Summary

A PANDEMIC 70,000 YEARS IN THE MAKING WILL CHANGE HUMANITY...FOREVER.

In Marbella, Spain, Dr. Kate Warner awakens to a horrifying reality: the human race stands on the brink of extinction. A pandemic unlike any before it has swept the globe. Nearly a billion people are dead--and those the Atlantis Plague doesn't kill, it transforms at the genetic level. A few rapidly evolve. The remainder devolve.

As the world slips into chaos, radical solutions emerge. Industrialized nations offer a miracle drug, Orchid, which they mass produce and distribute to refugee camps around the world. But Orchid is merely a way to buy time. It treats the symptoms of the plague but never actually cures the disease.

Immari International offers a different approach: do nothing. Let the plague run its course. The Immari envision a world populated by the genetically superior survivors--a new human race, ready to fulfill its destiny.

With control of the world population hanging in the balance, the Orchid Alliance and the Immari descend into open warfare. Now humanity's last hope is to find a cure, and Kate alone holds the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding the Atlantis Plague. The answer may lie in understanding pivotal events in human history--events when the human genome mysteriously changed. Kate's journey takes her across the barren wastelands of Europe and northern Africa, but it's her research into the past that takes her where she never expected to go. She soon discovers that the history of human evolution is not what it seems--and setting it right may require a sacrifice she never imagined.

A strong follow-up

I was originally put of by the trailer at the end of the previous audio book but really glad i bought it anyway. It is set in 'modern' times rather than a total sci-fi future. Recommended.

A good listen, if a little descriptive at points

I enjoyed this book a lot. The story went from the previous installment and flowed through nicely, continuing to develop the characters. A complicated look at fantasy version of a very real planet earth that sometimes goes a bit heavy on the narrative. The narrator is good, on the whole. I'm afraid my usual irritation with an American's lack of ability to pronounce various words is still there, but on the whole a good read and I'm looking forward to the final installment!

Very good listen

Very good sequel to the Atlantis Gene, explaining the origins of humankind. I enjoyed following the story, I could imagine everything very clearly and the pace kept me engaged the whole time. Would recommend.

Good story disappointingly read

I loved this book and all of the trilogy.
The reader is very clear and easy to understand but is often reading in a strange and unusual pattern. Pregnant pauses appear at the wrong places and the rhythm is all wrong. The imitation of accents is awful. Also, in the book itself, there are gaps and little icons separating different situations and groups of people. There is no such indication in the way it is read and it can take several moments to realise that we have now switched to a different place in the story. Otherwise excellent plot.

Heavy going but worth it in the end

Would you listen to The Atlantis Plague again? Why?

It took me a long time to get through this needing to read a few other books in between as it can get very drawn out in the middle not seeming to go anywhere just round in circles but at about 3/4 through the story picks up and comes to a conclusion

What did you like best about this story?

Its the second book in the trilogy and moved the story along

Which character – as performed by Stephen Bel Davies – was your favourite?

Al the characters were good and consitant

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

the book is part of a trilogy this is just and excuse for procrastinator I am sure the whole story could have been condensed a bit and I will think twice before downloading the third episode.

the last quarter really dragged

this book starts off quite well quite detailed and you really need to use your imagination but it's quite a good book but I have to admit it started to drag in the last quarter. I'd like to see it as a movie
