About this listen
What's going on?
Turn on the television.
What channel?
Any channel.
An unknown vessel, not of this world, materialises in London. A colossal figure towering over the city, it makes no move. Is this a peaceful first contact or the prelude to an invasion? Every child has nightmares. But the only thing scarier than little Eva Reyes' dreams - apocalyptic visions of death and destruction - is the habit they have of coming true....
Scientist Dr Rose Franklin has no memory of the last few years. The strangers she works with say she died and was brought back to life. The question is not just how...but why?
Kara Resnik and Vincent Couture fell in love during war and have found peace since. They are the thin line of defence against what is coming. But they do not know they have been living a lie. And a man who claims to have the answers has his own agenda. There are things he cannot say - and others he won't.
All pieces of an epic puzzle. One we have been trying to solve since the dawn of time....
Full cast of narrators includes Roy McMillan, Sarah Wells, Karina Fernandez and Madeleine Rose.

Uninspired writing, abysmal performances
There is barely a grain of original ideas across the books. Most of it is inspired by well known works in bits and pieces. The writing is insipid at best. And i could have still enjoyed it if it weren't for the horrid performances. Some characters were tolerable but most sounded empty, fake and annoying. Perhaps a simple read through would have served it better.

Best reimagination of war of the worlds
For so it had come about, as indeed I and many men might have foreseen had not terror and disaster blinded our minds. These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things--taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle, and to many--those that cause putrefaction in dead matter, for instance--our living frames are altogether immune. But there are no bacteria in Mars, and directly these invaders arrived, directly they drank and fed, our microscopic allies began to work their overthrow. Already when I watched them they were irrevocably doomed, dying and rotting even as they went to and fro. It was inevitable. By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten ti

Excellent story and storytelling format
The second part always suffers from comparison with the original but this whole series is a great listening experience

Story building up!
Lot of action, lot of good hard science baked in. Loved the way story is developing. Audiobook performances were amazing, kind of like dramatization. Cannot wait for third one!

dragged. dragged. and dragged.
First time ever I hated a book. I'm not gonna spend my money and time on the next part of the series.
There is a chapter where a man tortures a poison gas Survivor which feels so dragged, that too without any context and outcome at the end of the chapter. Writer learned something about the torture machines in Wikipedia and wrote everything in a 8 min long chapter. The whole book can be told in a couple of chapters. There is no emotion and thrill
Repeated scenes and narrations again and again. The writer thought he left us on a hook at the end of the novel but sorry this is so medicore.
