Description

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?

Favorite new series in years!

I love this series. The story keeps finding a way to up the stakes and surprise you. great use of multiple narratives taking place at the same time and all managing to be interesting and important to the story. The narrator is also excellent. good with accents and female voices. he really makes you feel like each character is their own person. This series is great on so many levels. GO TEAM GHOST!

A real page turner

Excellent story...If you like apocalyptic settings and military recon missions then this is the perfect mashup of this. Smith’s battle scenes are detailed and gruesome, he really keeps you on the edge of your seat with this series of books. It took me until after the second book to get used the the narrator’s take on the book, I just found his performance odd. His version of the characters are way off from how I imagine them and he has a strange interpretation on the emotion that characters should be displaying at a certain time in the story. His female voice is the exact same for each character except for the occasional southern accent, and his voice for main characters keeps changing from book to book. Not that I could do any better, I’m just used to narrators having a real talent for character definition. Other than this I highly recommend this book.

Amazing value, and the story keeps you going!

I have to say I'm impressed by everything I've read by Nicholas Sansbury Smith. The story is engaging throughout, and the narration is top knotch. My only gripe, which is a small one, is that Smith seems to have a small playbook when it comes to describing certain events, like headshots, or the variant's gaping maw... there's lots of both, and you hear the same description countless times, so it gets a bit old.

Despite my pretentious gripe, I'd recommend the series in its entirety all day. Great story, relatable characters and a great time killer on the long commute to work.

Great series up till end of book 5

I really like the characters and the take on the apocalypse in the extinction series. I found the story should have ended at book 5, it felt like the author intended the series to end there. But like so many of these apocalyptic authors they seem to not be able to let go of their original characters and they push on with the story when it needs to end. At first I was reluctant to listen to book 6, but because I paid for I did. The writing and characters are the same and same story, just not needed. Definitely stretching the story line, not sure I will bother to purchase book 7.

Book 6 is the series killer

The series is decent, until the 6th book. I can’t finish it, should have stopped at 5.

Rince and repeat books 1-3

So, I'm 8 books into this series between books 1-3, another compilation with some characters, and this compilation where I listened to reviewers and quit at the end of book 5.

Not a military person, but I do understand fiction and what works in a book. Writing the same things over and over with less and less characters as the books go AND bigger, meaner bad guys, stretches my suspension of disbelief way too far. Other than having completely insane killing machine variants, who just evolve to way past humanity and kill everything and everyone- Our main characters mostly do fine, despite horrendous battle tactics, no food, sleep or much medical care, no one ever drinks, sleeps and while I absolutely love my 2 German Shepherd Dogs, I do know that they wouldn't get out of the situations Apollo has got out of. Even for Superdogs. I continued to read, just for the dog, he's a good boy.

Devastating injuries are pretty much just mentioned away as injuries and the band plays on, they go back and battle AT NIGHT over and over. (Why? Variants hate daylight! Go during DAYLIGHT folks!), Also...whatever happened to Jed way back when he was with Meg (not this series, an earlier one) he's never mentioned again. Maybe he died and I didn't care further. It's like the writer forgot about Jed and Meg and the other guy from the firehouse. I expected they'd run into each other again, but it never happened and she got killed off instead.

Here's the thing- you can't be all things in fiction. The science started out sciencey, but pretty soon was incredibly handwavey. Eventually the writer just stopped doing anything scientific. Same with the battle scenes. All guns go boom, and blow people up- yet somehow head shots keep getting missed, and our heros STILL survive against the worst zombies-on-steroids you've ever heard of. And how the hell do you disarm nukes that are in flight? (Can you? Seriously...asking for a friend).

Perhaps the worst failure, is the failure of character development. You care more, if you know them. Beckham is always perfect even when every battle goes to shit, Fitz on his blades is a super soldier, and remember this is after the END OF THE WORLD. Where are these custom made carbon fibre prosthetics being whipped up during the end of the world? It's never addressed, same way the need to eat, drink, poop and sleep is also never addressed while our constantly injured tiny crew gets shot, blown up, beat up and killed off until there are 2 members of Ghost left. At the end I was just happy for Beckham to get an actual injury, though he's really really lucky, again- to get a custom made prosthetic or 2. The other characters get killed off and replaced but in the end you just don't care.
