This is a short story to be read after Book six. Since I just finished book six, Amazon recommended this to me. I was deep in Extinction town at this point, so I downloaded it! It’s only five chapters and about eighty pages long, so it was a quick read. Don’t worry, it includes my favorite character (Apollo). Although he doesn’t get much to do, he does comfort Fitz, and the other soldiers. He comforted some kids that they rescued in Book six too. Basically […]
The Variants are back, and so is Apollo!
This is book six in the Extinction Cycle books. I read book five a few months ago, and then needed a little break from the bleak world of the Variants and the Juveniles and all the fighting. When I picked this book up (Kindle version natch), it took me a little while to get into it, for those very same reasons. Once I got going though, I couldn’t stop. I love the characters in this world. Also, Apollo is back. Once I saw he’d be […]
The Variants are evolving, breeding, speaking, kidnapping…… not good
I searched Google for baby armadillo, because that’s how I’m picturing the Variant kids in my head. Baby armadillos are so effing cute, and not at all terrifying though, so my brain is wrong: The juveniles have evolved to be able to shoot venom from inside their armor-y bodies. Anyway, the juvenile Variants are bad news. The big ones aren’t slouches either though! With the help of human “collaborators”, Plum Island is attacked, and a bunch of cool people that we like are kidnapped. The […]
The Variants are BREEDING!
The Variants are still the new top of the food chain. They’ve got people in their lairs / meat lockers. They keep the people alive so that their meat doesn’t spoil. They’re adapting even more than before. Some of them have gills, others feathers, and some developed camouflage. The worst part though, is that they’re reproducing. There are now baby Variants, and they’re growing rapidly. Dr. Kate doesn’t know if they’re newest weapon will work on the babies… Also, the president and vice president are […]
The Variants are coming! The Variants are coming!
Ok, so I finished book 3 (this book) the other night, and then IMMEDIATELY (like super instantly) started book 4, so I’m trying to separate the two. I should just go right to the CBR website and do my review before I start a new book. Especially the next book in a series. Anyway, here goes… As I inferred in my review for book 2 (I just reread my review), the Variants are doing terrible things to the human population. The human species is slowly […]
I read book 1 of this series on vacation, so book 2 is giving me beach flashbacks. It’s so not about the beach.
OK! This book is all about the super scary Variants. Good news / bad news… When Dr. Kate Lovato tried to “save the human race” from the hemorrhagic virus with a bioweapon she designed in book 1, it killed billions of people. That’s actually the good news. They all had this terrible Ebola-esque zombie hemorrhagic fever. So they really needed to be killed. The bad new is that 10% of the people hit with Dr. Kate’s bioweapon survived. You’d think this was the good new, […]
