About this listen

An apocalyptic supernova flashes over the South Pole. A mysterious mission sent deep into the Amazon. The story of one family’s struggle to reunite…

Max Carver, a down-on-his-luck truck driver and Army vet, joins a rescue mission into Brazil. The target is a utopian tech village, the Colony, hidden in the rainforest and run by a charismatic genius. Max’s pregnant wife, Talisha Carver, is the NSA analyst who intercepted encrypted Colony messages signaling a mysterious impending event.

Dr. Xin Rou is a Chinese researcher working at the IceCube neutrino experiment at the South Pole. On lucky days a single flash might signal the passage of a ghostly interstellar particle. Suddenly, IceCube’s entire array lights up. A million detectors at once. Which is impossible. The Antarctic sky is clear and calm—but she is already running for the door.

Because the world is about to end. But the mystery just begins...

A big old MEH...

I preordered this book and was super excited when it finally came out. Then listened to a good half of it while doing yard work. I kept waiting and wanting more out of the story. However... The book, well, is meh at best.

This could be a decent free read but to I have to say it was a credit wasted. Returned the book.

One note: Narration is amazing as always and a given with Mr. Porter.

Just not enjoying it at all.

Wow, just how bad can it be. The only saving grace is the narration and well you can not make a silk purse out a pigs ear- first time ever I have given a Ray Porter narrated book performance a 4 out of 5.
