Extinction: The Warriors Return

by Jay Korza

In a small portion of the galaxy, Earth is joined with many other worlds to form the Coalition. The Coalition and its member species work together in an attempt to mitigate the inevitable conflicts that arise as more and more of the galaxy is explored and its riches claimed. Daria is a Marine Corps Corpsman assigned to one of the many Coalition’s combined species units. After her husband is killed in a training flight accident, Daria and her closest friend are deployed to a scientific research planet to guard the personnel at the base. Along with a team of Force Recon Marines, she will descend into the buried remains of a long-lost civilization and uncover startling information about a warrior species who are returning to their once claimed portion of the galaxy to take it back into their empire. Meanwhile, a group of Coalition Special Forces is sent into the very heart of the warrior’s home system in an attempt to gain any information they can on their new enemy. Seth, a newly graduated officer, is thrust into a leading role on the mission after he shows exceptional promise as a team operator. Together with his mentor, they must rescue a group of prisoners on an enemy planet and return home to help prepare for the inevitable invasion. The warriors are coming back with advanced technology, genetically-engineered superior soldiers, and a lust for blood and war that is unrivaled among the Coalition forces. Two teams race against time in an attempt to save everything the Coalition has worked for centuries to build…(188,121 Words)

I really enjoyed this book. While I am not generally a huge sci-fi fan I was recommended this book by a friend. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was romance/action intermingled into the story. The character development was great and the unique short flashbacks allowed me to understand the characters better than usual. I found it interesting to see where each of them had come from, which helped them play their particular part in the story. I was surprised and pleased at the ending and am looking forward to a sequel if there is one!

I firmly believe that BOOKS are very important.
Especially today. In a world gone crazy with instant gratification, & where most people have the attention span of a shelled-turtle.. It becomes the duty of everyone who STILL loves to read, to make an effort to preach the benefits of a GOOD BOOK!
In the case of a NEW AUTHOR, it is an even greater challenge. How do I get someone to TRY something untested by the usual plethora of reviews afforded well known authors? TWO WORDS.. "TRUST ME!"
I have been reading SCI-FICTION since Azimov was writing for Science fiction magazines that cost a DIME!
Reading Jay Korza's "Extinction," gave me the same feeling I had at the age of 10.
The Characters are well defined, The story is exciting, and in a genre that has gotten so scientific, you need a degree in physics to follow the story-line, Extinction keeps it simple, and tantalizingly fast paced. In conclusion, you can order the KINDLE version for only $2.99. Take a chance on a new author, & like me, You too will be begging Jay Korza for more, MORE.. MORE!

Great Hard Sci Fi

Fast paced action, along with superb character descriptions I love this author's ability to keep this story line moving along with one action scene after another if you love hard science fiction with lots of action this is a great story!!

Enjoyable space opera. It has a few wrinkles.
