About this listen
Aliens have landed in New York.
A deadly cloud of spores has already infected and killed the inhabitants of two worlds. Now the plague is heading for Earth, threatening humans and aliens alike. Can either species be trusted to find the cure?
Geneticist Marianne Jenner is immersed in the desperate race to save humanity, yet her family is tearing itself apart. Siblings Elizabeth and Ryan are strident isolationists who agree only that an alien conspiracy is in play. Marianne's youngest, Noah, is a loner addicted to a drug that constantly changes his identity. But between the four Jenners, the course of human history will be forever altered.
Earth's most elite scientists have 10 months to prevent human extinction - but not everyone is willing to wait.

Rather than following a typical or reluctant hero. The story follows a core family in exceptional circumstances, this was refreshingly different.
I’ve listened to Better narrators who can provide characters with a distinctive voice, but I didn’t fall out with her voice and she injected personality into the narration itself.
Won’t be rushing for the next in the series would consider them.
A book of 2 halves

Competent narration overall, although voice acting of characters was a bit unconvincing and distracting. I didn't warm to the characters particularly, due partly to the writing and partly the delivery. Not sure if I'm invested enough to read the next installment. Kress is good at confounding your expectations, weaving unpredictable narratives; I don't know where this story of interplanetary politics will go next.
Potential for intrigue

Great book 📖

It started off with a reasonable chance of going somewhere interesting; however, around half way, it became a children's book. The language changed, and the story just stopped moving in any specific direction.
Very disappointed.
Not Really Sure What I just Listened To...
