ARIA : Returning Left Luggage: Book Two of The ARIA Trilogy: Humanity On the Edge of Extinction

4.0 out of 5 stars (21)

They wiped out most of Humanity in a split second of universal time.
~~ It’s the apocalypse. It’s the extinction of mankind. ~~!


The Andromeda Strain meets Memento...

Meet the aliens who came from some deep space universe and brought a pandemic of infectious amnesia to Earth with their "left luggage." In this gripping ARIA sequel,
Returning Left Luggage, the alien invaders ignore the remaining human survivors or enslave them. Will the disparate last survivors form an alliance? The aliens, however, don’t bargain on encountering the psychotic Dr Antonio Menzies, and when he discovers how to use their telepathic-controlled gadgets, odd things happen.

Meanwhile, Ryder Nape - a survivor who escaped the infection - and his isolation group is in the South Pacific facing an invasion of amnesiacs. In France, a bunch of uninfected students discover the truth behind the aliens and their spreading, unkillable bindweed. The survivors' passion for survival and dystopian experience drive them towards revenge, but can they win against such a strange foe? Can they make a first strike count? The destiny of the human race may be in their hands.

ARIA: Alien Retrograde Infectious Amnesia
Without our memories, who are we?

"ARIA... is a well-written novel with the pace and suspense of a video game (BioShock immediately comes to mind). The balance between character development and plot progression is managed smoothly, along with the thematics, which take the reader through a series of all-too-believable scenarios, chillingly showing how easy it would be for an advanced group of aliens to undermine the human race and have us destroy one another, without the need for any additional weapons or warfare."
— Magdelena Ball

“Geoff Nelder inhabits Science Fiction the way other people inhabit their clothes.”
— Jon Courtenay Grimwood

“Geoff Nelder's ARIA has the right stuff. He makes us ask the most important question in science fiction--the one about the true limits of personal responsibility.”
—Brad Linaweaver

Robert J. Sawyer calls
ARIA a “fascinating project.”

“ARIA has an intriguing premise, and is written in a very accessible style.”
—Mike Resnick
