Missions from the Extinction Cycle Volume 2. Over 500 pages of short stories set in the Extinction Cycle world from some of the biggest names in post-apocalyptic fiction! The bestselling Extinction Cycle series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith first introduced readers 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.

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. This second collection of Extinction Cycle missions include; heroic last stands, the transformation of men into beasts, and hardened warriors engaged in battle against overwhelming odds. All from some of the leading voices in the post-apocalyptic genre. Strap in, you’re about to experience the Extinction Cycle. Featured Authors Include: Outpost 46: Deadwood by Rachel Aukes Extinction Bridge by AJ Spedding and Geoff Brown The White King by Eloise J. KnappMother by G.

The Saga Continues in Grand Style

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

No question I am a fan of post apocalyptic literature, and Nicholas Smith tops the list of my favorite authors of the genre. What's so amazing about this book and it's predecessor is that Nick didn't write these stories, but other authors did with his approval I am sure - a definite creative approach! The original 7 books of the Extinction Cycle are awesome in their own right, but now we have a second volume of add on short stories by other authors who expertly expand the primary series.

The action and creativity is equally as enjoyable in this second volume as it was in the first, and really sets the mind to wondering about life in the world of the Extinction Cycle. I especially enjoyed the story by G. Michael Hoff, who is another post apocalyptic writer I enjoy.

If you enjoy great post apocalyptic works you cannot go wrong with the Extinction cycle. I do recommend reading the series first, but these stories do stand alone, but perhaps with a little less understanding of the magnitude of the events.

Sadistic Children, Heroes, and Monsters evolve!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed all of the stories in the book.

Outpost 46 was a great story. It could have been slightly longer in my opinion. I loved the action and the characteristics of the soldiers involved.

Extinction Bridge was good. I thought that some chapters could have been longer and others a little shorter.

The White King was amazing. That was one character that I always wondered how it evolved. The character of Valen/Kyle/Scabs should have been changed or eliminated in my opinion. It felt weird reading his segments.

Mother was an outstanding book. That was the story that I loved the most. I wasn’t sure if the children were involved at first but as the story advanced, I was sure that they had to be involved somehow. It did feel slightly weird reading about sadistic killer children though.

From the Ashes was a good story. While reading it, I felt like many parts could have been expanded. I thought that they could have been slightly longer.

This collection of stories definitely are faithful to the Extinction Cycle world created by Nicholas Sansbury Smith! They remain true in the world building, the characters, the creatures, the action, and... the intense visceral emotion!

I enjoyed these stories as they brought back the gut wrenching fear and the dread as we wait with the characters as they face off the Variants. All of the stories are a great addition... However, one story really gripped me in horror more so than the others... The story Mother... answers the questions we have regarding children surviving on their own... That is all that I will say! Read this collection for yourself!

This is a great way to revisit the Extinction Cycle world with different viewpoints and perspectives. The stories are definitely fresh and original. This is a perfect anthology for those who want MORE! :) Based on these stories, I am intrigued to see what else these writers have written!

Another outstanding collection of stories from the Extinction Cycle to keep you up at night.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

These stories are about the first weeks of the Hemorrhage Virus and variant infection and infestation that swept around the world in just days. Not a bunch of shambling walkers or zombies, these nightmares are from a virus, created in a laboratory and released by a non-symptomatic researcher who became symptomatic and bleeding from every orifice, attacking the travelers in a crowded terminal in Chicago. The tales in Missions From The Extinction Cycle (Volume 2) are the rest of the story.

Wether you've read the Extinction Cycle books or not, these short stories are standalone amazing and perfect introductions to the series. The authors from around the world capture moments of pure terror in sometimes graphic detail. Some more graphic then others, but every one a helluva read!

Thrilling.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm so glad that these were republished because I didn't get to read them when they were in the Kindle Worlds program. The Extinction Series is one of my all time favourites and seeing the different perspective each author gives was awesome. Each book was well written and developed. They were each action packed and added much to the world already created by Nicholas Sansbury Smith. Some of the authors in this anthology were new to me, but I will definitely check out more. Loved this collection and I highly recommend.

So good!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

I read a few of these when they were published in Kindle Worlds. The new stories by Rachel Aukes and Eloise Knapp are fantastic and worth the admission price here. I loved learning more about Lieutenant Flathman and his outpost. I'm also a big fan of the Bone Collector by Jeff Olah, and reading about the White King by Eloise Knapp made this collection just as good as the first. Highly recommend for Extinction Cycle fans and lovers of fast moving zombie fiction!

Awesome and thrilling collection!

Volume Two of Missions from the Extinction Cycle is an awesome and thrilling collection of short stories set in the apocalyptic world created by Nicholas Sansbury Smith. Two of the stories are new and I loved them as much as the other four that had been published earlier! All six have interesting perspectives relating to the Extinction Cycle series. Whether or not you have already read the series won't affect your enjoyment of this collection. Go for it!

Slight Printing Issue

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Love the book, can't get enough of the Extinction world. However, the first printing run (from which I am assuming my copy came from) has a number of pages with light and almost unreadable words. NSS, straighten those guys out, I don't want to miss a single word of these stories.

Entertaining anthology spin-off

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 20, 2019

Great set of short stories set in the Extinction universe. Some of them link directly into events in the Extinction set, telling back stories of characters briefly met in those books, which is cool. Great stuff, and a good intro to some new authors you may not have read previously.

Another excellent book from the extinction universe, back stories on some characters we have already met in the series and other in new ones. Excellent writing and fit in the series flawlessly.

Truly Amazing! What a page turner!!!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

Extinction Cycle is one of the best if not the best Post-Apocalyptic Sci-fi series I have ever read. I started this series on March 13, 2020 with Extinction Horizon and finished with Extinction Darkness from Season Two on June 30, 2020. There are supporting stories that I read with this series and they will not leave you disappointed. This review is the same for each book but trust me when I say you will not want to put these books down when you start them. They are truly amazing.
