Extinction Countdown is the second book in the Extinction series!

Dr. Jack Greer's startling discovery beneath the Gulf of Mexico proved to the world we were not alone in the universe. But when images from the Voyager One space probe reveal an alien doomsday ship hurtling toward the earth, the human race seems marked for extinction.

As news of the approaching ship spreads panic around the globe, signs of a sinister plot begin to emerge--one that threatens to unravel the already fragile fabric of society and everything Jack and Dr. Mia Ward have fought for.

But could a mysterious signal emanating from inside Greenland's ice sheet unlock the secrets hidden within our genome and prevent humanity's destruction?

From the frozen fields of Greenland to the bustling Indian subcontinent and the cobbled streets of Rome, the race is on to stop the deadliest countdown to extinction the human race has ever known.

For eons, the truth about human evolution 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 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? Only Jack Greer holds the answers, but can she reach him in time to save the human race?

Breathable air on Earth is running out and no one knows why.
A mysterious discovery nearly thirty million years old may hold the answer.
To find it, a glaciologist and the inventor of a cutting-edge brain implant will need to work together.
But can they unlock its shocking secrets in time to save humankind?

While investigating hydrothermal vents in the Pacific Ocean, scientist Nicholay Panov and his crew mysteriously vanish. Weeks later, when their vessel is finally found, the hull has been crushed nearly beyond recognition. Stranger still, the wreck now lies off the coast of Antarctica, seven thousand miles from where it sank.

Searching for answers, glaciologist Sienna Panov reaches out to Ben Fisher, the rich and enigmatic CEO who commissioned the expedition. Ben is the inventor of a revolutionary neural enhancement device. Once implanted in the brain, it has the power to boost both mental and physical abilities to dizzying new heights.

Except Ben has recently suffered a tragedy of his own, after a savage attack robbed him of his memory and left him framed for murder. Working together, Ben and Sienna soon discover a shadowy conspiracy connecting both events.

There are ancient secrets powerful people don't want them to uncover, secrets that trace back to America's Space Race and to a time long before humans walked the Earth. Secrets with the power to save the planet--or utterly destroy it.

Filled with stunning twists and turns, Augmented is a technothriller that will leave you breathless!

Deep beneath the ocean lies the secret of human origins.
A discovery with the power to change history.
Or wipe us from the earth.

For over a decade, archaeologist Dr. Martin Anders has searched in vain for proof of the fabled continent of Atlantis. After raising a puzzling artifact from the ocean floor, Anders gets more than he bargained for. It is a piece of modern technology thousands of years old.

To unlock its origins, Anders and a small team of scientists and Ex-Special Forces will travel to a distant land shrouded in mystery and surrounded by creatures long extinct.

But they aren't alone. An ancient order is close behind. And they're determined to hide a secret they believe we were never meant to know.

A fast-paced archaeological thriller that will make you question everything you think you know. For fans of James Rollins, A.G. Riddle and Preston & Child.

Background

12,000 years ago, the human race underwent a dramatic and inexplicable shift. Seemingly overnight, our species transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherers to sedentary farmers and before long, to the architects of modern civilization. It's a mystery that has left scientists utterly bewildered.

Dr. Jack Greers alarmierende Entdeckung im Golf von Mexiko hat der Welt bewiesen, dass wir Menschen im Universum nicht allein sind. Doch als Bilder von der Raumsonde Voyager 1 ein außerirdisches Raumschiff zeigen, das auf die Erde zurast, scheint festzustehen: Die menschliche Rasse ist zum Aussterben verdammt.

Während die Nachrichten über das sich nähernde Schiff überall auf der Welt Panik verbreiten, tauchen mehr und mehr Anzeichen einer teuflischen Verschwörung auf. Es ist eine Verschwörung, die das bereits zerbrechliche Gewebe der Gesellschaft und alles zu zerstören droht, für das Jack und Dr. Mia Ward gekämpft haben.

Aber könnte ein mysteriöses Signal, das seinen Ursprung unterhalb der Eisdecke von Grönland hat, die Geheimnisse enthüllen, die in unserem Genom versteckt sind, und die Zerstörung der Menschheit verhindern?

Ein Rennen gegen die Zeit beginnt, das von den Eisfeldern Grönlands zum lebhaften indischen Subkontinent und in die kopfsteingepflasterten Straßen Roms führt. Kann der tödlichste Countdown zur Auslöschung, den die menschliche Rasse jemals erlebte, noch gestoppt werden?

Zum Aussterben verdammt #2: Der Countdown https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08MXYLFFM

Die Wahrheit über die menschliche Evolution ist über viele Zeitalter hinweg verborgen geblieben.
Bis heute …

Geophysiker Jack Greer glaubt, endlich den Ort gefunden zu haben, an dem vor 65 Millionen Jahren der Meteorit einschlug, der den Beginn jener Ereignisse markierte, die zum Aussterben der Dinosaurier führten. Ein paar Kilometer vor der Küste der Halbinsel Yukatan transportieren Jack und sein Team eine alte Bohrplattform zum Landekrater, um sich eine Probe zu beschaffen. Doch tief in der Erde vergraben wartet eine schockierende Entdeckung auf sie, die droht, alles zunichte zu machen, das wir über unsere Spezies zu wissen glaubten.

Welten entfernt erhält die Genetikerin Dr. Mia Ward eine mysteriöse Lieferung von ihrem ehemaligen Chef und Mentor Alan Salzburg. Sie enthält Hinweise auf eine düstere Prophezeiung, verborgen im menschlichen Erbgut. Eine, die den Untergang der Menschheit voraussagt.

Salzburgs Anweisungen für Mia sind simpel: Sie hat für die Sicherheit dieser Informationen zu sorgen und darf, und das ist das Wichtigste, niemandem vertrauen. Diese Worte sind umso erschreckender, da Alan tot aufgefunden wird. Doch wer hat diese warnende Nachricht verfasst? Und was bedeutet sie? Allein Jack Greer verfügt über die Antworten. Aber kann sie ihn rechtzeitig erreichen, um die menschliche Rasse noch zu retten?
