About this listen

A propulsive, mind-expanding thriller—and the world-shaking conclusion to the Course of Empire trilogy—about bold scientific dreams turning into nightmares … or perhaps new beginnings …

After usurping control of the world’s most powerful military technology, General Chip Walden knows the endgame is near and tasks scientist Eric Hill with one final assignment. Helped by the love of his life, Jane Hunter, Hill is haunted by premonitions of a coming catastrophe as the technology he created takes on a life of its own.

As Hill attempts to avert disaster, FBI Special Agent Bud Brown seeks revenge for the murder of his fellow agents by eco-terrorist Riona Finley. But what no one realizes is that forces are at work that have already decided humanity’s fate. With the clock ticking toward an irrevocable apocalypse, it’s no longer a question of if the world can be saved, but who will be the chosen few that survive.

The Great Unmaking is the grand conclusion to Brian Nelson’s magisterial trilogy that James Rollins has called “a must-read adventure.”

Enjoyed the book. Listened to it no stop and finished too quickly.
The performance of the female voices was a little lacking,they did all sound same. This h9wever did not detract from the overall performance.

Simply an awesome book; couldn’t stop listening to it. Best to first listen to Book 2: Five Tribes for the gravity of this title to hit you. Exceptional storytelling, narration, & a possible prediction of how we’re probably our own worst enemies.

Picking up the cliffhanger at the end of book two the story continues with brilliant depth and character development. The ending was clever but did leave you wanting more in some way. If you haven’t listened to this series then I’d recommend you jump right in and spend the credits as it won’t disappoint.

A brilliant end to the series

Really enjoyed the conclusion to the trilogy. The author seems to know his stuff about a lot of different things. Found it a learning experience as well as an enjoyable tale.
