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.

From Kirkus Reviews
“This is a page-turning, apocalyptic thriller that manages to imbue some nice original twists… Conceptually, Extinction Point is fantastic… A recommended, fun, summer blockbuster-type of read.”
Review
"Paul Jones has started a refreshingly unique Post-Apocalyptic series, unlike anything I have read in the genre... Paul Jones' ability to bring complex concepts to life through description and narrative is awe inspiring. Few authors could successfully create the world that emerges after the 'red rain.' Even fewer could relate the experience to readers in such vivid detail." – Steven Konkoly, Author of The Jakarta Pandemic and Black Flagged & Black Flagged Redux
"Think "Day of the Triffids" meets "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" meets "I am Legend" and you still won't have grasped the full scope of the apocalypse in Paul Jones' artfully crafted tale of extinction and survival."– David P. Forsyth, Author of the Voyage of the Dead series
"Holy red smoke! This book scared me. I like scary books but this book SCARED me... The strength of this story is the details and the believability. The author makes the reader truly believe the events in the book. I loved how every move Emily made was described and how the reader could go "NOOOO" when you watched Emily go somewhere where you knew trouble was waiting!" – Four out of Five Skulls, BadassBookReviews.com

A native of Cardiff, Wales, Paul Antony Jones now resides near Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife. He has worked as a newspaper reporter and commercial copywriter, but his passion is penning fiction. A self-described science geek, he’s a voracious reader of scientific periodicals, as well as a fan of things mysterious, unknown, and on the fringe. That fascination inspired Extinction Point, his first novel in a proposed series following heroine Emily Baxter’s journey into the bizarre new alien world our earth has become.

A review written in the style of "Extinction Point"
By J. Boynton
A review written in the style of "Extinction Point":
"Karen read the book, turning the pages with her hand. She remembered how her grandmother had taught her how to read back on the farm. She had turned the pages with her hand, guiding Karen's young hand as it turned the pages. Thank god she'd shown her how to do it! Suddenly Karen realized she was hungry. She felt a gnawing sensation of hunger in her stomach. When had she last eaten? She needed to eat before she tried to write her book review. She went to the kitchen to make a sandwich because she was hungry, but on the way to the kitchen she tripped over the edge of a throw rug and fell to the floor. When she finally regained consciousness hours later, the pain was excruciating. The thick carpeting had done nothing to break her fall. Everything hurt. She felt like she'd been run over by a truck. Had she broken her arm? Ruptured her spleen? Did she have brain damage? Gingerly, she tried to move her shoulder. A wave of pain and nausea flooded over her, and she passed out again.
When she awoke, Karen realized she was still hungry. That sandwich wasn't going to make itself. Hobbling into the kitchen, she opened the refrigerator door and took out a package of sliced turkey that had been hidden in the back behind a jar of pickles. She rolled up one slice of turkey into a tube and took a bite. Then she took two slices of turkey and two slices of bread, spread some mayonnaise on the bread, cut some tomatoes into quarter-inch-thick slices, sprinkled on some pepper, and assembled it all into a sandwich. She ate the sandwich, now wondering how she was going to write her book review semiconscious with a bad shoulder and maybe a ruptured spleen and brain damage. She had never learned to type on her computer. She'd probably do it wrong or kill herself trying to maneuver her fingers around the keyboard. No, better to hand-write the review and send it by mail. No! Even better to hand-write the review and walk the 4,000 miles to the editorial office to hand-deliver it. That made sense! Karen moved slowly over to the great big wooden roll-top desk, being careful not to cause her spleen and/or shoulder further injury. On the way to the desk, she tripped over the rug again and this time she knocked her shin against the end table, tipping over a lighted candle and setting the throw pillow on fire. Oh no! She watched in horror and dismay as her favorite pillow went up in flames. She grabbed the throw rug and beat out the fire. What a day! Then she went over to her desk and found her favorite pen and two sheets of off-white paper (never bright white!) and started to write her review."
The review
The only intriguing thing about this poorly written, poorly conceived, illogical, and just plain boring novel is "The Mystery of Its Many Oddly Similar-Sounding Five-Star Reviews." The main character--the only character--lacks any compelling qualities. She's not smart or clever or funny. She has no common sense. She's unbelievably clumsy, and her injuries are way out of proportion with her accidents. Also, almost nothing happens in this book. Considering it's supposed to be dealing with an extinction-level event and post-apocalyptic New York, that's a pretty amazing achievement. The detailed description given to everyday actions is excruciating and unnecessary (changing a battery, packing a suitcase, shopping at the market, making a sandwich). And repetitive. Then there's the "refusing to drive a car" problem mentioned by other reviewers. It's a huge issue, and it should have been worked out by the author in an earlier draft. Likewise the "let's stock up on canned goods and huge bottles of water for the bike trip" problem. She must have a magic bicycle, magic backpack, and superhuman strength to ride a bike loaded up with what must have been 100+ pounds of stuff. I have no doubt this was written without any editorial involvement. It reads like a first draft, and a bad one.

No Resolution, Questions Left Unanswered
By Brother Ken
I have no problem with a series. Book One? Okay, I'll try that. The problem I have is that this is not a full book. Well, it's as long as a book, but it doesn't have a full story arc. This reads like the first part of a book stretched out to make it long enough to call a book. But there is no resolution for the reader. The story just stops, and if the reader wants to know what happens next, they have to wait for the next book.
A properly constructed series of books has a complete story arc in each book, with a continuing story running through the series. Extinction Point starts a story, then leaves the reader hanging. This reader feels cheated.
What I liked about this book was the basic premise: the red rain and what starts to happen after that.
Unfortunately, a good premise isn't enough. There is a long list of other problems:
Emily is the ONLY person in all of NYC that survives? Why? We never find out.
Dragging a body down the hallway exhausts her to the point of near-collapse?
Biking to ALASKA seems more workable than teaching herself to drive? Seriously?
A magical backpack that holds 2 parkas, several sweaters, snow boots, 2 pairs of sneakers, tee shirts, trousers, underwear, socks, and a supply of canned goods. (My biggest suitcase wouldn't hold all that.)
Emily starts off cursing like a sailor and never quits. This did not endear her to me. I never really warmed to her. She makes odd decisions. She's accident prone. Her injuries are always more serious than seemed feasible. On her first foray out for food and supplies, she goes across the street to the store that she saw being looted from her apartment window. Everything in NY is hers for the taking, and she picks through the debris of a looted store. Really? As the new Eve, she's sub-par.
There are technical problems as well, the worst being the continual misuse of the hyphen. It seemed like every page has at least one unnecessary hyphen. It was highly distracting.
Repetition was another problem. In the first chapter Emily goes to a café. She looks in. It's deserted and she has her pick of the tables. She goes in, greets the owner, and orders a BLT and Cappuccino (though all this takes many paragraphs). Again, the café is deserted and she has her pick of the tables. This sort of problem is, well, repeated.
The fitted bed sheet was "elasticated" (should be elasticized). She tried the website for the "Whitehouse." You know, that place the President lives. (White House.) Those were just two I noted, though there were others.
I slogged through this book because I really wanted to know what happens to Emily. The level of detail is excessive and slows down the story. Everything takes too long. Pages of inner speculation. Detailed descriptions of walking down the hallway or climbing the seventeen floors to the apartment she clings to. I really didn't care what streets she took to get to the bike store. By the time I reached about 80% it was clear there would be no resolution, unless it was a quick, unsatisfying wrap-up.
If you like drawn out, bloody, detail-saturated stories that leave you hanging until you can purchase the next book (which may or may not be out yet when you read this review), and the promise from the author that you will have to purchase maybe four more books before you get an ending, then this might be for you. If you like tight, concise writing that moves the story forward and a resolution at the end, give this one a pass.

NO WAY this is a 4 star book
By Amazon Customer
Amazon really is going to have to put some work into how reviews are listed and judged as authentic because I find it impossible that this book is getting the good reviews it is. The book has a great and intriguing original premise and plot line but is quickly lost in mind numbing, endless dribble as you read every thought the main character has. "How many pairs of underwear should I pack for my flight of survival out of the city"- yep, this important fact is there. The main character is a grown woman who lives in New York City. Even though she grew up on a farm she doesn't know how to drive a car and therefore decides she has to ride her bike to Alaska to find the other surviors instead of trying to learn to drive on the endless open roads. LOL! Really? I think my 14 yeard old, whose never driven would figure it out- gas for go and brake for stop. Not like she has to worry about hitting someone- there all dead. Instead she goes shopping for the numerous supplies she needs (you see the entire list because it decribes every detail of every item right down to tampons- so much fun to go shopping)and then somehow she is able to load what has to be about 150 pounds of stuff on this bike.
The worst part for me was how early in the book she's in a dark office building where she's distracted by a scary something and then proceeds to trip over something and fall on a desk and then to the ground. Amazingly she feels like she's broken a rib that has punctured her lung as well as maybe dislocating her shoulder. She ends up with just a completely bruised face and terrible shoulder/arm pain where she can hardly lift her arm and we hear about for the next 50 pages. She even drops a knife when she falls and the tip of the knife is broken off! Come on, did she fall out of 3rd story window or just trip over a trash can and go boom. Ridiculous.
She also talks to survivors in Alaska after an amazing day of seeing crazy things happening that will affect overall survival of earth in general. Does she share any of this stuff with the scientists in Alaska who have no idea what's happening in the local events? No, because it was would sound just to crazy. What? Every person on earth is pretty much dead and she holds back information for these scientist to maybe learn from. Come on.
How an author could come up with such a great and unique concept and then end up writing this bore is pretty amazing.I could go on and on with the stupidity in this book but I guess I'll stop raving on. I don't suggest you get this book.
