About this listen
The end…is only the beginning.
After a mysterious global event known only as “The Change”, six strangers wake up in an underground research facility where they learn that they’re part of the Extinction Trials - a scientific experiment to restart the human race.
But the Extinction Trials harbors a very big secret.
And so does the world outside.
From A.G. Riddle, the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal best-selling author with over four million copies sold worldwide in 20 languages, comes an epic stand-alone adventure with a surprise ending unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.

Original take on an old tale

The narrator did an excellent job and made every character different and believable. They managed to portray emotion throughout and kept the pace flowing quickly.
This book was so good I have kept it downloaded so my wife can listen to it. I also have downloaded another book from the author and I'm hoping the quality of this book carries on.
Truly gripping story

Such a disappointment. An intriguing start as a fireman on a visit to his mum is called out on an emergency to one of several fires which seem to be devastating his city. Other strange and unusual occurrences also start happening which really shouldn't be possible, like buses changing their routes to drive straight into buildings. And soon the whole city is alight and burning, fires assisted by robots designed to save lives, not to ignore orders and deliberately kill. Against all the odds, our hero fireman survives his burning high rise, leaving through a broken window despite attack by murderous helicopters, a young girl carried in his arms... And is woken up in a cold chamber in what might be an hospital.
So it begins.
A small team of stranger survivors, with no apparent memory of how they arrived in a cold facility, try to piece things together as they argue and escape, or die, trying to figure out what has gone before as well as what to do as they try to survive, lurching from problem to near starvation and extreme life threatening situations still trying to understand what was going on, or had gone on, or might, possible come to pass in the future. All a bit under-whelming and actually rather tedious. Cut out about half of this bumbling around and it could have been condensed into something special, but instead, for this reader, it became more why put them through all of this and subjecting a couple of people, already chosen, to torture and pain before shutting them down again anyway to launch them later.
One of the pleasures of this book was the narration, performed by John Skelley, who brought life to the rather dull characters and the overall plot. His reading was well paced, with nicely modulated sentences bringing colour to the dreary landscapes and provide an easy differentiation between characters.
Not a bad book, just disappointing, Riddle can do better than this. Plus the 'twist' at the end was predictable and far too late.
