An aeon ago it crashed into the frozen earth. Millennia later it was removed from the icy soil, still functioning. They opened it … they shouldn’t have.

Alex Hunter – in the mission that turned him from a normal man into the weapon known as the Arcadian – and the elite team of soldiers known as the Hotzone All-Forces Warfare Commandos must enter a hostile country to rescue a defected Chechen researcher from the centre of a country at war.

But the HAWCs are not the only ones looking for the rogue scientist and the mysterious package he carries with him. A brutal and relentless killer and his death squad are on the trail too – and they bring a savagery with them Hunter and his team have never witnessed before in modern warfare.

I have read all of Greig Beck's books, I believe, and have come to associate the Alex Hunter books in particular with his voice. I read a comment from another reader who said he thought Mr. Mangen was drunk or half asleep. He has a slight lisp which could just be badly fit dentures. But when I started this book, I thought oh, dear, he really has lost it.
Then I checked the SPEED of the narration on my phone. It had been turned slow for some reason! I adjusted it and, lo and behold, there was my Mr. Mangan, back to his normal self!!!
Just a tip for ANY narrator.
ENJOY! This is a good book!!

I really enjoy this book as it tells the story of how Alex Hunter became The Arcadian, and how the Russian's unleashed the Lifeform into our planet. Great narration again by Sean Mangan

As far as origins go this didn’t fall short. I enjoyed it as I’m sure you will. Hopefully one day they will make this series of books into multiple movies and Greig Beck will be acknowledged for creating a character as memorable as Bruce Wayne, John McClane, Frank Castle, and Alex Hunter! The world needs and wants heroes and it all begins here.

Every story has a beginning

I saw that people were having issues with the narrators lisp and slow speech and I found it remedied with 1.25x speed!
I’ve listened to Becks other supernatural SciFi series and this is the beginning of my Alex Hunter run and I can’t wait!

Fix narration with 1.25x speed! These books are amazing!

Set speed to 1.2. When sped up ‘twas not bad. Still debating starting the series.

Narrated at too slow speed.

The Arcadian Genesis is about how Alex Hunter gained some special powers. I hope the second book explains what they are. The narrator is a little monotonous after listening to Renee Auberjonois narrate Preston-Child's Pendergast stories. I had to turn the speed up to 1.30, where I usually slow them down to .90 or .95. It's a decent story, along the lines of a David Lynn Golemon but without quite as much synchrony... so far. My wife likes it so I'll give Beck another listen and hope.

Not bad, but not great

Worst book in the series I’ve heard. I enjoy the Alex hunt series, all about this one.
