Publisher's Summary

What's going on?
Turn on the television.
What channel?
Any channel.

An unknown vessel, not of this world, materialises in London. A colossal figure towering over the city, it makes no move. Is this a peaceful first contact or the prelude to an invasion? Every child has nightmares. But the only thing scarier than little Eva Reyes' dreams - apocalyptic visions of death and destruction - is the habit they have of coming true....

Scientist Dr Rose Franklin has no memory of the last few years. The strangers she works with say she died and was brought back to life. The question is not just how...but why?

Kara Resnik and Vincent Couture fell in love during war and have found peace since. They are the thin line of defence against what is coming. But they do not know they have been living a lie. And a man who claims to have the answers has his own agenda. There are things he cannot say - and others he won't.

All pieces of an epic puzzle. One we have been trying to solve since the dawn of time....

Full cast of narrators includes Roy McMillan, Sarah Wells, Karina Fernandez and Madeleine Rose.

A great sequel

This is an awesome follow up to Sleeping Giants! It is just as well written and the narration is just as good as the fist one. I really enjoyed this and I can’t wait for April 5!

New character voices and as refined as old

Story is brilliant. 10/10

I just don't enjoy some of the new character voice actors. Might just be because I hate seeing some of the old ones go

Addictive

What a great way to narrate a book. A brilliant cast telling an awesome story. None of the He Said / She Said lines because you know the voice of each character and they are talking in the first person.

Using the file records to tell the story is also a great way to use the cast.

I am loving this series.

When from strength to strength

I got this book right after finishing the 1st one it was just as good as that one.
But at the end it felt like that was the end I know there is a 3rd book but it felt like it was over
