Publisher's summary

From thriller and suspense master Brett Battles comes Exit 9, the second book in the Project Eden thriller series.

Before, it was just a test, a little demonstration to see if the virus worked. It did, and so much better than its creators could have ever hoped. But the testing phase is over. It’s time for Project Eden to take the next step. If its members have their way, humanity is about to get a reboot. It’s up to Daniel Ash and the others in the outnumbered resistance to keep the Project from severely downsizing mankind. But can their small force succeed in the face of a plan decades in the making? The human race had better hope so, because if Ash and his friends can’t….

The story continues!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, but only after they read the first one of course.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Exit 9?

When the button was FINALLY pushed, and the person who did it!! I did not see it coming

Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrews’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Just the first book in this series. It was the same.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, not really

Any additional comments?

The ending was so abrupt that I pulled over on the side of the road and downloaded the next book!! I JUST had to hear what happened next :)

Great series, suspenseful and nice character arcs

Note: except for my review in book one, will use this as my review for the rest in the series.

I review the first book when I was on book four. I think I gave story 4 stars only because I think books three and four should have been combined in one longer book. Book one really rates a five.

I felt three and four should have been combined because three ended unexpectedly, without a true ending, very much a cliffhanger. If I would have had to wait between three and four, I may not have continued. Luckily, I did not have to wait and I could binge listen.

I give the series five stars for the overall story (thank you for pandemic without zombies) The most excellent reader and the character arcs (growth) from beginning to end. This is why I like characters. They must remain true to their character (steadfast) or they grow, learn and adapt to the conflicts in the story - either way, they stay on mission, achieving small goals that lead to the larger overall goal of the series. In the series most grow and grow well. Most notably, Ash's kids, Sanjay and his friends, Martina and her friends and the group on the island off Costa Rica. I was engrossed in all of their lives and struggles and how they really had to fight to survive.

This was my first time reading Brett Battles and I enjoyed it very much. I can't say enough about MacLeod Andrews except he was so good in this series I rate him number two in my list of readers, right behind Ray Porter.

Ok Series, very listenable

Any additional comments?

Not a five star series, but entertaining. I see some reviewers don't like that some things are not all that realistic. To them I say, this is Fiction. What I tell my wife when it comes to science fiction, just believe it is possible and enjoy the ride. One reader was disappointed that the good guys might win in this series. It's not reality he said. What's up with that? Why can't you have a feel good book? The game of thrones crap only goes so far before you just can't digest the depression anymore. Books and movies are an escape. Feeling good at the end is a good thing. If you want to read about bad guys, then read non fiction. Humans have plenty of bad guys that come out ahead. My only gripe of this book is that the author uses a poor ploy to get you to buy the next book. He likes to end his story from book 2 and on, right in the middle of a cliff hanger. That actually makes me a little miffed, like maybe I should not buy the next one just to show him what's up. But I buy them anyway. Also, Daniel Ash, the supposed hero, is really dumb. He always asks the stupid questions at the wrong time. You can just count on it. I wish there was a better hero to cheer for but what the heck. The stories move along nicely and they are well read. Great for the over the road trucker.

Loved it!

Story is totally engaging for me. Narrated very well. Definitely sets one up anticipating the next book. Looking forward to more!

Well now you are hooked.

Why are you reading this review? You can't possibly stop now! Keep listening it is worth it! There has to be an end somewhere!!!

Brett's writing is superb!

If you could sum up Exit 9 in three words, what would they be?

Excitement! Excitement! Excitement!

What does Macleod Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great voice! and truly adds to the thrill

Any additional comments?

Cant wait to start the next book! Brett Battles is one of the best authors Ive ever read and Ive been a bookaholic for over 65 years.

Better than the first but still incomplete

The theme of this book is “Second Verse Same as the First”. If you read the first book in the series “Sick” then you know what to expect from “Exit 9”. Project Eden is trying to end the world and the Resistance is trying to stop it. Unfortunately this book just continues the overall narrative with a few cliff hangers so again nothing is resolved (which is a pet peeve of mine). On the other hand it has a lot more action than the first book making it into more of a thriller and it’s exceptionally well written with interesting characters. I’ll probably put this series down for a bit but the second book has really gotten me into the story much more than the first!

Mr Andrews does a great job with the narration!

Again another great story with realistic characters

I had a bit of trouble remembering who was who with the new characters and Ash doesn't come on the scene right off but all in all I liked the book and would recommend it to friends

Serial

Good series that makes you think about the future. Good narration and action sequences One of the few series that are worth the continued expense.

I keep hoping that disaster strikes... nope

Well it was entertaining, but I think there are a lot of books in this series and it just seems like its one of those books where the bad guy is always gonna get stopped by the end of tge book . kinda getting bored with the series.
