Resumen del Editor

There is no escaping the evil lurking in the shadows....

After the harrowing trials of Emergence, Jed Welch finds himself alone in the ruins of New York City. But not all is lost.

USMC Staff Sergeant Alexandra Gallegos and the two surviving members of her platoon find Jed, and together they will bring the full weight of their Marine Corps training, and mission-driven sense of vengeance, to bear upon the real monsters: human collaborators who aid the Variants at the expense of their fellow human beings.

For SSGT Gallegos, theirs is a mission borne of duty and command. For Jed, it becomes an act of penance, in hopes he may atone for his sins.

Great Book!

Book have a good amount of action and the story is told well how Jed change from a weak and timid person to a strong individual with confidence. Looking forward to the next book.

Lots of action, story starting to drag

Same story of a small group running through NYC avoiding zombies and traitors. Awesome action but I got tired of the non ending battles.

decent book good performer

Aurhor created characters you could care about, unoriginal antagonists as is the norm, and good performance.

interesting series

I guess it's a good twist for this zombie apocalypse so it's not always the same thing of the dead rising. it definitely has a similarities.

Ok for free

Have to speed up to 1.2 bc the narrator talks so slow. It is a good story but not sure I would have listen past 1st one bc the story line moves a little slow

Rah?

The story and narration are good. The right word is Oorah said with force. Not a lack luster Rah. Its monotonous the way it's used in this book.

Kept my interest

Was a good read and I enjoyed the characters. The performance was really nice. I liked Zeds voice accent as well.

A must read!!!

A can’t get enough of the extinction cycle series!! This book was engaging (like the others) right from the moment you start listening!! And Bronson Pinchot is awesome!!!

A great chapter in the Extinction Cycle Story

The characters were well written, and the way that they formed unit cohesion and mutual support of each other was beautiful. Also I liked how sergeant Gallegos was a strong Marine leader and that her gender made no difference. And the redemption of Jed was awesome. I always liked Jed even from the 1st chapter Of the preceding installment. And Bronson you are the man.

Fast Paced.

After the events of Emergence, Jed is alone and scared with countless Variants around him. But thankfully for him, he meets up with USMC Staff Sergeant Alexandra Gallegos and two other members of her platoon. They are wary of Jed at first, thinking him to be in league with the collaborators, but they soon realise that there are bigger threats and Jed can fight.

Admittedly, I really didn't like Jed in the first book, but I understood his feelings, but thankfully here, we see more to him and he grew on me. He is still struggling with doing the right thing, but I think he has finally found his place and he is becoming who he should be. I think what happened to Meg and his role in it made him grow up and realise it's not just him anymore, it's all of humanity and that they need to save everyone they can.

This takes place straight after Emergence and straight after Meg goes into the sewers. We get to see some familiar Variants in this.... the Bone Collector!!! The action never really lets up and it's the team against the Variants and the evil that is the collaborators. It's well written and developed and a welcome addition to the Extinction Universe that Nicholas Sansbury Smith created. Jed has finally grown on me and I'm looking forward to reading the end of this trilogy to see what happens.

Once again, Bronson Pinchot gives a brilliant performance. I don't think I could picture anyone else reading these books because I feel like this narrator understands the world and the characters he is portraying. He is an amazing narrator and I highly recommend him.
