This was my first book by this author and it won't be the last. Whilst reading I could really see this as a movie. Whilst reading you didn't know who to trust and I do love that in a book. This was another book that I had to read in one session to learn what happens next. I was given an advance copy by the publishers and netgalley but the review is entirely my own.
all the previous Riddle books were far betterI loved all of the previous books. The characters were more realistic. This book’s storyline was a little predictable. Hope you write more. You are a great author.
This book is one of those annoying cases where it's never quite bad enough to dnf, but also never good enough to entertain.The story is basically a treasure hunt with everything about it being very average. Characters, world building, prose, plot, pacing ... None of it was good. None of it was terrible. Okay, the riddles and their repetitive (and often lame) nature were pretty bad. But other than that it was okay. Never anything more, though.You've probably experienced this as well; where you ar...
This is possibly the worst book I’ve ever read. Why did I complete it? Well, it was easy to read, and I like the apocalypse genre so I wanted to know what happened and how on earth the writer was going to tie up his millions of loose ends. Spoiler alert; he didn’t.Such poor character development, unlikeable characters as a whole. Plus the writing is so poor. Owen is a hero, he’s a fireman, he gets dressed fast because he was a fireman. Reference maybe 50. Maya and Owen can sense things are wrong...
I'd like this more - if it was better.😆 Geez. Aren't there a lot of post-apocalyptic books around these days? I've tried a few other books by this author and haven't enjoyed them (even abandoning one of them), but I managed to plough through this one. Soooo, Hoomans have fallen off their perch from "The Change". Hmm...we never did find out exactly what The Change was. My guess was giant gang warfare. There were lots of A.I.s making our future robots go troppo (bonkers); maybe that was it. Anyway...
This is the first book I’ve read of A.G. Riddle, and it looks like I’ve found a new author to read. I’ll need to check out his backlist. In The Extinction Trials, six people wake up in a research facility and find they’ve been saved from the recent apocalypse that wiped out most of the people and created a toxic atmosphere. They are told they’re part of the trials to restart humanity.From there, they follow abstract clues to make their way to another location where they hope to find answers as t...
Maybe you have seen the 1997 movie The Cube. If so, something in this book will sound a little familiar to you. In the movie, 7 people awake in a cube shaped maze with deadly traps. This time around, we get a bunch of people in an underground research facility. And no obvious traps. But not less deadly. Only we don't start at this point like the movie.******************************Read the interview with A. G. Riddle!******************************Instead, we start into a world of tomorrow that s...
We know the truth: we can’t stop what’s coming. We can’t prevent the next extinction event. What we can do… is control what happens after.I was curious and googled the major extinctions in the past. According to The National Museum of Natural History there were 5 major ones. The first was due to global cooling, the second is still unknown, the third and fourth were from super volcanos, and the fifth was from an asteroid. You've probably heard about the eruption of the La Palma volcano (Canary Is...
In a Nutshell: A pretty enjoyable dystopian thriller with an ending I didn’t see coming at all!Story:Six strangers wake up in a strange bunker with no memory of how they got there. They learn that they are a part of something called “The Extinction Trials”, which is a scientific experiment to restart the human race after some mysterious event called “The Change” messed up the world. They soon realise that things aren’t quite straightforward and secrets are in abundance. And none of them know who...
This post apocalyptic story felt like one (very long) treasure hunt. The characters followed cryptic clues to escape from a variety of threats in order to reach safety. There was too much going on, including: The Change, storms, fires, androids, secret identities, lost memories, a virus, robot spiders, mad scientists, a deadly atmosphere, warring factions, etc. It was all very confusing for most of the book and I didn’t care about the characters. I wouldn’t have selected anyone in this group to
5 stars, The world as they knew it has ended, now what?THE EXTINCTION TRIALS by A.G. RiddleA small group of people wakes up in a fallout shelter and as they are learning about what is going on, one of the people waking up murders the man who was telling them about the state of the world at this time. They find that they have to work together to get any further with their escape.Highly recommend a great dystopian science fiction novel.Many thanks to #netgalley #legionbooks for the complimentary c...
The Extinction Trials is a modern science fiction adventure that owes a lot to the television show Lost with its hidden hatches and secret puzzle clues of numbers. One difference though is none of the participants here know how they got where they are, entombed in chambers or what’s going on in the rest of the world. It’s also a dark apocalyptic story about a future where the human race is nearly wiped out and the few survivors are at war with each other, never trusting each other, always spying...
