Extinction: Book Three of the Viral Apocalypse Series

by Michael McBride

The heart-stopping conclusion to The Viral Apocalypse Series!

The virus has run its deadly course and the threat posed by the infected is nearing its end, but the true danger is only beginning. The survivors have fractured into two camps, gathering at ancient ruins in the Arizona desert and a subterranean military base beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Both factions know what comes next.

One side follows a prophetic Native American elder toward the salvation of humankind, while the other is commanded by a seemingly immortal being devoted to its eradication. A final battle to determine which side will prevail looms on the horizon, growing closer with every passing second.

There’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, eight strangers must accept their destinies and launch a desperate offensive against the forces of darkness, knowing that not all of them will survive the confrontation. Can they execute their daring plan before the enemy unleashes hell on earth?

Or is humanity doomed to extinction?

Good, intense with iffy action

I liked how the stories and characters all came together at the end but it was all rather protracted and a bit ridiculous regarding the skin walkers. The power to transfer bodies and that insanity to never die makes sense but why do so many bullets hit the animal skulls and they just chip off? Bullets go through bone. And why would people keep aiming for the head on a freaking giant? It’s just dumb. And among all those survivors banks couldn’t find more bullets? Also why did evil attack evil if the crows were leading them around? Just a few questions that bugged me even if I liked the story over all.

Absolutely amazing conclusion to one of the best outbreak thrillers since Stephen King's famous The Stand. The story is complex and told from a number of different perspectives. This trilogy is worth the time for ANYONE not squeamish and enjoying complex stories.
