Revelations by Paul Antony Jones
3.0
The Extinction Point novels are a series of post-apocalyptic adventure novels - though inconsistent in tone and pacing and sloppily written in stretches, the first two were fairly enjoyable. My interest was more in exploring the author's world than Emily's own journey; my main incentive for reading Revelations was to complete the picture.
If you've read the other books, there's nothing here that will surprise you: the new characters are amiable enough, though I found some of their quirks to be a little distracting. I found some parts just didn't add up(may just be me, but why would you go to all the effort of deploying a mobile surveillance unit to assess potential danger – see it destroyed by something incredibly dangerous – and then insist on going anyway?) though the deal-breaker was always going to be how the story concluded.
Looking at other reviews, it seems the ending has been quite divisive. For my money, I thought it was quite a novel conclusion – half-expected, but with a slant that I found very intriguing.
And it seems as though there may be another adventure in this world to come. Will I read this? Yes, I probably will.
