Story
The best-selling Extinction Cycle series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith first introduced listeners to a world ravaged by an engineered virus that turned men into monsters. Humanity's only hope was not a cure, but another bioweapon. When deployed it killed 90 percent of the infected, but the remaining 10 percent transformed into even more terrifying creatures called Variants. Here's a collection of Extinction Cycle short stories that explore the human spirit and the fight for survival in the face of overwhelming odds from some of the leading voices in the post-apocalyptic genre.

For a dozen years, villagers along the ancient Da River in Vietnam have feared a nightmarish creature who hunts and consumes human flesh. Only in whispers do they mention its name, The White Ghost. To the United States military, this creature has a different name - Marine Lieutenant Trevor Brett, the chemically engineered experiment gone wrong that they will do anything to hide. Sole survivor of his platoon, Brett has stalked the jungle for prey. But the men who made him into a monster are searching for him, and when they find him, the line between hunter and hunted will be blurred.

The government said the Variants were dying off.... That the beasts would be extinct in a matter of years.... That the Allied States had returned to prosperity and freedom.... The government was dead wrong. Deep under the cities, the Variants weren't just hiding, they were breeding. While the human survivors of the Extinction Cycle built outposts and brought back industries, the monsters were building something of their own.

Doesn't get much better than this!
Five fabulous stories in one terrific, heart-pounding anthology. I devoured these spin-offs of the popular Extinction Cycle Series. Each author has his/her own twist on the Variant apocalypse and every story is a total delight to read. If you are a fan of the post apocalyptic genre, grab this jewel ASAP.

Loved these stories. I was really excited to listen to them after reading the kindle versions. Bronson Pinchot does a great job bringing them to life. My favorite had to be Darkness Evolved but I'm also a big fan of Anthony Melchiorri. Check this collection out for a great price and strap in!

Great Stories
Loved the new stories behind the scenes of those left behind, fighting, hiding and surviving the Variant threat. Stories include The Bone Collector, his past and how he became as well as how Kate and Big Horn's daughters were captured and recovered. Also the story behind Big Horn's wife and her demise.
With some very notable authors taking the reins of these short stories you will not be disappointed as each has continued the exact feel that NSS has placed in EC. Loved it and eagerly await other favorite authors to take up the challenge with more behind the scene stories.

Excellent addition to the whole series!
This is such a cool series of stories. The Extinction cycle is my absolute favorite series of books from Nicholas Sansbury Smith. It's one of the first series I've read from him and it is so well written, so immersive, so full of action, content that you literally are engrossed the entire time you read them. These side stories written by incredibly talented authors adds a different view of the whole cycle. I love this, it's such a cool way to expand the entire world that the series portrays. The writing is spot on in all of these. When they did this as a Kindle World bit it was amazing but to have some of them in one book.... awesome. And for the price? An absolute steal. And Bronson Pinchot is FABULOUS reading these.
