Summary

The end…is only the beginning.

After a mysterious global event known only as “The Change”, six strangers wake up in an underground research facility where they learn that they’re part of the Extinction Trials - a scientific experiment to restart the human race.

But the Extinction Trials harbors a very big secret.

And so does the world outside.

From A.G. Riddle, the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal best-selling author with over four million copies sold worldwide in 20 languages, comes an epic stand-alone adventure with a surprise ending unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.

Unexpectedly enjoyed this!

I'd never read or heard any of A. G. Riddles books before and took a punt on this one. I have to say, I really did enjoy it. I'm sure some folks can find fault with the plot and plausibility of it, but I liked the premise of it. The characters are interesting and believable and having listened to this I'm now a fan of the author's work. I like John Skelley as the narrator too. This was a big plus point to the overall enjoyment factor.

Great sci fi

Another great sci-fi adventure from AG Riddle, to the standard you would expect. Innovative with twists along the way. Well read by the narrator.

Meh

Paper-thin goody vs baddie characters, whenever there's an obstacle the answer is always "the GPS coordinates", and the "twist" ending was just outlandish and terrible.
It had its moments of being entertaining though.

Great science fiction.

Very well written and narrated. The story has a great twist or two. You won't waste your time listening to this.

Good end but a little all over the place.

A bit too clichéd for me.

Whilst the story had some legs, it was somewhat forced with the characters either laughably perfect or annoyingly annoying. There are some good moments and the occasional plot twist that you kind of knew was coming but was pleasant when it did but, in the main, very formulaic and whilst the concept was interesting, the characters journey really wasn't. There was one storyline and you followed it. It's a decent waste of time, but only if you have time to waste.

Couldn’t put it down

I had to finish this book as soon as I could to find out what the answer was at the end ! Great twist .. there was only one thing that bothered me … there was no time frame on any of the events and that kinda got to me haha . But it was a minor issue . The book was great !

Not his best work

I didn't think this was his best work. A little repetitive, cliché, and predictable. Some of the repetition started to annoy me a bit. It was enjoyable otherwise...a great narrator gave this more stars than it would have otherwise got!

If this is your first go with this author...know that his other work is much better than this!
