About this listen

In the face of a death-defying power, what's the "new normal"?

Like all reporters, Jack longs for a breaking story but is stuck writing obituaries for a small-town rag. As his frustration mounts, it hits him that no one has died in over three days. Jack's odd observation becomes something far stranger when he connects a meteorite to the bizarre phenomenon.

Seizing the opportunity, Jack breaks the story and after a struggle to control the meteorite's power is resolved, a swelling population begins to create havoc. With the survival of the human race hanging in the balance, politicians enact increasingly horrific measures and desperate citizens take matters into their own hands.

Jack's in a position to not just report the news, but change it, and his decisions and observations creates an epic thriller that pits the potential of human immortality against a force designed to change - or obliterate - humanity itself.

Only one man might stand in its way...the man buried in the obits department. The Final Enemy is a story of social disintegration as well as a saga of survival. Secret plans, starvation, suicide, and a series of events that spiral the human race into a desperate survival mode evolve from a seemingly singular event and leads to a fast-paced action story that delights with its penchant for the unexpected.

In the tradition of A.G. Riddle and Matthew Mather, The Final Enemy is a gripping blend of thriller and science fiction that will prove hard to put down.

An interesting premise

Full disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I was definitely intrigued by this book and its premise. The book itself is relatively good, however some of the ideas explored in the latter parts of the book get quite dark and made me want to put it down. Some of the paths that the story took made sense; other paths didn’t especially when it seemed like there were more logical paths for the story. II persevered to the end, hoping to find some redemption in the book, but I was disappointed. I love speculative sci-fi and loved parts 1 and 2, but the book just got darker and darker and never really got bright again.

I would be interested to read something else by this author, but I don’t think I’ll reread this book.

The narrator did a good job and I was able to read it at my normal speed of 2.2x.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
