A review by eviljosh
Extinction Point by Paul Antony Jones
2.0
This wasn't a bad book, but I did not find it notable either.
World building was relatively limited, mostly along the lines of setting the stage for a greater mystery (the source of the extinction event and the reasons behind it) in the future. There was only a single character, for all intents and purposes, and for the most part it was a saga of her actions rather than a saga about her. It's difficult to judge how well she was developed since she did not have another character to act as a foil.
The engaging strand of the book was the mystery: what exactly is happening, and why? Why is she immune? If this is further developed in later books, then the series as a whole may be worth reading.
