Publisher's summary

Thousands of years ago, the world’s population shrunk to a dangerous low....

Nobody could say why with total confidence....

Until humanity’s greatest enemy resurfaces again to start a deadly colonization.

A strange vine is uncovered beneath the remains of a lost civilization. Before anyone can examine the alien plant, pink pollen erupts from its huge buds. Moments later, 99 percent of the archeological team freeze like statues, but only for a minute. They brutally attack anyone unaffected by the phenomenon, dragging victims away for what becomes a chilling evolutionary process beyond anyone’s worst nightmare. As this happens, the pollen drifts toward the wider world.

Not so great

Theory is interesting but the actions of some of these characters is unbelievable. And the aliens are not up to par. It ended with the hint of a second book, but unless I have nothing else to listen to, not for me.

the start is a little rough, but it's worth it

good story...
though it is a little basic i was still entertained...
there isn't much room for character growth, but the characters are easily relatable...

Honestly I picked this up because of the narration and Steve did a great job as always
