About this listen

The ice is coming. It was the last thing we expected, but the world is freezing. A new ice age has dawned and humanity has been forced to confront its own extinction. Billions have fled the glaciers, crowding out the world’s last habitable zones. They can run from the ice, but they can’t escape human nature: a cataclysmic war is coming.

In orbit, a group of scientists are running the Winter Experiments, a last-ditch attempt to understand why the planet is cooling. None of the climate models they build make sense. But then they discover an anomaly, an unexplained variation in solar radiation...and something else. Close to the burning edge of the sun, they catch a fleeting glimpse of something that shouldn’t be there....

Suddenly humanity must face the possibility it is not alone in the universe. And the terrifying possibility that whatever is out there may be trying to exterminate us.

Interesting story and concept

I didnt know what to expect but I went through this one in a flash getting quite invested in the story.
I didn’t care too much for the inner monologues of the two main characters when they discussed their feelings for each other but it did add a new nuance to the story which I over all ended up enjoying. The scientific aspects were not too deep but still tickled my “science” itch and the I quite enjoyed the story all the way through.
The performance was on point all way through too.
So it’s a 5/5 for me

This was a real mix,

First half to 3/4 was excellent, then it dragged so much I almost stopped. Needed a firm editing. Narration was great, plot good on many levels.

Original and very clever

Winter World opens up an interesting new angle for me by combining Space Opera with an environmental theme. As the earth is dying from cold due to lack of sunlight the source of the problem is identified as alien. The heroes set-off with track down and solve the problem before it's too late.
Well written, clever and original.

Unique idea

I liked the plot and how they alternated who’s reading. Tense plot kept us on the edge of our seats.

Absolutely gripping!

This book was so much more than the synopsis initially led me to believe. there is Sci-fi, political intrigue, human struggles and plenty of feel good moments. Supurb narration too. I highly recommend this Audi book.
