but took significant will power to make it through to the end.

Frustrating
Many questions left open from book 1 were answered, but some coincidences left unexplained. A bit frustrating
Performance generally excellent but some changes in pronunciation and accents from book 1
