By: Paul Antony Jones

Narrated by: Emily Beresford

Length: 8 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

Emily Baxter’s dream life turns into a waking nightmare the day the red rain falls. Like a biblical plague, the scarlet downpour spreads a hideous virus that demolishes life in New York City, the nation, and the world. Suddenly the last soul in an annihilated metropolis - and possibly on Earth - the onetime newspaper reporter must learn to scavenge, survive...and plan for a future of utter solitude.

Then, from far-flung Alaska, another living voice reaches out, and Emily grasps at her only glimmer of hope. But she may be even less alone than she thinks. The world is in the midst of a strange and frightening transition; something that fell with the red rain is remaking Earth in its own alien image.

Now, Emily alone will bear witness to the terrifying new evolution - and risk her life to outrun it, for the sake of the future and in the name of all that is human.

A great read and listen

This is one of my favorite series and I decided to take a chance on the audio to "read" it again. Narration was very good and I enjoyed the story as much as I did when I read the book myself.

Extinction Point

Good.... I just hate to start books that are part of a collection.... Who know s when I'll be able 5o afford the next ones!

Entertaining, only a little weak

Fun to listen to but had many weak moments. Keeps you entertained for the entire book still. I would read the next. :)

Good start

Silly at times but the stay kept me on the edge of my seat. Worth giving it a try. But don't expect a conclusion or a great stopping point. If you like it you'll have to listen on to see what happens. I'm going to.

okay

I think it's ok. it moves a little slow for me and there are times when nothing of importance are dragged out forever. I think it appeals to a lot of people since it has such great reviews but for me, it's just not that good. just my opinion thoigh.

nice surprise

good book. actually gave me the creeps. I can't wait to hear more from this author

Show, don't tell.

Especially don't tell if all you have at hand is cliche. This book is not recommended.

Very enjoyable

My kind of story. Last person alive trying to survive and all. They did a good job with it. First in a series, but enjoyable regardless if you want to continue with it.

Don't take a breath ever again

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

Yes but with reservations

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Dog Thor, he has no fear or common sense

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

All the characters have a female twang even the men - there should have 2 narrators one male and one female.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No but the story line is fascinating - the question that I kept asking is what would I do in her place.

Any additional comments?

The main character made me mad - I kept wanting to shake her and say get your act together - I think this book was written for teens, because most adults would not react like she did.

You would have to pay me to listen to the next one

The story was just okay. But the main character was not believable. The performance was terrible. If you like books in the post apocalyptic genre there are many better available
