Extinction Shadow

Extinction Cycle: Dark Age, Book 1

By: Nicholas Sansbury Smith, Anthony J. Melchiorri

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

They thought they survived the extinction cycle, but a powerful evil lurks in the shadows...Now old and new heroes join forces to save what’s left of the world in this thrilling sci-fi audio adventure.

Eight years ago, an engineered virus ravaged the globe, infecting and transforming humans into apex predators called Variants. Billions died, civilization collapsed, and the human race teetered on the brink of extinction. Nations banded together and heroes rose up to fight these abominations. On the front lines, Captain Reed Beckham and Master Sergeant Joe "Fitz" Fitzpatrick of Delta Force Team Ghost fought against the Variant hordes. With the aid of CDC Doctor Kate Lovato, they helped lead humanity to victory.

Now, almost a decade after the end of the war, civilization has slowly clawed toward recovery. In the Allied States of America, survivors live in outposts where they have rebuilt industry, agriculture, and infrastructure. The remaining Variants are believed to be dying off under destroyed cities and the abandoned frontier. But evil and intelligent forces dwell in the shadows with the starving beasts, scheming to restart the extinction cycle and end humanity forever. And once again, Beckham, Fitz, and Kate will rise to fight them, along with new heroes to try and save what remains of the world.

R. C. Bray brings to life the beloved characters of this series and expertly depicts their turmoil and struggle for survival.

Note: This new season is a self-contained storyline. Listeners do not have to hear the first seven books of the Extinction Cycle to jump into book one of Extinction Cycle: Dark Age. For returning listeners, this audiobook takes place after book seven, Extinction War.

Here we go again.

Best series of its kind so stoked it started up again , great book 1 this is going to be another glorious ride with no seat belt insight .

Awesome addition to the Extinction Cycle Sage

For someone who was extremely disappointed to say goodbye to some of my favorite characters in a series, I was ecstatic to find out that Nicholas Sansbury Smith had paired up with Anthony Melchiorri to take us back into the world of Variants in a new thread of the story. If you haven’t had the opportunity to read the original series, you can still start off with this one. But I recommend taking the time to read the others first. It will give you a better understanding of the story and the characters.

Well done gentlemen and thank you for bringing these characters back into our lives. And well done to RC Bray for taking the helm as the Audible narrator.

Extinction Shadow

Several years after the humans thought they got the upper hand on the variants and are starting to rebuild; team Ghost is back on the job to flush out and kill improved variants, while Kate works her magic in the lab to try and figure out ways to keep the humans safe and help rid the world of the monsters she helped create.

If I say this book is full of action that would be a understatement. The suspense is so tense even the frostiest of warriors will find themselves holding their breath. If you are lucky enough to get the audio narrated by R.C. Bray than you are in for a treat as Mr. Bray is so awesome capturing the right tone and emotion of each character, not to mention the world around and making you feel as if you are a part of the story, part of team Ghost. This is a wonderful book and I can't wait for more from all three of these wonderful guys.

Well done

Great continuation of the story. It is what was promised. It delivered, not a slow moment in the book.

Great book

Well this is a nail biter you have to listen and onto the next book. Only fear the human race does not do anything this stupid as we all know scientists are missing with crazy stuff. Don’t mess with God!

So excited

A great read and a great edition to the extinction cycle books. Excited for the next one

A must read!

I can’t give enough reasons why I love this series. It is engaging from the moment I start listening and difficult to put it down once I start! This one is awesome! I highly recommend this book and all the other books by Nicholas!!

great

can't wait for the next book. such a great story. please hurry really want more

USING THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN

I don't understand the need to use God's name in vain or Jesus's name in vain make a book good it makes the book worse God and Jesus don't want to hear that God and Jesus love us all we need to respect them for that at the very least oh, Jesus gave his entire life for us. Let's not abused that!!!

Another great Extinction Cycle Book

For anyone who has followed this prolific author over the course of this series, this is a must read.
Love having R.C. Bray as the narrator
