Summary
The Earth is Dying. How would you choose who gets to live?
It is the mid-22nd century, a time in which humankind has reached a point of no return with respect to the destruction of its habitat on Earth. The only ray of hope is the Human Resiliency Program—a conglomeration of government sponsored efforts to preserve human life until such time as the Earth is able to recover. Unfortunately, the program's projects are only capable of saving small, select members of the population, and the competition to assess into and remain in those programs is fierce.
Sam Richmond is one of the lucky few who has made it into one of these programs. However, his elation is short-lived as people close to him disappear, his headquarters is attacked, and he learns of a plot to selectively destroy nearly all remaining human life on the planet. Sam must unravel complex misinformation and find clues that will lead him to the source of the disappearances and the one person capable of salvaging civilization.

A thrilling science fiction!
Both a science fiction and a thriller story that left me wanting for more!!
I really liked this audiobook, both for the theme, the plot and the writing. The narrator was very engaging and I had a great time listening to it!
We're in the very far future and not surprisingly Earth is very much dying, with humans in a last minute rush to save themselves. That's what the Human Resiliency Program comes in and many of the problems the protagonist, Sam (a young astute scientist) has to face. Not only the planet is dying and with it humanity and the few species left, but some of the people he loves are also disappearing without leaving any trace.
I love a good science fiction story and this one took me in from the start and only drew me in more the more I listened to it. There are many elements to this plot, not only the technology and the societal structure, but there's also a bit of mystery the main character is trying to unravel, resulting in a thrilling read (or listen in my case).
The only drawback for me was the characterisation of Tam, which I found a bit stereotypical for a woman (but this is my perception of course).
I cannot wait for the sequel as there was a jaw dropping revelation at the end which left me so thirsty for more!!
Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.
