𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 by Geoff Jones. Book I in 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨 trilogy. An alien pod opens to reveal a mysterious jungle. Blood pools on the ground. 𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 A civilization-ending comet is headed for Earth. Two days before impact, thousands of mysterious pods land in a swath across North America. When people touch them, the pods open. Anyone who climbs inside is carried away. No one knows where the pods came from and no one knows where they go, but finding one is David Williams' only chance to save his family from the end of the world. ... and escaping Earth is just the beginning. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨 trilogy begins with 𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, a post-apocalyptic science-fiction adventure filled with unforgettable heroes, terrifying monsters, and heart-pounding action. 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 by Geoff Jones. Book II in 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨 trilogy. An alien pod opens to reveal the blood-spattered ruins and rubble of a city as ominous clouds approach from the west. 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 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 continues in 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, a post-apocalyptic science-fiction adventure filled with unforgettable heroes, terrifying monsters, and heart-pounding action. 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙮 by Geoff Jones. Book III in 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨 trilogy. An alien pod opens to reveal an idyllic valley at sunset as a monstrous horde crawls from the ruins of a small town. 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙮 Earth has been devastated by a comet. Just before impact, alien caretakers collected human specimens and placed them in a wildlife preserve on an orbiting starship. A small group led by Sierra Preston and David Williams escaped, only to find the ruins of Earth inhabited by vicious creatures known as gorgers. The group returned to the alien ship, determined to convince the caretakers to release the remaining human specimens and help them defeat the gorgers. Unfortunately, the aliens have a different agenda. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨 trilogy comes to a thrilling conclusion in 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙮, a post-apocalyptic science-fiction adventure filled with unforgettable heroes, terrifying monsters, and heart-pounding action. 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙀𝙍𝙑𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙊𝙁 𝙎𝙋𝙀𝘾𝙄𝙀𝙎 Goodreads review excerpts I - 𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - ★★★★☆ 4.11 (161 ratings) Absolutely first class story, incredibly detailed and unique feel with so many rich characters. It has 𝙇𝙤𝙨𝙩 meets 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨 meets 𝙅𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙠 with a huge helping of scifi. It's an enjoyable read that moves quickly, with multiple POVs providing a range of perspectives, and the blend of sci-fi, survival, and post-apocalyptic themes is well done. Leaves you helpless to stop reading because you want to find out what is going to happen. II - 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 - ★★★★☆ 4.37 (54 ratings) The first book in the series had plenty of tension and intrigue, but this sequel takes it to another level entirely. III - 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙮 - ★★★★★ 4.71 (7 ratings) It’s full of high stakes, well-drawn characters, incredible worldbuilding, and a great balance of tension and payoff. If you love character-driven, fast- paced action and adventure stories with a touch of mystery, make this series your next read! I loved the original idea for this apocalyptic/dystopian novel, merging horror and science fiction seamlessly, creating such an amazing story I hated to see it end.

𝙎𝙄𝙎𝙐: 𝙍𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 is magnifcent.

Aatami Korpi is the world's greatest superhero.

He isn't taking out a clown or a glove-wearing-grimace. He's killing nazis and russian aggressors.

Go see SISU 2 on the big screen!

Great news for SoCal cinephiles (and visitors)!

I saw 𝘼 𝙌𝙪𝙞𝙚𝙩 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚: 𝘿𝙖𝙮 𝙊𝙣𝙚 at the Westwood Village just before it closed for renovations. It's a magnificent venue.

I found it powerful, compelling, and momentous. Kudos to Kathryn Bigelow, Noah Oppenheim, & all involved.

The threepeat structure worked for me.

I love seeing new reviews for 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙮.

"There's hardly a dull moment spent away from dodging ravenous creatures, cattle-prod armed drones, and power-hungry humans. As always, the characters are central to the experience and we become bonded to each of them."

Who's up for some hard-hitting post-apocalyptic sci-fi?

𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙮 is now available on #audiobook.

Narrator Stacy Carolan does an amazing job completely inhabits these characters with a vivid performance that's also subtle and nuanced.
