The Death Trilogy #3
The Death: Extinction
The world is now on the brink of a sixth major extinction event.
Those who have survived don't look at themselves as the lucky but the cursed.
Devin is desperate to find Tess. Operating on a hunch that she may have survived, he will complete his transformation into the man he never imagined he could be. With mercy only for the innocent, he will deal lethal blows to those who dare get in his way.
Travis finds himself lost following Lori's death, but Cassidy will give him purpose again. Longing to find Tess and Cassidy needing to know if Devin is alive, they both will venture across the wasteland that is America. The road will be long and harsh but the two will find solace in each other.
Chancellor Horton has escaped with a new virus more lethal than The Death. He is determined to fulfill his plan of world domination but what he doesn't realize is this new virrus is unpredictable and if released will doom many species on the planet.
As the world careens towards another disaster, can Devin, Travis and Cassidy complete their journeys and reunite with the ones they love?

The ending... wow... =/

Kind of disappointing
I read the first 2 installments in a row and anxiously waited for the third. The first two were very good. The third was not as good. It,s not that it didn't have a happy ending-I wasn't expecting one-I just didn't think the third part was as good. It seems like it was shorter, and wrapped everything up very quickly. More a men's to an end than the end of a story. That being said, I would definitely read more from this author.

I really wanted it to be different
I loved this entire series. Not long after star Extinction, I knew how it would end. I kept hoping it wouldn't but deep down, I knew.
John Vance has created such vibrant and realistic characters. You really feel invested in the characters lives and what happens to them. I wanted different endings for them all. But that just wouldn't have worked.

The Death Trilogy
Was mushrooming for something to read when I found this series. Once I started reading I got involved in the lives of the characters. When I finished the first book, I couldn't wait to get the second in the series, and so on. The only regret I have is that the story finally came to an end. I would recommend this series to anyone, especially if you are interested in apocalyptic outcomes.

Ok everything I thought would happen did not total surprise.
Wow what a journey one you think will end like most do with happiness but it's called death for a reason. I could not put this trilogy down running my iPad battery to empty and charging it was the only reason to stop reading. I was surprised and shocked so many times. A story that kept me guess and saying WTF! A must read that will keep you reading and will give a reading hangover.

The ending was disappointing
It seemed like midway through book 3 that the author kinda gave up. I can't say much more without spoiling the story, so I will say this - what took 2 1/2 books to develop came crashing down in a hot mess in the final chapters. But I do think it's still worth the read.

Not as good as the first two ...
The book was pretty good. I enjoyed the first two books in the series more, but still worth a read to see how the story concludes if you've read the first two.

A bit of a let down
After the excitement and quality of earlier books in this trilogy, the ending was both a letdown and depressing. Still worth the read, the last book saddened me and depressed me with its lack of hope or belief in humanity.

Written by an ex Marine, pretty scary stuff.

I liked the series but was the author trying to win the award for "most depressing-heartbreaking series" Cassidy didn't deserve to live that way. but I guess not every series can have a happy ending

Suckiest ending ever!
I loved the first two books and was waiting for, if not a happy ending, one that left hope. Didn't happen. I won't read anything else from this author.

Must read
Real page turner series!
Finished the full series in 2 days. Makes you think about our dependence on the government.

All of this time reading this series.....for that??!
Luckily it wasn’t a series that i loved and it was just an ‘ok’ bunch of books for me but i still feel supremely let down.
