About this listen

They thought they’d escaped…

After fleeing the doomed oil rig Leaguer and the creature that destroyed it, Shawna Sigler and Catfish are rescued by a shadowy government agency. Upon discovering that samples of the M2 substance have survived, they agree to join a classified project to study the creatures and find a way to destroy them.

Ensconced in a secret underground lab, Shawna and three scientists who survived the events at HAL study the creatures while Catfish develops new weapons. Shawna realizes a troubling trend as the experiments progress: the M2 samples are evolving.

Tying together the first three books, The Black, Arrival, and Outbreak, The Black: Evolution adds to the M2 mythos and leads to a fiery conclusion.

Oh my lord, this book goes through everything but the Black, is this a character study for everything but the Black?

Why go through 90% with only foreboding of Black(m2)

Maybe writers thinking was we just want to follow the survivors of the previous 3 books?

Then finally writer realises we need to let m2 run riot.

Should have called it quits on the 3rd book.

Let down by 4th book, nothing happens till last 2 hours
