Extinction Inferno
Extinction Inferno | Nicholas Sansbury Smith, Anthony J Melchiorri
1 post | 2 read
The government said the Variants were dying off...That the beasts would be extinct in a matter of years...That the Allied States had returned to prosperity and freedom ...The government wasdeadwrong. Deep under the cities, the Variants weren't just hiding, they were breeding. While the human survivors of the Extinction Cycle built outposts and brought back industries, the monsters were building something of their own. Working with human collaborators, they constructed a vast underground organic network to control this new army and launch a blitzkrieg assault across the Allied States. After tunneling under the walls, the beasts managed to overwhelm even the most fortified outposts. Many of them fell within days, forcing the military to abandon bases and retreat. But not everyone is on the run. Team Ghost hunts a monster behind enemy lines that could change the tide of war. On the USS George Johnson, Doctor Kate Lovato and her team of scientists seek to understand and tap into the Variant network while oil tycoon S.M. Fischer and his engineers come up with a plan to help buy time for the remaining outposts. And, at Outpost Portland, Captain Reed Beckham and Master Sergeant Parker Horn investigate a frightening conspiracy involving the human collaborators. As the Variant armies surge across the Allied States, those working to stop them realize even desperate measures may not be enough to prevent the total annihilation of their country.

Mehso-so

This is book #2 of the Extinction Cycle: Dark Age series. I read book #1 quite awhile ago & just now got to book 2. In this series it‘s now 8 years after the Great War & the country is doing relatively well with 100 outposts all over & keeping the variants at bay. But it seems the variants, along with collaborators, have been hiding well & have a lot of surprises for Team Ghost & everyone else. This book was very slow to start though.
