Summary

The journey begins....

Plunged into darkness, the Earth's surface is shrouded in dust from the impact of asteroid AG5.

Whilst the cloud threatens to choke the very fabric of civilization, Sarah Morgan is being held prisoner. In the depths of a subterranean facility, she has uncovered a deadly weapon; the truth behind the enormous structure buried beneath the Earth.

Elsewhere, Professor Steiner and Robert Goodwin may be humanity's greatest hope, but they must struggle against monumental adversity as an internal battle rages within the Global Meteor Response Council.

Running out of luck, choices and time, all must fight to reclaim their chosen paths or watch those around them wither and die.

Gripping

This is the second of this series… enjoyable & rather along the
lines of AG Riddle … good characters & compelling storyline - good narration… only frustrating thing was that the story just finishes so you always have to buy the next book, but I guess that’s the point. Enjoyable read

Great story

Loved the new characters and the expansion of the main narrative. Really intriguing with the only negative being a main character suddenly becoming very welsh when he wasn’t in the first 😂. Very minor quibble as the narrator is excellent.

Great second installment

firstly ... Gildart Jackson finally figured out what an actual Welsh accent is from book one ... Thank You
slightly disjointed early on but more than made up as the book got going ... really enjoyed

better

better than the first book. I still find the narrator irritating. He sounds like he's reading the football scores at times. the story kicks along at a fair pace and is easy listening for dog walks.
