Saturation Point

By: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrated by: Emma Newman

A group of scientists and soldiers are hunted by mysterious enemies in a terrifying new climate thriller from the "Master of British SF"

Doctor Jasmine Marks is going back into hell.

The Hygrometric Dehabitation Region, or the "Zone," is a growing band of rainforest on the equator, where the heat and humidity make it impossible for warm-blooded animals to survive. A human being without protection in the Zone is dead in minutes.

Twenty years ago, Marks went into the rainforest with a group of researchers led by Doctor Elaine Fell, to study the extraordinary climate and see if it could be used in agriculture. The only thing she learned was that the Zone was no place for people. There were deaths, and the program was cut short.

Now, they're sending her back in. A plane crash, a rescue mission, a race against time and the environment to bring out the survivors. But there are things Marks's corporate masters aren't telling her. The Zone keeps its secrets, and so does Doctor Fell . . .

Got to love them plot twists!

I love stories that put a spin on the human condition and use it against them

Chillingly realistic!!

Tchaikovsky has done it again! Easily believable and sobering! He has once again made me see from a completely different perspective. And Emma Newman does amazing work with her narration! Splendid

Classic Tchaikovsky

I found the narrator’s voice annoying, but still enjoyed this twisty book greatly. Recommend for fans of sci-fi thrillers.

Intense

Intense, suspenseful, twisty turny, full of violence, all in all not the kind of thing I usually go for but well I enjoyed it nonetheless. On top of that the narration voice acting was very good. Really made you feel she was the protagonist herself.

Liked it until the end

I liked the idea of the story. I mostly enjoyed the main character. I didn’t enjoy how it ended. I felt she could have made better choices.
