The ice is coming. It was the last thing we expected, but the world is freezing. A new ice age has dawned. Billions have fled the glaciers. A cataclysmic war is coming. In orbit, a group of scientists are running the Winter Experiments, a last-ditch attempt to understand why the planet is cooling. None of the climate models they build make sense. But then they discover an anomaly, an unexplained variation in solar radiation...and something else. Close to the burning edge of the sun, they catch a fleeting glimpse of something that shouldn’t be there....

Publisher's Summary
A deadly outbreak in Kenya. A conspiracy beyond imagination. And a race to save humanity in its darkest hour.
From A. G. Riddle, the worldwide best-selling author of The Atlantis Gene and Departure, comes a novel that will change everything you think you know about pandemics.
A hundred miles north of Alaska, an American Coast Guard vessel discovers a sunken submarine at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. It has no national identification and doesn't match the records of any known vessel. Deep within, researchers find evidence of a scientific experiment that will alter our very understanding of the human race.
In Atlanta, Dr. Peyton Shaw is awakened by the phone call she has dreaded for years. As the CDC's leading epidemiologist, she's among the first responders to outbreaks around the world. It's a lonely and dangerous job, but it's her life - and she's good at it. This time she may have met her match. In Kenya, an Ebola-like pathogen has infected two Americans. One lies at death's door. With the clock ticking, Peyton assembles her team and joins personnel from the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the WHO. What they find in the remote village is beyond their worst fears. As she traces the origin of the pathogen, Peyton begins to believe that there is more to this outbreak - that it may be merely the opening act in a conspiracy with far-reaching consequences.
In Berlin, Desmond Hughes awakens in a hotel room with no memory of how he got there or who he is. On the floor he finds a dead security guard from an international pharmaceutical company. His only clue leads him to Peyton Shaw - a woman who seems to know him but refuses to tell him how. With the police searching the city for him, Desmond desperately tries to piece together what happened to him. To his shock and horror, he learns that he may be involved in causing the outbreak - and could hold the only key to stopping it.
As the pathogen spreads around the world, Peyton and Desmond race to unravel the conspiracy behind the pandemic - and uncover secrets some want to keep buried.

Well written and engagingly performed
This story has a similar feel as the Atlantis series. Just plausible enough to be believable: just fantastic enough to work. Sometimes the story seems to slow down, but I never felt disengaged. Riddle uses a great deal of memories / flashbacks. Each is a self contained short story that reveals some essential part of the character. There are a few unexpected twists near the end. Edoardo Bellerini is an excellent reader. Female voices are believable and varied, and accents are consistent. Downloading Extinction Files book 2 right now!

So glad to be introduced to this
Well crafted story. A mix of a Bourne movie with an epidemic outbreak story. Enjoyable character development. A mix of a foreseeable future combined with current realism.

A twister at every turn
Pandemic was on an audible promo for 7.50$ and I had just finished the last book in the undying mercenaries series so decided to give it a shot. The story does start off a little slow but picks up the pace quickly. My favourite part of the book is how unsure you are of each character but once you learn their back story you develop an emotional attachment and as the narrative progresses it only gets stronger. I would highly recommend if your into science, tech, politics and secret society’s. #Audible1

Surprisingly good.
I was expecting this to be a little slower than it was. It was here and there patchy and they lost the excitement that was being built. But overall it was well worth the listen.

Great story good narration
The pandemic was a great story entertaining to the last chapter. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the authors continual use of cliff hangers. I found it a bit annoying.

Australians will be offended ....
.... by the AWFUL Australian accents. Why, why, why choose a book to narrate if it is full of Australians and you can’t do the accent?
But his normal American voice is lovely to listen to and I really loved the story and the characters. Just going to get the second book in the series now!

Keeps you wanting more!
I found this book through the recommendation titles and downloaded it it on a whim. I wasn’t disappointed!
A great mix of deep relationships, great narrative depth that kept me hooked!
I was actually happy to hear there was another book in this series and will be following this author and their other titles for sure!!
I’m new to audio books and I don’t have much to compare it too but I know almost anyone would be able to enjoy this book!

I couldn’t get into this
I know most people would have enjoyed this read, but, I just couldn’t get into this one. I would listen for a while and then go to another book, then return because I had nothing else, then, disappear again until I had no choice. I think some aspects of the book triggered me or made me uncomfortable. I think this reflects more on me than on the book itself.
