Publisher's Summary
For eons, the truth about human evolution has remained hidden.
Until now....
Extinction Code
Geophysicist Jack Greer believes he may finally have found the resting place of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. A few miles off the Yucatán coast, Jack and a team of scientists tow an aging drilling platform over the impact crater with the aim of securing a sample. But buried deep beneath the earth lies a shocking discovery that threatens to shatter everything we think we know about our species.
A world away, geneticist Dr. Mia Ward receives a mysterious delivery from her former boss and mentor, Alan Salzburg. In it are clues of a dire warning hidden inside the human genome, one which foretells man's very extinction.
His instructions to Mia are simple: Keep the information safe and, above all, trust no one - words all the more chilling after Alan turns up dead. But who wrote the message and what does it mean? Only Jack Greer holds the answers, but can she reach him in time to save the human race?
Extinction Countdown
Dr. Jack Greer's startling discovery beneath the Gulf of Mexico proved to the world we were not alone in the universe. But when images from the Voyager One space probe reveal an alien doomsday ship hurtling toward the earth, the human race seems marked for extinction.
As news of the approaching ship spreads panic around the globe, signs of a sinister plot begin to emerge - one that threatens to unravel the already fragile fabric of society and everything Jack and Dr. Mia Ward have fought for.
But could a mysterious signal emanating from inside Greenland's ice sheet unlock the secrets hidden within our genome and prevent humanity's destruction?
From the frozen fields of Greenland to the bustling Indian subcontinent and the cobbled streets of Rome, the race is on to stop the deadliest countdown to extinction the human race has ever known.
Extinction Crisis
With the doomsday ship only days away from impacting the Earth, humanity's demise seems all but assured. In every corner of the world, news of the impending destruction has led to chaos, looting, and the collapse of the rule of law.
As the foundations of civilization crumble around them, Jack and Mia must race to find answers to perhaps the most important questions of all time. Why have the Ateans repeatedly eradicated life on our planet? And could the key to ending the cycle of extinctions be locked somewhere within the Salzburg Chromosome?
Unraveling the mystery will mean journeying deep into the heart of a perilous alien world and facing off against the very beings who created us.

Enjoyable tale
Science fiction stories are a favourite and will always try a new author. The Australian accent went to a South Island New Zealand finishing up as South African. I still liked the story.

Good Storyline
Storyline is great. I got lost a lot with all the DNA/genetic technical stuff, but the story was good

A riveting and engrossing story
Great set of books encompassing a riveting story. But agree with other reviewers that the narrator’s version of an Aussie accent for the character of Ollie, was terrible ! But definitely not a unique flaw in the collection of Audible books that I’ve listened to.

Worst Aussie accent
Great story with the narrator giving Ollie the worst Aussie accent ever, sounded like a cross between cockney and South African!

Contrived and Condescending
This story had a lot of potential but it' was hard to get invested.
It felt like a first draft more than a polished final product, there were several times I wondered if it had seen any beta readers.
The characters feel less like people and more like tools to get the plot moving and they sometimes behave unusually just to make it happen.
There are scientific bases for the author's logic and plot (a point he is happy to bring to your attention at the end of the book) but the story itself was too contrived to really feel like I could suspend my disbelief and just enjoy it.
Performance is fine, but often characters bleed into each other, though female and male are distinct and dialogue in this story doesn't do a lot to differentiate it's characters.
I think this story could be better with a bit more time in the editing phase.
(spoilers)
The story likes to ask questions, typically at the end of chapters as some kind of hook to keep you listening, but ultimately doesn't take the time to explore the questions it asks.
An example that stands out to me is the questioning if the Aliens are friendly but after the question is asked the characters only ever refer to being extinct and bizarrely assume the alien craft will only ever do what the plot makes it do.
This ultimately makes me wonder why the antagonists are even considered bad given their intentions to prevent it.

Just say no
Conspiracy theorists wet dream, but otherwise a galloping turd with more plot holes than my gfs fishnets
