An unknown vessel, not of this world, materialises in London. A colossal figure towering over the city, it makes no move. Is this a peaceful first contact or the prelude to an invasion? Every child has nightmares. But the only thing scarier than little Eva Reyes' dreams - apocalyptic visions of death and destruction - is the habit they have of coming true....

Scientist Dr Rose Franklin has no memory of the last few years. The strangers she works with say she died and was brought back to life. The question is not just how...but why?

Kara Resnik and Vincent Couture fell in love during war and have found peace since. They are the thin line of defence against what is coming. But they do not know they have been living a lie. And a man who claims to have the answers has his own agenda. There are things he cannot say - and others he won't.

All pieces of an epic puzzle. One we have been trying to solve since the dawn of time....

Full cast of narrators includes Roy McMillan, Sarah Wells, Karina Fernandez and Madeleine Rose.

All voice actors in this are excellent - gripping story with action, comedy and pathos.

Fabulous adaptation

Wasn't grabbed just as much as the 1st but a good sequel. Bring on the 3rd.

Well worth a listen

I loved the thread of this story weaving through reports, documents and interviews.
It felt like reading in 3D, hearing the same story from different view points on the same timeline is a work of genius.
A very nice touch.

A great follow up!

a great continuation of the first book, some of the larger main story questions answered with a number of further questions left open-ended. a few genuine emotional moments where I was shocked and upset for some of the characters. Ends on a satisfying cliffhanger, kind of disappointed I finished it so fast because I want more!

the voice actors are fantastic, especially the meetings with Mr Burns and his funny little stories.

great sequel

Fully recommended. I enjoyed it as much as part 1. But the cliffhanger at the end... srsly..

as great as pt 1

Just like the first book of the series, this instalment is a uniquely enjoyable experience. The best story continuation I have listened to. Ever.

The only downside to this (and the first) book is that they are over with to damned quickly!

Brilliant!

Can Eva be killed off? Shes annoying af. She really hurts the end of the book

Amazing

A fast-paced, fun story with decent twists and engaging characters. Excited for book 3, when it arrives!

Excellent sci-fi thriller with some smart ideas

I left a decent review for the first book, though looking back I think I was a little harsh. This is a great series and this second book doesn't disappoint. Great story. Listened to all 9hours in a day! Bring on no. 3!

Great listen...

I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the next in the series. However, performance had to lose a star for me because of Eva. The actor sounded nothing like a 10 year old and was incredibly irritating.

Great story and performance but...
