Extinction Edge

Extinction Cycle, Book 2

De: Nicholas Sansbury Smith

Narrado por: Bronson Pinchot

A bioweapon designed to save the world...

A scientific discovery that will alter human history...

And a new threat that will bring humanity to the Edge of Exctinction.

The dust from Dr. Kate Lovato's bioweapon has settled. Projections put death counts in the billions. Her weapon was supposed to be the endgame, but it turned a small percentage of those infected with the Hemorrhage Virus into something even worse.

Survivors call them Variants. Irreversible epigenetic changes have transformed them into predators unlike any the human race has ever seen. And they are evolving.

With the doomsday clock ticking, the fractured military plans Operation Liberty - a desperate mission designed to take back the cities and destroy the Variant threat. Master Sergeant Reed Beckham agrees to lead a strike team into New York City, but first he must return to Fort Bragg to search for the only family he has left.

At Plum Island, Kate discovers Central Command may have considerably underestimated the Variant population in New York. As Operation Liberty draws closer, Kate warns Beckham that Team Ghost won't just face their deadliest adversary yet - they may be heading into a trap.

More please!

I have been called an aficionado in the zombie genre for the sheer number of books I've read and reviewed, and now written. The one thing many will here me say over and over again is that I prefer a traditional zombie. Mutations, aliens, and a strong sci-fi theme has never been my thing.

So I really have to hand it to Smith for taking me well out of my comfort zone and earning my five stars.

Smith's zombies are terrifying. Multifaceted genetic mutations crafted by the callus hand of man where the only thing you can count on with these abominations is that you have no idea what they'll do next. Smith continues to up the ante with his second book in his bestselling Extinction series and I'm left hungry for more.

A successful z-book for me must have ample gore, and Smith doesn't disappoint. Buy this book. Tell your friends to buy this book. For those who say zombies aren't trending anymore, i dare you to read this series and reevaluate that statement.

And now, to nag the author on social media to write faster!

Excellent!

I absolutely could not put it down. Can't wait to continue the series. One of the best edge of your seat books ever.

Like spending day at great blockbuster movie!

I could not stop listening. Great characters and well plotted story with unending suspense.

Even better than book one

I seldom write reviews but I thought I should take the time to mention that this series is a non-stop, action thrill ride. It is one of the better "zombie" series out there. However calling it a "zombie" book is too basic. It's more than that. The creatures in this series are unlike your run-of-the-mill zombies.

Book two dives into more details about certain characters as other characters are killed. I finished this audiobook in record time. If book one was a 5-star, book two is a 6+.

What a wild ride!

Oh man what a ride! Our story continues with the aftermath of deploying VariantX9H9, Dr. Lovato’s bioweapon. However the remaining Variants are changing and doing some pretty weird stuff. Of course we have the people in charge, the acting president and his general, not following Dr. Lovato’s advice. Do they EVER listen to the scientists???? The budding romance between Reed and Kate continues to grow but will his unwavering dedication to killing the Variants drive a wedge between them? We also get to see how people who have known and worked together in the old world behave toward each other in the new world when the going gets tough. I hope I would be one of the good guys in the end. There are close calls, tense moments, lots of running, creepy things and happy moments on this rollercoaster!

A new character was introduced, Fitzpatrick, that quickly became a favorite. There’s something special about him and I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out! Looking forward to more of him in Book III.

What will Dr. Lovato’s next move be? Will she have to create her own monster? Just what are those damn Variants up to? Will the Variants die out or will humanity be confined to Plum Island for the rest of their lives? Inquiring minds want to know!

I know I can’t wait for book III to find out!!!!

If you have not read Extinction Horizon (Book I) then what are you waiting for and I hope a Variant gets you! Go get it now!

Love it

Smith continues to pull you in. This story is crazy scary and suspenseful. I love what he has done with the characters and the monsters so far. If you like zombie type, biological weapon or any post apocalypse books this is for you!
