Struggle for Existence

The Preservation of Species, Book 2

De: Geoff Jones

Narrado por: Stacy Carolan

Escaping Earth was just the beginning. Two days before a comet wiped out civilization, mysterious pods carried dozens of people to a strange menagerie inhabited by deadly specimens from Earth's past. Sierra Preston made first contact with an alien that had been observing humans from an invisible floating platform. The creature claimed the comet was sent by a race known as gorgers and warned that no one could leave the menagerie. Sierra isn't about to let that stop her.

The Preservation of Species trilogy continues in Struggle for Existence, a post-apocalyptic science-fiction adventure filled with unforgettable heroes, terrifying monsters, and heart-pounding action.

Another fun sci-fi adventure romp

This series has a really cool setup, and the pacing of mystery-reveals from book 1 to book 2 has been excellent, expanding the world in each book. The aliens feel original, especially as we start to get hints at their motivations. The characters are engaging and the interpersonal conflict really drives the story. Also, while brief, I love the voice of the dog :)

Can't wait for book 3!

Fantastic audiobook!

I was hesitant to start it, thinking, what if it isn't as good as the first book? But as soon as I started it, I couldn't pull away. This story was incredibly well written, with riveting characters and action (not to mention dinosaurs). The narrator did a fantastic job, as well. I highly recommend this series, and I look forward to the conclusion! It's well worth the time and credit spent.

Grounded realism; discovery and survival thriller

First, believe that we are not alone in the universe. Next, discover that while life on Earth has been obliterated by a comet's impact, that some humans were randomly whisked away to another place. These last survivors of the human species must learn where they are, who's housing them, and what remains of their home world. Containing standout narratives specific to each main character's personality, and detailed descriptions of each character's emotional response to the activities affecting them, Struggle for Existence maintains an edge-of-your-seat tension throughout this installment. Our survivors' story is chock-full of believable realism amid terrifying encounters with enemies both human and animalistic. Stacy Carolan brings unique voice and feeling to each person, conveying their scientific knowledge, determined goal-setting, or evil intent with clear and uniform delivery. Ending on a perfect cliffhanger, the adventure sets up for Book 3's eventual conclusion. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 1.9x.]
