Summary

They thought they survived the extinction cycle, but a powerful evil lurks in the shadows...Now old and new heroes join forces to save what’s left of the world in this thrilling sci-fi audio adventure.

Eight years ago, an engineered virus ravaged the globe, infecting and transforming humans into apex predators called Variants. Billions died, civilization collapsed, and the human race teetered on the brink of extinction. Nations banded together and heroes rose up to fight these abominations. On the front lines, Captain Reed Beckham and Master Sergeant Joe "Fitz" Fitzpatrick of Delta Force Team Ghost fought against the Variant hordes. With the aid of CDC Doctor Kate Lovato, they helped lead humanity to victory.

Now, almost a decade after the end of the war, civilization has slowly clawed toward recovery. In the Allied States of America, survivors live in outposts where they have rebuilt industry, agriculture, and infrastructure. The remaining Variants are believed to be dying off under destroyed cities and the abandoned frontier. But evil and intelligent forces dwell in the shadows with the starving beasts, scheming to restart the extinction cycle and end humanity forever. And once again, Beckham, Fitz, and Kate will rise to fight them, along with new heroes to try and save what remains of the world.

R. C. Bray brings to life the beloved characters of this series and expertly depicts their turmoil and struggle for survival.

Note: This new season is a self-contained storyline. Listeners do not have to hear the first seven books of the Extinction Cycle to jump into book one of Extinction Cycle: Dark Age. For returning listeners, this audiobook takes place after book seven, Extinction War.

Another cracking read

Bray scores again a full array of voices, characters and all done with feeling.
The storyline from the two authors is also to be commended, I just don’t know where their imagination will take us next.
Well done to all.

Great story

It was great to have the characters back. The storyline was good and certainly enhanced by RC Bray's narration. I'm starting part 2 now.

First Book in a New Series Has Me Hooked

Performance from RC Bray is top notch as usual.

I am new to this series and am thoroughly enjoying it. The characters are well developed, the story is paced well and keeps you wanting more.

It has the right balance of victory and defeat to make it an enjoyable story, that is not as depressing as some of the books in this genre.

Go team Ghost.

Action packed! NSS delivers again

An adrenaline-pumping audiobook blending military action with a chilling sci-fi premise. NSS crafts a tense narrative filled with fast-paced combat and high-stakes survival. The narration skills of RC Bray brings the characters to life, adding depth and emotion to their struggles against a relentless threat. "Extinction Shadow" is a thrilling listen that will keep you hooked.

A good yarn, very well read

I haven't listened to the first series and it looks like I'm going to have to. It was fast paced and it felt sometimes, that I wanted to come up for air. As usual, R.C.Bray was brilliant with his oration, and added so much depth to the story.

Welcome to a New World

This is the first book in a completely new series. For those of us who loved The Extinction Cycle from beginning to end it's a wonderful return to a New World. Gripped me from the start and never let me go.
