    About this audiobook

    Almost two years since the Uprising, the world has drastically changed.

    Sophia has taken up the mantle of the world's champion superhero Freedom.

    However due to her cryptic message to the United Nations the world is divided in regards to her role in it.

    To some, she is a beacon of hope, while others see her as a new global threat they must find a way to deal with.

    The aftermath of Peace's attempted takeover of the planet has given rise to superhuman boosting and genetic hate groups.

    In the midst of new chaos and global tensions, a sinister plan is being hatched against the inhabitants of Earth amongst the stars, while an ancient evil has been released slowly gaining strength and making his own plans for world domination.

    Genesis promises to give birth to many revelations.

    When all is said and done, not only will EVO Universe never be the same . . . it might not survive.

      Love these, you need to write more! Good descriptions on the fights. Great characters and showing how they live. Love how you show the mother daughter day to day.

      4/5ths of the novel deals with the politics and technological breakthroughs of building a colony ship that would last 10,000 years - long enough to reach a distant star. The remainder is about life aboard a closed environment that has a small contingent of technicians and a much society of farmers drawn from a fundamentalist religious sect called the Believers. This is really two stories, one dovetailed into the next.I've got some serious mixed feelings about this novel. On the one hand, Paul wrote a compelling story, but on the other I found myself skimming at times. I realize that Paul has created a future world, requiring a vast amount of detail, but at times the story got lost in the clutter. In one scene it took 6 pages to get a character from one point to another several hundred feet higher.I found this book unnerving and frightening as it so fully reflected much of what goes on in the world of politics and religion throughout history. The characters were very real, such that I found myself demanding that some of them grow spines and stand up to the evil so abundant in the pages. But I also understand that not everyone can be a Rambo, practiced in the art of killing without thought and without emotion. The characters showed emotional and physical weakness and the frailties of the human condition. It also displayed personal strength and how great minds can be so easily misguided, embracing the very evil they so vehemently denounce, all in the name of God.I was disturbed when one of the few characters that showed common sense, logic and intelligence was murdered in the act of rescuing another survivor from the evil clutches of Bishop Nemmer and his army of heartless murdering inquisitors. For that I have to hand it to Paul for being able to stir such deep emotions in me.This is a cruel novel, steeped in mindless faith, ignorance and power. Ugly as it is, I think Paul is one of the few writers who can look so deeply into the hearts of men and find what should be so clearly seen, but often is hidden beneath the cloak of piety and good works. And yet, the novel rejoices in the technological abilities of man.I'm not one to pick a novel apart over typos, but there were far too many. You'd think a novel published by Baen would be almost error free.In a way I was saddened that the novel ended where it did. I felt it was incomplete, but then I could see where this could lead to a series. Still, once I got a couple chapters in I felt compelled to complete the reading even though it was far too detailed for my taste.The key word, if one must be sought to describe this novel, is 'disturbing'.

      A series of stories from the early history of The Ark. While it was interesting the characters aren't around long enough to get to know them well.
