About this listen

The greatest mystery of all time...the history of human origins...will be revealed.

Seventy thousand years ago, the human race almost went extinct. We survived, but no one knows how.

Until now.

The countdown to the next stage of human evolution is about to begin, and humanity might not survive this time.

The Immari are good at keeping secrets. For 2,000 years, they've hidden the truth about human evolution. They've also searched for an ancient enemy - a threat that could wipe out the human race. Now the search is over.

Off the coast of Antarctica, a research vessel discovers a mysterious structure buried deep in an iceberg. It has been there for thousands of years, and something is guarding it. As the Immari rush to execute their plan, a brilliant geneticist makes a discovery that could change everything.

Dr. Kate Warner moved to Jakarta, Indonesia to escape her past. She hasn't recovered from what happened to her, but she has made an incredible breakthrough: a cure for autism. Or so she thinks. What she has found is far more dangerous - for her and the entire human race. Her work could be the key to the next stage of human evolution. In the hands of the Immari, it would mean the end of humanity as we know it.

Agent David Vale has spent 10 years trying to stop the Immari. Now he's out of time. His informant is dead. His organization has been infiltrated. His enemy is hunting him. But when David receives a coded message related to the Immari attack, he risks everything to save the one person that can help him solve it: Dr. Kate Warner.

Together, Kate and David must race to unravel a global conspiracy and learn the truth about the Atlantis Gene...and human origins. Their journey takes them to the far corners of the globe and into the secrets of their pasts. The Immari are close on their heels and will stop at nothing to obtain Kate's research and force the next stage of human evolution - even if it means killing 99.9% of the world's population. David and Kate can stop them...if they can trust each other. And stay alive.

Great story, intriguing thriller only let down by the lack of voice characterisations.
That aside this is a story that keeps you hooked on many levels. Well worth it if you want a book which delivers a different flavour of a thriller and sci fi blend.

Riviting read

The first 100+ chapters of this book I found exciting and interesting and I was quickly enthralled in this story of intrigue, action and potential death. But then, as we approached the conclusion, it seemed to turn into a farce with mysterious tunnels leading to just the right places, implausible escapes from certain death, established characters becoming someone else ... So that I found my mind wandering, not listening - never a good sign. To be honest, I don't really know what happens at the end and can't be bothered to find out and this is not helped by Mr. Davies's mostly competent, but uninspiring, narration.
Would I recommend this book? I don't think so. Will I be getting the next in the series? Probably not, despite the excellent premise.

Well - it started well enough, then became two different stories and merged into something a bit silly. A lot of promise but in the end disappointing.

Won't be buying the next one!

Although I found the storyline a bit hard to follow at first, moving quickly from one plot point to another, once I was past the first couple of chapters I was hooked! The narration is good on the whole, at one point I believe Stephen Bel Davies was moving between German, Irish and American accents and the descriptions of the different vistas brought the story to life. If you enjoy Dan Brown and with a bit of sci-fi mixed in then this one is for you!

Compelling First Book!
