At the end of the world - it's the start of something new, with puzzling and terrifying origins.

A green fog descends over every major city in the world, and the populations disappear one by one. By nightfall, every living soul in every metropolis is gone. Earth grinds to a halt. Only a few stragglers are alive in the rural countryside. When Sam and his brother return from a mountain camping trip, they find only empty city streets. Alone, they look for any survivors to give them answers. The next day, lizards the size of Komodo dragons flood the city and attack the remaining humans. When these creatures are confronted by giant spiders, the two species fight each other for the remaining food supply.... with the humans caught in the middle.

A teenage boy with electric powers - stemming from his DNA.
His brother with a strong iron will.
A college student who can understand and communicate with animals.
A scientist with a secret.
And a band of psychopaths with an agenda of their own.

Defending each other from the evils of men and creatures alike, the last humans must race to unravel the mystery of the empty cities, the swarming creatures, and the disappearance of humankind.

Well written and enjoyable

A different take on 'invasion Earth' that provides a very enjoyable read with some good touches of humour and well formed characters. In parts it reminded me of other books I have read and enjoyed, so comfortable territory.

As the first book in a 4 part series it takes the necessary time to lay the foundations for what I am hoping will be a very enjoyable reading sequence. A little bit disappointed to find out that the 'dragons' could not fly but I guess that's an important bonus point for the beleaguered survivalists. Looking forward to reading the next one.

A light-hearted fun read suitable for any age of reader, teen to hip pensioner

A light-hearted fun read suitable for any age of reader, teen to hip pensioner, who enjoys easy-reading apocalyptic sci-fi action thrillers.

The story builds nicely from the start leading the reader along a slowly developing but gripping plot, adding interesting characters, a variety of human survivors, a hero with a magic power, super-sized creatures, and an alien or two, along the way.

The author provides glimpses, rather than deep insights, into some of the main characters' facets and idiosyncrasies, into their histories, into their thoughts, and in a few cases even into their dreams. We see some details of the developing inter-relationships both between the main characters, and between them and the various creatures and aliens along the way. Just enough is provided to let the reader start to identify with the characters and the relationships, but not so much depth that it slows the action down.

The characters that are introduced, the creatures that appear, the initial battles that are fought, and the humour interspersed thought the book, all make the pages, and time, fly by, enthralling the reader as they progress from the first to the last page, and leaving them eager to see both how these characters are further developed, and where this adventure will lead next.

This book incorporates every science fiction conspiracy theory and idea from the last few years and takes them into a great story that everyone will enjoy. Enough action to keep anyone hooked and twists and turns that you don't want to put the book down. Download it and read for yourself.

A nice little story.

Unusual but nice story.
What made this a very good read was
I felt for the charactors, they seemed real people, not just charactors in a story.
Look foward to reading more from this series.
