Extinction Point #4
Genesis
After an alien invasion devastates humanity, a battered group of survivors huddles in a remote outpost, fighting to endure in a now-hostile world. Resources are dwindling, and internal power struggles threaten to tear apart the fragile last vestige of human society.
Emily Baxter remains haunted by vivid dreams of Earth’s new masters. With these nightmares comes concern for her son, Adam, the posthuman world’s firstborn child—a child who is ominously marked with red-flecked eyes. While Emily’s husband is off on a dangerous mission, she is accused of committing an unthinkable crime and resolves to clear her name by journeying, along with her stepdaughter and their dog, Thor, into the alien wilderness that was once Earth.
All around Emily lurk mysterious new dangers that threaten her and her companions at every turn. Are these perils the final stages of an apocalyptic invasion or the harbinger of something even worse yet to come?

Flat writing. Tropes galore. Stuff that just doesn't make sense, even in its own world. Let's make the evil people so bad we'd want to stone them at first sight? Let's put our MCs in dire straits but take a quick walk to the beach to have sex. (I always cringe when a writer mentions a woman's bra. It just takes me out of a futuristic world altogether. Don't know why.) Trope, trope, trope. Okay, there'd be very few books without'em, but this one was too loaded with'em.
I read about 100 pages in and was yawning. I cared about no one in this book and didn't feel myself get pulled in or anything, or whatever it is that we readers crave when we read a real good book. I just had the sensation of reading ... a ... book. No, wow where did the minutes go. No, hey leave me alone, I AM READING HERE. Nothing. Nada.
I think I started disliking the book when the main evil villain woman, who's old, ya know, at least fifty, kicks a dog. Well so what about it? She'd have been more deliciously evil and duplicitous if she let the dog lick her face. The story itself is about how a handful of people are struggling to survive after a virulent red mold more or less wipes most living things off the face of the Earth. Great idea, and the details surrounding this calamity are well-written. In fact the world-building (hate that word) is great, too. No question that this writer can write, but the people are so wooden, the dialogue so stale - if you read sections aloud your mouth will just dry up. It's so UNrealistic, considering the fantastic premise.
I won this book from Goodreads, and am always grateful to them for having the giveaways AND the publishers for providing the books.

May 28, 2016My thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.
My apologies. I read the first two books and hated them. Tried the third book and just couldn't put myself through the misery of reading it or this one. I'm sure there are others out there that loved this series. I am not one of them.
Due to my lack of reading this book, I don't feel that I can properly rate this book using the star system. However, having hated the first two and cringing at picking up the third, I think I can safely say that I can pass on reading this one.
Not for me, but everyone has different tastes. This may be your cup, it's just not mine.

This book is definitely going on my top books read this year. I have such a great feeling after finishing this book. If I had to sum up my feelings in two words it would be “blown away!”.
Genesis is the fourth book in the Extinction Point series by Paul Antony Jones. If you have not had the luck to come across this brilliant series yet I suggest you go forth to your local bookstore or online book supplier and start reading because you are missing out my friend! If you want to just straight into Genesis and were wondering if you had to read the previous three in order to understand it… my answer would be, no, you don’t have to have read the previous novels. There is enough background and world building for you to get enough of a picture of what has happened in the storyline. It would boost your enjoyment and immerse you further in the world if you read the previous three novels first though. My suggestion would be to read them to get the full experience, but if you are impatient to start this brilliant sounding novel then dive right in.
It was such a surprise to me when Jones announced that he was writing a fourth book in the series as I was sure that it was originally a trilogy. Needless to say that I was over the moon when I saw the announcement, pre-ordered the book and read it the first day that I got it. The fourth book picks up a little while after the conclusion of the third book. What is left of humanity is clustered together, living in a new hostile world with dwindling resources. Emily is haunted by vivid dreams, a remnant of her time with the Caretakers. Disaster ensures and Emily finds herself on a journey across the alien landscape with her adopted daughter and her loyal dog Thor.
I have to say once again that I was blown away by this novel. It is full of action, adventure, heart pounding adrenaline filled moments and heartfelt moments too. This book is pretty much the whole package. There is a little something for everyone. This book flows on really well from book three even though some time has passed. It was a very believable transition which was fantastic. I am still completely attached to Emily, Rhiannon, Mac and of course Thor. These are just such genuine characters that you cannot help but find yourself attached to them. I gave this novel a complete 5/5 stars as it was just such an enthralling read, which I could not put down. That is exactly what I want from a good book.
I have been an avid fan of this series for a long time. I love Paul Antony Jones’ work and will continue to read anything he writes. I highly recommend fans to read this novel to expand your Extinction Point experience and to anyone at all that love a good adventure/scifi/apocalyptic story then I say that the Extintion Point series is for you. Go forth and read!

Chuck Norris wishes he was Emily Baxter!
Paul Jones wants to make a living as a writer. I have no problems with that, but it seems he’s going to do it by squeezing as many books out of the Extinction series as the creators of Rocky Balboa made movies. Lucky for him, I don’t mind contributing a few bucks toward Paul’s retirement fund if he keeps pumping out exciting stories like this one. And in a magnanimous gesture I implore you NOT to read this book, UNLESS you read the other three first. It just won’t make sense otherwise...and it means Paul can retire earlier.
This is the ongoing saga of poor Emily Baxter, who, it seems, was walking under a ladder one day, when she accidentally blew up a mirror factory, which then toppled onto a black cat farm (killing all 126 black cats therein). Thus, she probably caused the end of the world as we know it, but before you go pointing the accusatory finger at her, consider this: Emily Baxter’s bad luck continues way after Apocalypse Day. She can’t even get through one week without 342 bad things happening to her. Yes – pity her, don’t blame her. Me? I think our Emmy is the thin woman’s answer to big Arnie Schwarzenegger
• Emily Baxter can take punishment like a teflon-coated German frypan.
• Emily Baxter has a man-sized version of a dawg named Thor.
• Emily Baxter can fly a Blackhawk helicopter.
• Emily Baxter can drive a truck, or a snowcat, or anything!
• Emily Baxter can escape from anywhere.
• Emily Baxter can break into anywhere.
• Emily Baxter can forge wild rivers while carrying a 500 pound backpack.
• Emily Baxter can karate chop a diesel locomotive in half. (Okay – slight hyperbole there.)
• Chuck Norris wishes he was Emily Baxter. (And that’s definitely true since the aliens probably turned Chuck Norris into a nice grove of purple stinkweed.)
Yes folks, if you plugged Emmy into a Badassery Meter, the needle would be way into the red zone. I just wonder how Paul Jones keeps thinking up all these ultimate “bad days” for our Ms Baxter. I certainly hope he still can, because I am looking forward to the next heart-stopping volume.
Hurry up Paul – I’m very impatient! (And Paul - I took half a star off because I didn't like the ending - it came too soon.)

Enjoyed this book too.Yet again I admit not thinking too much if all was what you would doing a situation like that.I think not;) but it was an easy read and I am glad my dad asked me for these books. I love survival dystopian stories.

With the end of book three you did get the impression that the series has ended but no there is still more to come.
The survivors are living in California and they have been joined by many others, the problem of too many cooks comes up very quickly.
Emily is now loved up with Mac from the British submarine and they have welcomed a son, the first child to be born in the scary new alien world.
Book four is very volatile with the newcomers to the colony very quickly asserting themselves and putting noses out of joint. More people of course means less resources and the survival of the colony comes under threat.
The alien invaders are never far from mind and Emily finds herself making the one journey a mother never wants to take, never mind one in a country full of aliens.
Once more this was a good read and this series has been consistently enjoyable, yes of course it is far fetched but isn't that the whole point of reading a book about aliens in the first place?
The way this book ended as well makes me think that their could be a fifth book, I hope so as it ends on a bit of a cliff hanger.
Anyway long story short, Extinction Point is a cracking series with thrills and scares a-plenty. Well worth a read.

Book 4 in the series starts out a little slow and then becomes the same type of page turner as the ones before. Emily's back on the road, encountering strange creatures and moving toward the goal of recovering her kidnapped baby. The ending parts have a few interesting twists that ensure a sequel in the works. I'm sure I'll see this series through to the end.

The fourth in an ongoing series of a postapocalyptic earth devastated by an alien invasion. The series has evolved from horror scifi in book one to humanity trying to survive in a changed world. I hope the next book comes soon.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley
This book had a lot more going for it than the others. If you liked the last three, definitely stick it out for this one.

Great Read
Loved this book just as much as the first three. Very interesting and can't wait for the next book in this series!

A return to form after a rather underwhelming third entry.
The story here introduces a ton of new threats and brings us loads of compelling questions that had me unable to put the book down until I found the answers.
The lonely/unlikely survivor feeling of the first two novels is back here in full force. The third book (Revelations) leaned a little too much into the action with a bunch of gruff military bro dudes shooting at aliens. I feel this series is at its best when it has the vibe of The Last of Us rather than something like Gears of War.
I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. My only real negative is that during the middle, the journey of Emily and her companions drags a little bit too much as they struggle to reach their destination. That said, when Emily finally reaches her destination the answers and questions, we are given completely change of the game in this series. We are handed twist after twist in the final chapters of the book, and I could not put it down, finishing this one in a day. Some of the sci-fi story elements presented at the end reminded me of the overreaching plot of the Mass Effect series, one of my all-time favorite stories in gaming.
The end will have you ready to dive straight into the final entry without a second to waste. A must read for fans of sci-fi, horror, post-apocalyptic settings and fans of video games such as The Last of Us and Mass Effect.

May 16, 2022I really like this book Because I really like books that are adventurous and books that are like really mysterious And I have always liked books that talk about aliens And just things like that I have always been into aliens. And I have read a lot of books By Paul Anthony Jones Also my favorite character in this book Is Dr Sylvia because She is always the one that wants to go find out things and he wants to go explore a lot I kind of relate to him because He does a lot of the things that I would do And that's why he's my favorite character in the book. This book is definitely going on my top books read this year. I have such a great feeling after finishing this book Because I usually don't read books that often But when I actually read a book that I like Like this book it gives me a good feeling because it feels like I accomplished something When I read a big book like this Also another reason why I like this book Is because a lot of the people in this book Are my age or somewhere around my age and that gives me a better chance to understand the book more And I really like how the author wrote this book And I also like how a lot of this book Talks about the wilderness And That is my review about this book.

4 stars this time
I harbor a strong distaste for morons, ignorance, selfishness & stupidity. I find that humankind is full of that in the real world so in my books I prefer to steer clear of politics & politicization. It irks me that there is a level of that now involved. It disgusts me that the Sheep are now here in our, thus far, beautifully wrought fantastical fictional world. I mean, the world is ended, the aliens are here, our species essentially wiped out, and still humanity disappoints? In reality, probably yes. But not in my escapism thank you very much! And now I have to carry on to the next book just to see Emily accomplish her “get back” on the sadly realistic evil b**** that has become our antagonist (as if this world needed more of that!) when really all I want is to see how humanity (and our dear Emily) fares in this battle against a higher species, how she thrives when pitted against mind-bending truths! Ah well, I am not the author nor could I ever be, so I will suck it up and carry on… and carry on I will, for this series has been wonderfully vivid and entertaining, regardless of humanity’s oft repeating pitfalls now rearing it’s ugly head.

After the mild disappointment of the third book of the Extinction Point series, which dragged on and on with a finale over just a couple of small chapters, Book 4 Genesis left me thoroughly satisfied.
Emily’s tale and post apocalyptic adventures continue as leaves the camp in pursuit of her new baby Adam.
I’ve come to learn this author is incredibly wordy and descriptive, so with this in mind I was able to forgive the few places where a single scene happens over many pages. This however did not deter me from turning page after page after page in a flurry to discover the end of the story.
A fantastic and unexpected conclusion, with a great cliff hanger of the ending which leads beautifully into the next book - I am throughly looking forward to reading Kings.
PS - I really hope Valentine is killed off in the next book - what a psycho!

Fantastic as were the first three!
This has been my favorite series for Whitestone time. I have thoroughly enjoyed each book, and the story just keeps getting better with a good amount of twists here and there to take you away from the standard of expecting what condenser enough happens with so many books. I have read all four within a week after getting the first through prime. You went be disappointed! Characters are well rounded, nice the have a female lead that isn't consumed by the situation and just gets on with things. I have found myself wanting my favourite characters, including Thor the Alaskan malumute to survive through their many trials and tribulations which may end in certain death, some funny, some sad bits... But fantabulous read overall.

All of the Extinction point series are worth a read (apart from perhaps the final book as I have not read it yet) as general thriller /pulp sci-fi nonsense. That said I have enjoyed each of the first four books; the action scenes well described and vivid though the premise is something Messers Asimov, Brin, Clarke, Delaney (I could continue with the alphabet if you would like) etc would cast off as being a little lightweight for them.
Still an enjoyable read if you like an Armageddon scenario.
Well worth a kindle read at 99p. Not worth the exaggerated price of the last book. Not good enough to make you wish to pay more to find out what happens.

Wonderful addition to the Extinction Point Series!
Genesis is the fourth book in the Extinction Point Series and a lot of major events happen throughout this book. Mac has left Point Loma to travel to the world seed bank in Svalbard. There is a power struggle in Point Loma and while MAC is gone The caretakers kidnap Adam and Emily is charged with his murder. This book has plenty of action we are introduced to new animal species and we also learn some shocking information during the final pages. I can not wait to continue this adventure in the last book Kings!

Love what you've done with the...Earth?
I chose this rating because, while the story is imaginative, the writing is quality, and the tale fast-paced, no American that wasn't a scientist (and the character isn't) would mark distance in meters, and I hate continuity errors. That's all there is to hate about this series though. If you likes sci-fi, you'll love this book and this series! Be brave and dive in! That's what Emily would do!

I enjoyed the first three books in the series. But this book was definitely not as enjoyable to me. I listened to the audible versions. The narration in the first three books was very good. The narration in this book was very difficult to listen too. When the audible version of book 5 comes out I will be looking to see if the narrator is the same as book 4. If so, I probably will not buy it. The story itself was good but I had a some continuity issues in my opinion.
January 21, 2018
Jones's Extinction Point series appeared to end with book 3, Revelations—but apparently he decided to extend it, and Genesis is a good continuation of the story. It gets a little weird towards the end, but not unacceptably so. Look forward to seeing all that was hinted at being worked out in further sequels.

This could really be a good read if the language weren’t so horrible. Takes away from the story.. especially with a lady speaking so unbecoming. The storyline is interesting and I’m rooting for Emily and Rhiannon and Adam and Mac ... i think there is one more book. I will have to scitter thru it (a word used a lot in these books) lol.

Compulsively Readable Volume 4 In Post-Apoc Series
I'll bet you can't read just one. This series and it's likeable heroine continue her journey through an earth gone mad from alien interference. Mr. Jones is very good writer with a seemingly unlimited number of plot variations to keep pot boiling. Excellent series, sir.

My review
On the positive side the series is great as I'm a sci _fi nut. On the negative side however... The profanity laced pages are a complete waste. More than that though is the use of God's name used as profanity! All the profanity used in this story is completely unnecessary to make it a great read.

This book was so good that even though I finished it while traveling in Madagascar at a lodge with spotty Internet, I tried for the better part of 2 hours to buy it on line and have it so I could continue the story. Again, only 4 stars because the writing isn't strong.

Disappointed
The previous books were building one by one captivating me along the way, unfortunately I felt book four a little flat to the point where I now wonder if book five is worth the read, unfortunately the author has lost my interest with book four.

Not my favorite in the series but with an interesting and unpredicted twist. I'm here for it.
Now, I just wished I knew the final book (book 5, "Kings") never made it to audiobook format. I really want to know how the whole story ends!

Finally! Got to the end of book 4! I would definitely recommend reading the books in order with not too much time in between. It’s a very imaginative story, a compelling story of hope, courage and the will to survive.

Story meanders
As I read through this series I find myself skipping over the unnecessary pages of descriptive and repetitive text. I’m not sure if the author did this to draw additional book sales, but in this book the story only moved forward minimally.

The Wild ride continues!
The twists and turns continue as the story moves in unexpected directions. Good character development and past situations get turned on there head. I couldn't put it down!
