Publisher's summary

Earth's Star Force Marines invade an alien world!

In the second book of the Star Force series, Kyle Riggs has another bad year. The Nano ships have a new mission - one that sentences their pilots to death. Meanwhile, the governments of Earth want to steal Star Force's Nano technology for their own. Worst of all, Earth has made a promise to the Macros, and the machines are coming to collect.

Extinction is the story of Earth's entry into an interstellar war between living creatures and machines. And to buy the peace, we've signed up with the machines.

Battle stations! Listen to another Star Force novel.

Good reading

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I liked it. But the Rigs' girlfriend keeps hitting him. She needs to calm down.

Any additional comments?

Very entertaining.

Love Story On The Battlefield?

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No

Any additional comments?

I like the story but his character development is a bit hard to believe. The main character goes from being a teacher to a ruthless disciplinarian and it seems a bit out of character. More disturbing is the fact that he is the only soldier with a girlfriend along for the ride... the "love story", IMO, detracts from the main story and is just plain silly.

The story logic is lost

The story sequence is not coherent. The assumption on what the macros can and cannot do seemed twisted to serve the story. Also, the idea that a full army can go rouge on its command without questioning was ridiculous

I rated it three because I like the narrator and somehow the story's basic logic attracts me

I wouldn't recommend it but it might be appealing to someone else anyway

Worthwhile sequel

This series begins to pick up speed at the first off-planet mission of Star Force. Don't expect much in way of deeper understanding, just enjoy the wild ride.

Another great one

So far i am flying through this series, I just can't put it down. This book was just as good for me as the first one, maybe just a little less - but darn close. Lots of action and creativity. Great listen :)

I stopped reading after book 2

What did you like best about Extinction? What did you like least?

The general idea behind the story was a good one but I thought the story was too simplistic and the characters are unbelievable. A college professor who is a combination of Steven Hawking, in knowledge, General Patton, in strategy, and Rambo in fighting skills.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I thought it was predictable.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performance was well done.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I would wait for the DVD.

Very Engaging

Continue to be sucked into this world. the characters are well developed and seem to grow well in each book. looking forward to more

Non stop action

Good continuation of the story line from the first book in the series. Imaginative scenario. Very well read with good voicing of characters

fresh ground

loved this book, even though the overall story is a familiar one the author tells it in a way that's new and exciting. I can't wait to read the rest
