About this listen

A story of alien plots, ancient prophecy, and unyielding courage.

An alien plague. An ancient society. A fight to save the world.

When a rare meteor shower unleashes a mind-altering infection, Alex's loved ones begin to change. They're smarter, faster, emotionless, and they have a plan. One that doesn't include her.

Pursued by both friends and an unknown enemy, it will take everything Alex has to fulfill her destiny. Desperate to save her little brother, she flees to the mountains surrounding her home, where the only chance for humanity has lain hidden for thousands of years.

Guided by cryptic clues left behind by her deceased father, Alex follows a trail of increasingly shocking discoveries. Everything she thought she knew about the past was a lie. And now she's the only one who can save the future.

Tara Ellis is an Amazon best-selling author known for heart-pounding storylines in her acclaimed post-apocalyptic thriller series The 6th Extinction, Flashpoint, and The Fallen.

This starts really well with a meteor shower leading to a roller coaster adventure for Alex. Alex and her compatriots on this thrilling twist filled ride are all really well written and solid characters. The story moves at a good pace revealing new information and plot twists as it goes. Really enjoyable! I listened to it in just over one sitting thanks to a long journey and to be honest I would have loved an excuse to drive a bit further and listen to it all. It's really easy to get into. The narrator is the author and does a great job of getting you into the book. I really enjoyed the narration, which is a skill in itself, so really great job!!
