Publisher's summary

The ashes have fallen and the dust clears to a startling discovery....

Beyond the reach of the nuclear infernos, the masterminds survived and continue their assault on outposts across the Allied States. Timothy Temper and Sergeant Ruckley narrowly escaped one of those attacks. On the run from hostile forces, they fight to get an urgent message to command - the monsters aren’t the only threat. Their human allies have a nuclear weapon.

Refusing to hide underground, President Jan Ringgold heads to New York. Doctor Kate Lovato and her team are there working to infiltrate and sabotage enemy communications. To buy them time, S.M. Fischer and his engineers deploy technology to detect incoming Variant attacks. But they can’t hold the monsters for much longer.

Deep in enemy territory, Master Sergeant Fitzpatrick and Captain Beckham discover the terrifying truth behind the New Gods and a plan even more nefarious than eliminating the human race. This time, the future depends not just on the survival of Team Ghost, but their ability to convince new allies to join the fight before it’s too late.

Featured Article: 12 of the Best Sci-Fi Series in Audio


From the furthest reaches of space to the microbiology of pandemics and gene manipulation, to the future implications of technology for societies similar to our own, science fiction is a fascinating genre that offers listeners a wide variety of ways to access its themes. In looking for the best sci-fi audiobook series, it can be difficult to know where to start due to the genre's sheer number of iterations and variations. But what these series have in common is an acute devotion to telling a good story, as well as fully building out the worlds therein. The writing is enhanced by the creative and impassioned narration.

Absolutely outstanding.

There's very little to be said that hasn't been already. Chances are that if you're already 6-12 books deep into this series (depending on how many of the side stories you read) you're already in love with this story and won't even see this. If you're the 1 in 1,000,000 that picked a random book in a long series to read reviews for before committing, you're an odd duck but trust me when I say you must read this book. Thank me later.

Great but ya gotta wonder, who the heck can go full speed 24/7 for days. The variants aren’t the only super humans in this book.

Always good

Smith writes great post apocalyptic books and his co-author must have tremendous talent as well. By book three, sometimes things get boring, but that’s not the case here. Keep them coming.

A great series continuing the world that was developed in the Extinction Cycle works.
more drama, more monsters, more plots and intrigue.

Much better than first series

Much better than first series. If you liked the first one you’re going to love this one. Should co-author more often.
