About this listen

'The windows on all the skyscrapers are smashed...
No power, no lights, no people...
It's a parallel New York of some kind.'

THE COMING END

When Skye Rogers and her twin brother Red move to Manhattan, rumours of a coming global apocalypse are building. But this does not stop the young elite of New York from partying without a care.

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

And then suddenly Skye is invited to join an exclusive gang known as the Secret Runners of New York.

But this is no ordinary clique - they have access to an underground portal that can transport them into the future.

And what Skye discovers in the future is horrifying.

RUN! AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

As society crumbles, Skye and Red race to figure out how to use their knowledge to survive the impending annihilation, they soon discover that the chaotic end of the world is perfect time for revenge...

A well thought out story that is ckassed as a Young Adult novel based on the main protaganist but in truth an adult read

Excellent addition to the Reilly catalogue

Enjoyed the story, it’s not what I was expecting- I was thinking it would be something like Contest. Narrator was excellent. Would recommend to Reilly fans.

Interesting storyline and concept.

The ending left me a bit cold and I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, but worth buying.

Pretty good

this audiobook was very well narrated, a voice suited to a story told by a 16 year old.
the story was thrilling, a little chilling at times, but an all round success suited to teens (and adults who enjoy a lighter tale every now and then!)
some of the story felt a bit obvious or familiar (other tv/movies/books) but in all a very exciting story, as I've learnt to expect from Matthew Reilly.

exciting, mysterious and a thriller

For anyone who did not grow up amidst the cackle of super bitchy school girls, a lot of the dialogue in the background setting was tiresome and grating. But I guess it was also necessary for both character and plot development. (Although that may not ring true until mostly into the story). Very interesting premise. Well developed plot. I could see this as a movie as I listened. Top marks for the narration; really well done.

Not his usual, but still good.
