Publisher's Summary

A PANDEMIC 70,000 YEARS IN THE MAKING WILL CHANGE HUMANITY...FOREVER.

In Marbella, Spain, Dr. Kate Warner awakens to a horrifying reality: the human race stands on the brink of extinction. A pandemic unlike any before it has swept the globe. Nearly a billion people are dead--and those the Atlantis Plague doesn't kill, it transforms at the genetic level. A few rapidly evolve. The remainder devolve.

As the world slips into chaos, radical solutions emerge. Industrialized nations offer a miracle drug, Orchid, which they mass produce and distribute to refugee camps around the world. But Orchid is merely a way to buy time. It treats the symptoms of the plague but never actually cures the disease.

Immari International offers a different approach: do nothing. Let the plague run its course. The Immari envision a world populated by the genetically superior survivors--a new human race, ready to fulfill its destiny.

With control of the world population hanging in the balance, the Orchid Alliance and the Immari descend into open warfare. Now humanity's last hope is to find a cure, and Kate alone holds the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding the Atlantis Plague. The answer may lie in understanding pivotal events in human history--events when the human genome mysteriously changed. Kate's journey takes her across the barren wastelands of Europe and northern Africa, but it's her research into the past that takes her where she never expected to go. She soon discovers that the history of human evolution is not what it seems--and setting it right may require a sacrifice she never imagined.

Another good listen

Really enjoyed this sequel. It moved along quickly enough to keep me interested. I liked the bits of science, history and sci-fi. Will look for the next book now.

Story good narration irritating

I listened to the first book but when I came to look for a new audio book several months later I forgot how irritating the narration was. I listened to this book for one trip to work and back but could bear it no longer. I returned the book.
I think the story is OK. The reading is the problem.

Alternate history

Great experience! Intriguing story, well narrated and slightly addictive. Looking forward to the next instalment. Highly recommended. Thank you Audible.

Preposterous - not really worth it

This was meant to be a stand alone but clearly was not since it constantly referred to events that occurred earlier. Leaving that aside, the story jumped and required leaps of faith that just were not there. Perhaps if the earlier book /s were read it could make sense but in itself as one book it didn't work. It was totally unbelievable.

Exciting creative and meaningful messages

Good storyline and use of imagination about technology and human behaviour while facing destruction.

Narrator was good and I am looking forward to the final book.

Guilty pleasure

Pretty cringeworthy writing at times but I am still listening to all books in the series.

The hard yards

Far from gripping from start to finish it was hard listening and hard to stay awake. Is it the author or narrator? I'm still not sure why it didn't gel with me. I was finally starting to get into it in the last couple of chapters causing me now to reconsider a resolution not to finish the series.
