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.

So, like many others, I read the first book and thought it was pretty good, and seeing the higher overall rating, I went ahead and bought the second. I immediately added on the Audible 'whisper sync' for it, as I listen to books on my walk to and from class (so about an hour each day). Normally, I love listening to books, as it draws you in, and makes my walk go by really quickly. As a result, I can forgive quite a bit, since it's largely to fill in this walking time in an enjoyable fashion. However...Never have I been so fed up with a book! The first fifth of the book I was okay with, the exposition was a bit excessive (and could have been handled better, as it came across a bit condescending to the reader), but I was willing to look past that. After that, it became increasing infuriating (I'll get to why in a moment), and I found myself rolling my eyes, and muttering 'ugh' and sighing to myself, as the narrator droned on (doing the best with what he was given). I probably looked crazy.. I ended up turning it off halfway through, and have since switched to re-listening to the Silo series (fantastic by the way), as I'd rather repeat a good book, than listen to this one. Which is saying a LOT since I even allowed myself to zone out during this book, and even that couldn't make it tolerable.Okay, now for reasons I can think of at the moment..**The dialogue.. oh god, the dialogue. Enough said.**The characters are either ridiculously dense, or incredibly clever. It's as though they were given lists of prerequisite skills/knowledge before embarking on this journey--in that each seems to know exactly the right information on cue as needed.
