Publisher's Summary

Extinction Evolution

Central Command is gone, the military is fractured, and the surviving members of Team Ghost, led by Master Sergeant Reed Beckham, have been pushed to the breaking point. While the strong return to the battlefield, the wounded are forced to stay behind on Plum Island and fight their inner demons.

Betrayed by the country they swore to defend and surrounded by enemies on all sides, Team Ghost has one mission left: protect Dr. Kate Lovato and Dr. Pat Ellis while they develop a weapon to defeat the Variants once and for all. But after a grisly discovery in Atlanta, Kate and Ellis realize their weapon might not be able to stop the evolution of the monsters.

Joined by unexpected allies and facing a new threat none of them saw coming, the survivors are running out of time to save the human race from extinction.

Extinction End

Almost seven weeks have passed since the Hemorrhage Virus ravaged the world. The remnants of the United States military have regrouped and relocated Central Command to the George Washington Carrier Strike Group. It's here, in the North Atlantic, that President Jan Ringgold and Vice President George Johnson prepare to deploy a new bioweapon and embark on the final mission to take back the country from the Variants.

With his home gone and his friends kidnapped, Master Sergeant Reed Beckham and his remaining men must take drastic measures to save what's left of the human race. But not everyone at Central Command has the same plan for victory. As the Variants continue to evolve, only a handful of heroes stand between the creatures and mankind's total extinction.

One way or another, the battle for the United States of America ends here.

Extinction Aftermath

Newly christened as the leader of Delta Force Team Ghost, Master Sergeant Joe Fitzpatrick arrives in Normandy over 70 years after Allied Forces joined the fight against the Nazis. The war to free survivors and eradicate pockets of adult Variants and their offspring is underway by the European Unified Forces. But as the troops push east, rumors of a new type of monster spread through the ranks. Fitz and his new team quickly realize that the fight for Europe might be harder than anyone ever imagined.

Back in the States, Captain Reed Beckham and Dr. Kate Lovato are settling into a new life on Plum Island. Across the United States, the adult Variants have all been wiped out, and the juveniles are on the run. But survivors soon realize there are other monsters at home, and they may be human.

As the doomsday clock ticks down and military bases fall across the country, the human race enters the age of extinction. Will science prevail - or will mankind vanish off the face of the planet?

Wow!!!

After 6 stories full of excitement the last one is "The End". It truly does end at a point that you can arrive at your own decision of a true end. However, there is a chapter 7 that starts a new chapter in the saga. I have opted to move on to something else for the time being, with hopes that Audiable will combine the books of the next series also into a group purchase. You do get involved with the characters which makes the story enjoyable to follow.

this entire 6 book series is off the chain

I highly recommend reading every one of these books they have all proven to be extremely extremely entertaining. One of the things I love most about these books is that it keeps the same characters throughout the entire series with some minor changes here and there adding some characters and characters die off excetera but for the most part the story revolves around Captain Beckham and Team Ghost.

This series grabbed me and has not let me go

Great twist with book six, love it can’t wait to read all your books, on to trackers

As good as the Arisen series by Michael S Fuchs

great story As good and same caliber as that of Arisen series! great characters and always 9n the edge of your seat!

The struggle for survival continues

The number of humans left alive continues to drop at an alarming rate and there isn't much time left. It has only been a few weeks since the apocalypse began and so far all efforts to slow it down have failed. All major cities have been lost and Central Command is being moved to the last remaining Naval strike group as no place on the mainland remains safe. Does that even matter now that it is obvious that the military leadership can't be trusted? At least things can't actually get any worse at this point can they? Actually, yes they can...

Books 4 and 5 continue the story at a breakneck pace until the original ending of the series is reached with things at a decent stopping point.. Book 6 then fires up a bunch of new story lines that are left unresolved by the time it ends as a total cliffhanger. Book 7 is not a part of this boxed set so if you don't stop at book 5, which works just fine as a series finale, then know you will need to pick up a stand alone book to reach a new resolution to the story. Does this extension actually make the series better? I am not so sure that it does.

I recommend picking up this boxed set to reach the original ending of the series in book 5 and then you can make your own decision about continuing or not.

Awesome beginning to an awesome story!

This is the first of the three books in the Extinction Cycle world. The author does an outstanding job of weaving a complicated series of events and characters together and Bronson takes it a step further with his expert reading of the books. I previously read this series on Kindle and was excited to try it out on Audible as my first download. Readers of post-apocalyptic will be hanging on every syllable and wanting more. Make sure to get the whole series. You won’t be disappointed.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this series as an audible binger! I’m a paranormal junkie turned sci-fi until other good para books become available

Love this series!

The books never tail off, they always improve. I absolutely love this series & now NSB is one of my fav authors after reading his other series first

AMAZING! WOW!!

AMAZING SERIES! My favorite of all time! Wow! I'm sad to be at the end!

The excitement continues!

The kick-ass narration once again elevates this dynamic combo of military action, science fiction and post-apocalyptic mayhem. Keeps deepening the characters and scope of the series. Still my fave series of this ilk. Looking forward to more!

Action packed series

This was a great story and can’t wait to start book 7 and find out what happens to Kate,Beckham and the team In Europe

It just gets boooring

How did the narrator detract from the book?

A lot. Narrator's impressions of female or people crying just grinds my gears. It may be only me, but longer you listen, more difficult it become

Was The Extinction Cycle Boxed Set, Books 4–6 worth the listening time?

Yes and no. It is nice story so I was curious to see how it develop. But I did not manage to complete last set.

Read with a passion

This is a great series of the best sci fi has to offer. Zombie novels are not in my interests zone , but this is a much more feasible plot. Bronson Pinchot is my new favourite narrator, reading with a contagious enthusiasm that had my heart racing at times.

extinction cycle fan

I'm really enjoying this series good to listen to and looking forward to the next book

An atypical zombie book but!

At first I was pleased with the atypical zombie scenario. However the writing is unbelievable in just how contrived and bad situations the characters get into. If the American military is as bad as they are written in these books it’s hard to believe they can even organise a piss up. Characters are well Rounded and believable but like a comic book they are thrown in to situations that are incredulous.

well, I love these

i love the characters, the story and I am happy it is continuing, branching out and dragging out, I love that even so late in the story I still get to bite my thumb of how gruesome the scenes get. just love it.

better than 1-3

these 4-6 are really good, great character development and overall better writing. glad the series got better!

Awesome

I out off this series for so long!! Why?!! Really gripping with an amazing story

enthralling

if you need an good binge read, this is it.. heart stopping, fast paced and addictive

A greater story

Well Read and very well written. action keeps the tempo up nicely, was a bit disappointed with the ending in book 5 so was glad that the story as picked up after continued on
