Publisher Description
USA Today bestseller Nicholas Sansbury Smith's first book in his thrilling post-apocalyptic series about one man's mission to save the world.
Master Sergeant Reed Beckham has led his Delta Force Team, codenamed Ghost, through every kind of hell imaginable and never lost a man. When a top secret Medical Corps research facility goes dark, Team Ghost is called in to face their deadliest enemy yet -- a variant strain of Ebola that turns men into monsters.
After barely escaping with his life, Beckham returns to Fort Bragg in the midst of a new type of war. As cities fall, Team Ghost is ordered to keep CDC virologist Dr. Kate Lovato alive long enough to find a cure. What she uncovers will change everything.
Total extinction is just on the horizon, but will the cure be worse than the virus?
Extinction is just on the horizon. . . Start reading the book that D. J. Molles said "delivers unrelenting unmerciful action" before it's too late!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After impressive sales as self-published e-books, the Extinction novels are finally making their mass market debut. Smith has realized that the way to rekindle interest in zombie apocalypse fiction is to make it louder, longer, and bloodier. This first volume narrates the disastrous escape of a bioweapon that combines the worst features of Ebola with a drug the U.S. Army developed to create supersoldiers. Infected people mutate into cunning, fast-moving, ravenously carnivorous monsters. As the virus spreads and society collapses, the story focusses on rugged, sensitive Master Sgt. Reed Beckham, leader of Delta Force Team Ghost, and beautiful, brilliant Dr. Kate Lovato, whom Beckham rescues from the besieged Center for Disease Control in Atlanta so that she can continue trying to find a way to fight the swarms of infected. Smith intensifies the disaster efficiently as the pages flip by, and readers who enjoy juicy blood-and-guts action will find a lot of it here.
Customer Reviews
Extinction Horizon by Nicholas Sansbury Smith .
Well, having never heard of Nicholas Smith before, I must say I started reading this new author tentatively, as I always do...
However, within the first chapter I was well and truly hooked!
Nick Smith writes in a style that immediately inserts you right into the heart of the action, and his characters exhibit a believable humanity, which will have you cheering on the good guys, hating the bad guys, (even if it’s not their fault!), and wondering who will survive, and who will not!
About halfway through this novel, I realised there were six or seven more books in the series to read, and I almost couldn’t contain my excitement!
So, being the nerd I am, I emailed the author, (to thank him for his creativity, of course!), to which he replied promptly and directly, and surprisingly, himself! Not only can the guy write a smashing apocalyptic action novel, he’s a down to earth bloke, even offering to send me a Team Ghost patch!
I’m already a couple of chapters into book two in the series, Extinction Edge, and again, the Variants are scary as all get out, Team Ghost are heading back into the fray, to save what remains of humanity, and I could only put it down long enough to leave this review!
Im off to join Dr. Lovato, Reed Beckham and Big Horn, et al., to see where the story takes me next! Buy the book, you won’t be disappointed, I guarantee it!
