About this listen
Two-hundred years after the world ends, their future begins.
In 2157, a mysterious gas known as Variant spreads across the globe, killing or mutating most organic life. The surviving humans take refuge in an underground city, determined to return home. But after generations of failures and botched attempts, hope is beginning to dwindle. That is, until a young scientist makes a unique discovery - and everything changes. Suddenly, there's reason to hope again, and it rests within a group of genetically engineered children that are both human and Variant.
Terry is one of these children, modified and trained to endure the harsh conditions of a planet he cannot begin to understand. After years of preparation, Terry thinks he knows what to expect. But the reality is far stranger than anything he can imagine - and what he will become is far more dangerous.
The Variant Saga boxset includes all four books in the series. Over 1,000 five-star reviews. Find out why people are so intrigued by this thrilling dystopian, science fiction epic. You won't believe the twists and turns this saga takes!

Enjoyable dystopian sci-fi
A compelling listen with lots of twists and turns. A real ‘page-Turner’ (or whatever the audible equivalent saying is). Sure you could pick some holes in the plot but there’s no need to, it’s sci-fi after-all. I was put off by the voice of the narrator at first but soon got used to it. It’s definitely worth sticking with it. I would recommend it. Lots of great strong female role models and characters you can care about.

Excellent Story
Loved these 4 books and excellent value on Audible. The narrator has an annoying way of over emphasising the end of words, but does do a good job of differentiating the different characters with change in pitch, tone and accent. Would thoroughly recommend.

Loved this!
I found this entirely by accident and just couldn't get enough of it. I just want it to carry on now, I want more of the story. It's utopian but with credible characters, an engaging story line and a good narrator. Loved it.

A spellbinding story.
Intelligent writing with a constantly changing backdrop. It charts the lives of several people who face a range of challenges, using the various skills and resources available to them. I won't say more, so that I don't spoil it. If you like scifi, this is a great contribution to the genre.

An Immersive Saga
This is an interesting story with very good enaging characters and is well progressed.
The usual survivors story from an apocalyptic event and how they turn to genetic engineering is nothing new ,but how the catastrophe came about and how it ties into the later books gives great engagement and a surprisingly well written story kept me listening.
This is not to say their isn't a few holes but these are minor and dont detract from the listeners overall enjoyment. Due to the length of this you get a proper bang for your buck and a lot of enjoyment.
Narration by Barnes is done well including the female voices always a sticking point for me I find.
I requested this audio and have decided to leave my thoughts.
