The Apocalypse Was Just the Setup | Rule of Extinction
from Fantasy for the Ages · host Jim Scriven
What if the end of the world… isn’t actually the end?In today’s episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I’m diving into Rule of Extinction by Geoff Jones—the first book in The Preservation of Species series—and this one completely surprised me. What starts as a familiar apocalyptic setup quickly becomes something far more mysterious, layered, and unsettling.This is a story where the stakes are sky-high, the answers are just out of reach, and no character feels safe. If you enjoy fast-paced sci-fi with big ideas, strong character arcs, and a premise that keeps evolving as you read, this might be one you don’t want to miss.Huge thanks to Geoff Jones for putting this one on my radar—you were absolutely right about this book.⸻⚔️ In this video:• Spoiler-lite overview of Rule of Extinction• 9 reasons you might love this sci-fi thriller• A few reasons it might not work for everyone• My final thoughts on this intriguing start to a new series⸻👍 If you enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, and horror content like this, be sure to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE to the channel, and hit that notification bell so you don’t miss what’s next.💬 Have you read Rule of Extinction?
