We were wrong about the origins of our species.

For eons, the truth has remained hidden.

Until now...

Geophysicist Jack Greer believes he may finally have found the resting place of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs sixty-five million years ago. A few miles off the Yucatán coast, Jack and a team of scientists tow an aging drilling platform over the impact crater with the aim of securing a sample. But buried deep beneath the earth lies a shocking discovery that threatens to shatter everything we think we know about the origins of our species.

A world away, geneticist Dr. Mia Ward receives a mysterious delivery from her former boss and mentor, Alan Salzburg. In it are clues of a dire warning hidden inside the human genome, one which foretells man's very extinction.

His instructions to Mia are simple: keep the information safe and, above all, trust no one--words all the more chilling after Alan turns up dead. But who wrote the message and what does it mean? Jack's recent discovery just may hold the answers, but can she reach him in time to save the human race?

A thrilling ride, but plot problems in many places

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

This novel was a heavy mix of good and bad. It was certainly entertaining and made for compulsive reading. The story was full of information regarding genetics with a few assumptions on historical events and periods and, most importantly, it was a thrilling ride. However, the plot had tremendous holes everywhere. For instance, a character is trapped in a room with her bodyguard holding off intruders outside the door. The next chapter, she is in another country without explaining how the entire team had extricated themselves from the dilemma. At another point, a man is killed in a holy place with the team members the only witnesses as to what had happened. The next we see of these people, they are in another country without it being explained how they were able to avoid being held by law enforcement. I admit that these explanations would have slowed down the plotting, but they are necessary. It is as if the author came to a full stop before the hurdle, then just walked around it. I will be reading the next volume, due out this month, simply because the storyline was pretty riveting.

Intelligent Story, Great Writing, and a Mystery About Life Itself--Highly Recommended

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

I couldn't put this book down once I started reading. It's great. It's awesome. It's thought-provoking. Buy it. Read it. Do I need to say more?

OK. A short summary:

The story follows two separate plot lines that converge near the end. The first follows Jack Greer and a team of scientists as they drill near the Yucatan Peninsula to try to reach the remnants of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.. As they reach 1500 feet, they drill into--something--and an incredible white light is seen throughout the world. After receiving assistance from the US Navy, they go down and find a huge spaceship, shaped like a diamond. Needless to say, they are blown away. They get in the ship and try to find its purpose? Did the ship kill the dinosaurs? Did it arrive afterwards to help life get started again? If so, how and why did they do that? Finally, where did the aliens go?

At the same time, Mia Ward, a doctor of genetics is trying to solve a genetic mystery. It seems that the burst of light is making some people sick by somehow altering their DNA. Her scientific world is at a loss to explain this and she spends the book trying to solve the mystery. There are some people that don't want anyone to find out about the ship, so Mia flies around the world to consult various experts, and is constantly being followed by people trying to stop her (kill her).

Jack and Mia finally meet up once Mia finds the data she needs. Once they exchange information, we learn about a possible alternative to our common belief of how life evolved on earth. There is a lot of science and genetics that you may have to read twice, but it is well worth it. I love reading about alternatives to common beliefs because...what if? What if makes things more interesting.

The book ends with a cliffhanger that comes out of left field and leaves you with a sense of, "Oh no. What have we gotten ourselves into?" Luckily, the sequel is already out!

Highly recommended.

Where did the Kindle version go?

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Very well written. I have a passion for grounded sifi. Extinction Code is exciting, has an earth threatening plot, believable characters, and at the same time keeps its feet firmly on believable ground. Can’t get into into the Plinktons fighting with the Zillons over control of the Fartzcan gallaxy. My only problem is that when I tried to purchase book Two (Extinction Countdown) the series disappeared from Kindle and the Amazon store. Very disapointed! Its the distraction I need while sweating out medical tests. Had to order the paperback. After reading Kindle for eight years I lay down in bed to read and instinctively turn out the lights. Then silently say crap. I can’t see the paperback and if I turn on the lights I will wake my wife. Where is the Kindle version!

Solid Read

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've been reading SF for 55 years starting with the masters of the golden age. So today I find it hard to find science based books as it seems like everything has vampires or wizards in it. I tried Prescott's book because of the plot reflecting some current science. This book has a good science underpinning and adds secret societies, alien guidance of human evolution; all the basic food groups. It's not Ringworld or Rendezvous with Rama but it was a good read and earned Prescott a second chance with book two now about 45% done as of today.

Thrilling!

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was a very thrilling and exciting book to read! I immensely enjoyed the discovery of the alien ship and all the drama that followed, and as far as following Mia's journey from helping a foreign country with sickness to being on the alien ship and discovering valuable information for the human race, it was thrilling indeed. I'm very much looking forward to the next book.

The Perfect Sumner Read

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

I needed something, I felt would be fast paced, Sci-Fi, and have a good mix of facts and fiction, I surely got it! The author is clever, has a sense of humor and knows how to move things along. This book is ideal for those who love the trekkie genre. At any rate try it, so you can get book 2 in the adventure, happy reading.

This is just the first book in the series and its off to a good start!
Now having read the first installment of the series, I want say that was the most intriguing story I have read in a long time. I was rather surprised when I started reading cause I brought this story out of curiosity. Not disappointed at all! Got money's worth on this and ready to read the next installment.

I love books that use "what if" . What if we are created by someone other them nature ? Or at least pushed in the right direction... What if time to come to pay the bill ... How would different people and groups of people react in this very unusual circumstances ... Very interesting and very good written book. Will look for more from Author

A Science Fiction Novel based on Scientific theories

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

Another enthralling read from James Prescott. What I like about his novels is the way he uses scientific discoveries and twists them to his theories as to why, when and what may have happened. Exposing the reader to think and research their own theories and possible conclusions . Loved this book and can't wait to read the rest of this trilogy.

Good story and did not have to jump sections

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was a great story with enough science to make the leap to believing the fiction enjoyable. Good finish so I have bought book 2. It did not depend on weak language (what others call strong) language to create the characters so I did not have to skip sections. I style of writing meant that you could see the scenes being described. It is quite a trick to have enough detail without the detail slowing up the story. Good book.

Well Worth A Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the first book by James Prescott but you would not know. A good story line coupled with good characterisation that thankfully stops short of turning into a soap opera. It sets questions and answers them. But with one cliff hanger introduced in the last couple of pages. I will now go and get the next one and look forward to enjoying it as much as this one.

A great escapist trilogy for all lovers of dinosaurs, aliens, sci-fi and existential pondering.

Read all three in the trilogy back to back and whilst it might not be great literature it is great immersive fun. The ending of the final book was gripping stuff.
