Publisher's summary

A dead star is headed for Earth...The shift in Earth’s orbit will unleash a new ice age...And this summer will be our last.

The news breaks - Logan Willis’s life is falling apart: he lost his job and found out that his wife is cheating on him all in the same day. Thinking that his world has ended, Logan checks into a hotel and turns on the TV to see that he's not far wrong - radio telescopes have detected mysterious signals coming from inside our solar system, and the source is moving toward us at over 500 miles per second. The media concludes that these signals must be of an alien origin. Still reeling from the news, Logan gets a phone call from his brother-in-law. Richard is talking crazy about the end of the world again, but this time he doesn’t sound so crazy.

A deadly conspiracy unravels - Meanwhile, Richard, who is an astronomer working with the James Webb Space Telescope, is at the White House briefing the president to announce what he and the government have known for almost a decade: aliens are not invading, a frozen ball of gas is. The so-called rogue star is predicted to make a near pass with Earth, disrupting our orbit and unleashing an ice age, the likes of which we haven’t seen for millions of years.

We’re putting a colony on Mars - Government insider and billionaire Akron Massey has received a steady flow of funding over the past decade for his company, Starcast, to put a colony on Mars. Over the same period he’s been using his personal fortune to create a colony closer to home where he plans to ride out the coming storm along with a thousand of the smartest people on the planet. Humanity will need seeds to plant in the ashes after the chaos clears.

And wars ignite - When the true nature of the threat becomes known, the nations of Earth prepare to fight over all the warmest parts of the planet. But as war fleets set sail and armies begin marching south, a stunning discovery is made that will change a lot more than just the weather....

Good, not where I expected it to go.

Flynn Earl Jones is a good narrator, has a strange peaceful monotone style. Doesn't really convey action scenes quite right but adds personality and is easy to listen to. The story was good just kinda filled with things that lacked logic or just a bit silly. like everything works out Everytime. Good story just not an apocalypse type book which it kind of portrayed itself as. Kinda like it's not sure what kind of book it wants to be. lacked the depth of books like Commune or After it happened. Good read in all, first half was the better half as it started strong then sort of went everywhere at once.. May get #2.

Captivating

This was my first book from Scott, and I was intrigued by Darth Vader's son being the narrator.

I was incredibly pleased all around.

Great story... well executed.

You can tell Flynn is a bit green... he doesn't have the professionalism most big names have, but a few more books under his belt and he'll be a star.

great scifi story with a bit of a twist

its great a little slow in some areas but great with a bit of a twist that i like .

interesting premise ill keep reading

The story started slow and i found myself trying to understand where it was going but it picked up and i enjoyed it. nice twist on alien invasion/first contact theme.

Rouge Star, Frozen Planet, Invasion by Aliens

This audible covers ever possible events in this series of 2 books. Year 2022 rouge star is found and that would come close enough to change the weather on earth the coastal area would go under water and area above Texas will freeze. That sounds bad you have a very dysfunctional family who are so stupid in so many ways you want them not to make it but they do and finally the Aliens who no one saw coming and invade the planet driving all human north to freeze.
Oh so much more to find out you have to listen to this audible!!

It’s ok.

Story moved along too slow often with unnecessary scenes instead of story progressing. More unrealistic character decisions than I would’ve liked. But I do like the story idea and had to keep listening and I find out what happens.

Not what you think.

I was expecting a story about a disaster and survival story,.. This is a space invasion story with a twist. Book one so far is interesting. I hate series but now I am hooked enough to read book too. I want to kick the dad in the butt sometimes while listening and well also the teen boy no common sense. I bought it in sale so I am ok with it.

Handsome Voice for Storytelling, Just Like His Dad

Although Flynn's voice isn't the same pitch as his father's, his voice is captivating for this story, and he tells it WELL. He captures the emotions of the characters nicely, and he reads the story nice and smoothly. He should get more reading opportunities for narration work so, maybe, just maybe, he can work in something WITH his dad! I mean, he is already a natural (to me) for narrating a story like this! Something tells me he's into these kinds of stories... :)
Me (and millions of others) being a big fan of Mr. Jones (James) and the family, I can already see that he was meant to do things like this, and it runs in his blood!

As for the story, it is definitely getting me to my feet (just reached chapter 9 while typing this review) and I'm eager to know what is about to happen next. Jasper wrote an excellent book, with an alluring plot that keeps its readers (that are into these kinds of books) on edge, and the twists are fascinating to listen to!

I hope to hear more from James and/or Flynn very soon with more work like this in the future. Keep it up :)

I recommend this book

l enjoyed the book couldn't stop listening I and looking forward to the next book (the sequel hopefully)

This tested my patience ...

The story had a lot of potential but it was very long and drawn out and there were several technical errors. The characters were believable. However this story could have been told in fewer chapters . If this is the author's 1st book, It was a fair attempt. Hopefully the following books in the series will be much better written, with Better editing. I look forward to the characters being developed and maturing with the story.
