Well That Was Great

5 out of 5 stars

I’ve been thinking about the audio version of this book for some time.  My friend and fellow blogger Michael Patrick Hicks reviewed this book back in mid-July (see his review here). I actually did have an ARC of this book and I ended up being that guy and I waited for the audio to come out.  I’m glad I did because Christian Rummel did a fantastic job narrating this.

The Extinction Agenda is a thriller but it doesn’t follow all of the typical thriller tropes.  Sure, FBI Special Agent James Mason has some of the typical traits – this book reads a little different. The main plot is Mason’s unrelenting attempt to thwart seemingly an unending force of people trying to cause a massive die-off of the worlds population.

A couple of times I honest thought there was going to be a slightly different plot point View Spoiler » but overall I thought that Laurence did a great job throwing me for a loop every time I thought I had the book figured out.

It reads like a bio-thriller at times and an action-packed military thriller at others.  Throw in some modern detective and technothriller vibes and you start to scratch the surface of this book.

I absolutely flew through this book and I couldn’t believe it when it was over.  The last 2 hours I found myself checking and rechecking to see how close to the end I was.  Not because I couldn’t wait for it to be over, but more because I didn’t know how he was going to wrap everything up in the final moments.

I needed a book like this in my life and boy am I glad that this one came along.  The Extinction Agenda is a story I won’t soon forget and I cannot wait for more stories in this series.
