Story
For a dozen years, villagers along the ancient Da River in Vietnam have feared a nightmarish creature who hunts and consumes human flesh. Only in whispers do they mention its name, The White Ghost. To the United States military, this creature has a different name - Marine Lieutenant Trevor Brett, the chemically engineered experiment gone wrong that they will do anything to hide. Sole survivor of his platoon, Brett has stalked the jungle for prey. But the men who made him into a monster are searching for him, and when they find him, the line between hunter and hunted will be blurred.

And once again, Beckham, Fitz, and Kate will rise to fight them, joining forces with new heroes to try and save what’s left of the world.

More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

Two hundred years ago, aliens invaded Earth. A violent war followed. The enemy won. Some of us escaped, most of us didn’t. On Proxima they flourished - the invasion forgotten. On Earth we floundered - the horror began. Their world is advanced, peaceful, and secure. Our world is broken, savage, and overrun. A new invasion is coming. A hunger that has swallowed half the universe. They don’t care which planet we live on. They want to end us all. But where there is life, there is hope. And where there is hope, there are heroes. This time, vengeance will be ours.

The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Summary
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"

Doesn't get much better than this!
Five fabulous stories in one terrific, heart-pounding anthology. I devoured these spin-offs of the popular Extinction Cycle Series. Each author has his/her own twist on the Variant apocalypse and every story is a total delight to read. If you are a fan of the post apocalyptic genre, grab this jewel ASAP.

Loved these stories. I was really excited to listen to them after reading the kindle versions. Bronson Pinchot does a great job bringing them to life. My favorite had to be Darkness Evolved but I'm also a big fan of Anthony Melchiorri. Check this collection out for a great price and strap in!

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.

Excellent addition to the whole series!
This is such a cool series of stories. The Extinction cycle is my absolute favorite series of books from Nicholas Sansbury Smith. It's one of the first series I've read from him and it is so well written, so immersive, so full of action, content that you literally are engrossed the entire time you read them. These side stories written by incredibly talented authors adds a different view of the whole cycle. I love this, it's such a cool way to expand the entire world that the series portrays. The writing is spot on in all of these. When they did this as a Kindle World bit it was amazing but to have some of them in one book.... awesome. And for the price? An absolute steal. And Bronson Pinchot is FABULOUS reading these.
