Missions from the Extinction Cycle, Vol. 1

De: Nicholas Sansbury Smith - foreword, various authors, Jeff Olah, Mark Tufo, Rachel Aukes, Russell Blake, Anthony J. Melchiorri

Narrado por: Bronson Pinchot

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. Billions died, civilization collapsed, and the human race teetered on the brink of extinction. 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.

Heroes have risen up to meet these abominations. Men like Master Sergeant Reed Beckham of Delta Force Team Ghost and Marine Corporal Joe Fitzpatrick. Women like Dr. Kate Lovato and firefighter Meg Pratt. Throughout the world, survivors band together to fight the evolving monsters in an effort to save humanity.

Now, for the first time ever, comes 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.

Featured authors include:

• Mark Tufo - "Extinction Trippin'"
• Anthony Melchiorri - "Darkness Evolved"
• Jeff Olah - "The Bone Collector"
• Russell Blake - "Extinction Thailand"
• Rachel Aukes - "The Fall of Fort Bragg"

Great expansion!

All these stories are awesome. I love the E-Cycle books. These stories bring it to another dimension. The authors in this collection capture the original story and even makes you feel for the variants.

Cool side stories

Love how some of the pieces are out together from original story line in these stories

it was decent

I have been a fan of the extinction cycle series from the beginning. these missions tho well written are not my favorite. as always Bronson Pinchot did an amazing job bringing the stories to life! one of my favorite narrators!

Oof that last story.

Overall good. Keeps a very similar feel to the original books by NSS. Some stories are stronger than others but none of them are bad. Overall definitely worth a listen if you liked the Extinction Cycle.

With that- Good job, Rachel Aukes! Didn't expect a sucker punch from that last story.
I mean, having read the previous books I knew that it was coming, but I didn't expect it to be pulled off so well.
I'll definitely be looking up more of your work.

great

great read,as it gives u the stories of some of the characters in the book that either died before they were introduced,or were vague when introduced.

Great additions to the Hunger Legacy

I really enjoyed these short stories.
Nothing complicated, but very well written.
Great tributes and additions to J. Robinson's Hunger world.

A must read!!

To have a few of my favorite authors in one place was awesome! I loved this book!! I was engaged from the moment I started listening and could not put the book down! It left me wanting more!!

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.

Loved it

Enjoyed this mix of writers giving side stories to already recognized work. Filled in some side ground for me.

Loved it

Does a great job at fleshing out some of the miscellaneous characters of the main story. Especially ones that are little more than footnotes, but who's fates, or origins were left in the dark.
