    About this audiobook

    After an alien invasion devastates humanity, a battered group of survivors huddles in a remote outpost, fighting to endure in a now-hostile world. Resources are dwindling, and internal power struggles threaten to tear apart the fragile last vestige of human society.

    Emily Baxter remains haunted by vivid dreams of Earth’s new masters. With these nightmares comes concern for her son, Adam, the posthuman world’s firstborn child—a child who is ominously marked with red-flecked eyes. While Emily’s husband is off on a dangerous mission, she is accused of committing an unthinkable crime and resolves to clear her name by journeying, along with her stepdaughter and their dog, Thor, into the alien wilderness that was once Earth.

    All around Emily lurk mysterious new dangers that threaten her and her companions at every turn. Are these perils the final stages of an apocalyptic invasion or the harbinger of something even worse yet to come?

    Paul Antony Jones

    A native of Cardiff, Wales, Paul Antony Jones now resides near Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife. He has worked as a newspaper reporter and commercial copywriter, but his passion is penning fiction. A self-described science geek, he’s a voracious reader of scientific periodicals and a fan of things mysterious, unknown, and on the fringe. That fascination inspired the Extinction Point series, which follows heroine Emily Baxter’s journey into the bizarre new alien world that Earth has become.

      First 3 books good, this one not so much. Alot like LOST tv series, the writers just making it up as they went during last 2 seasona. AND WHERE IA THE 5TH BOOK! It just ends like that?

    • 1/5
      The narrator sounds completely different, she went from someone I could picture in my mind as the main character to a 60 year captain Kirk librarian lady. I just started the book but the way it's narrated it's just terrible. The first 3 audiobooks were normal now it's just bad. I can't believe no one told her she changed how she sounds. Like this book was written in the 50s and produced in the 50s. Producer and publisher didn't notice!?

      Anyway enjoy if you can hopefully put up with it.
    • 1/5
      Stop at the third book because this book totally forgets a lot of things I don’t wanna get into the mall all I’m saying is it’s not worth listening to because it’s going back on what it had previously said the only reason there is this book is because the author forgot that they said something before or didn’t give a shit so it’s just bad riding don’t read it don’t waste your time one star the author could’ve done better and fucked the publisher I do believe it’s good until this book but I will not finish this cause it’s a bunch of bullshit.
    • 4/5
      I have enjoyed this series greatly. Now onto the final book
    • 2/5
      What got me was also mentioned by another reviewer. How the reader drags out the ending of every word. It is extremely annoying. I had to look to see if the narrator was the same for the first 3 books and surprisingly it was. Not sure why she changed her reading style for this book but it was almost unbearable. The first 3 books were pretty good and kept me wanting to read more and more but the 4th book was hard to want to finish. I just couldn't get pass how the narrator sounded. I'm not even sure what the point she was trying to make if any by dragging out the ending of ever word. It's completely unnecessary and utterly annoying. Over all this book was a disappointment. Should have ended the story with the 3rd book.. ?
    • 1/5
      Is there another book? This ends so abruptly and leaves the listener hanging on so many points. Maybe should have let it end with book 3? Or write another one to finish this series
      Disappointed
      Also the reader seems to end every sentence with a dragging out of the last word it get to be to much didn’t notice it in the other 3 books
      Don’t waste time or money on the fourth book
    • 3/5
      This is the fourth book in Jones' Extinction Point series. The first three books, wherein the tale of the extinction of all earth life is told, were only fair - a respectable story line being diminished by fairly implausible development. At the end of the third book Jones warns advises us that he could continue the series in the future, and - sure as can be - he makes good on his threat promise. There is very little that can be said about Genesis that wouldn't serve as a spoiler for the first three books, so I will not delve too much into the story line other than to say "it's all a mistake! - the aliens say 'my bad!'"This is also undoubtedly (in fact, given the ending, it is a certainty) the beginning of another series of stories. That will be fully implausible. And inconsistent. And maybe not even as good as the original (what ought to have been) trilogy.For serious sci-fi fans only.
