First comes the red rain: a strange, scarlet downpour from a cloudless sky that spreads across cities, nations, and the entire globe. In a matter of panicked hours, every living thing on earth succumbs to swift, bloody death. Yet Emily Baxter, a young newspaper reporter, is mysteriously spared—and now she’s all alone. But watching the happy life she built for herself in New York City slip away in the wake of a monstrous, inexplicable plague is just the beginning of Emily’s waking nightmare. The world isn’t ending; it’s only changing. And the race that once ruled the earth has now become raw material for use by a new form of life never before seen…on this planet. With only wits, weapons, and a bicycle, Emily must undertake a grueling journey across a country that’s turning increasingly alien. For though she fears she’s been left to inherit the earth, the truth is far more terrifying than a lifetime of solitude.

Things get better in the second book, but this one was not ready for publication. I was definitely feeling very generous in the giving out of stars because my expectations were not that high, but I don't really think this author is a writer. It's the excruciating detail; the awkward sentences; the...
Concept good, execution didn't match my expectations based on ratings and reviews. Far too many 5 star reviews.
I've been a fan of Paul Jones ever since I read his book 'Towards Yesterday' last year, and as one of the first books ever reviewed on The Aussie Zombie it's got a special place in my history. When I found out via a Goodreads group that his new book, Extinction Point was due for release, I religious...
After reading a glowing review of this book from a GoodReads friend and finding that it was available for a mere $2.99 on Kindle, I had to snatch it up. Then, on a sleepless night when I was sick of the never-ending book I was reading, I decided to give this one a try. Oh, sweet popcorn! I was soon ...
