Flash Point

Extinction #2

by Miranda Nading

Two years after their glimpse into the abyss, Ryan Edwards has found comfort in denial, while Melanie Edwards has embraced her reunion with C.O.R.E, and Max Dumerick is obsessed with finding and killing the architect of Armageddon.

Everything they’ve learned says the end of the world will come quietly, like a flower struggling to survive Earth’s rising temperatures. None could have foreseen the coming storm.

Before they can make a stand against Extinction, they must first survive its Flash Point. The end of the world begins now.

About the author

Miranda Nading lives and works in the Pacific Northwest. She writes stories for readers who like their fiction raw, tense, and rooted in survival. Best known for the Extinction Series, she weaves together her love of science, resilience, and humanity pushed to the edge.

Before dedicating herself to storytelling, Miranda served in the military and worked in law enforcement, later adding scuba diving and aviation to her list of adventures. Combined with her Arkansas upbringing and deep connection to the land, these experiences give her novels a gritty realism that fans return to again and again.

When she isn’t writing, Miranda enjoys old homestead crafts, gardening, and canning the fruits of her labor — all with a strong cup of coffee close at hand.

Reviews

[Mari · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an excellent addition to the series, but the book really had no ending. Yes, there is another book after this. Still there should be a wrap up of sorts that leaves the reader wanting to read the next one. The character development is excellent and you want to cheer the person that continues through all the tragedy unfolding around her and in her world.

Again

A story worth telling but never expected until too late. Exploitation of the weak and disadvantaged along with domination by the powerful is human nature. A story retold. Unlearned. Unbelievable. Why do hero's seem bullet proof?

In every book I review I start by giving the author five stars just for writing a complete book. With that attitude then I try to evaluate the characters, the story lines, the presaging, the meshing of stories if there is Juxtapositioning, and last of all I look for distractions as I read. There are no distractions to speak of in this book. The characters are strong though I would as an author add a little more to each in some ways. They are human, have frailties, have hopes, desires, knowledge or the lack of it, they live and breathe. Nothing more should be asked of characters. The Juxtapositioning of the various characters into the story line, a dystopian tale of climate disaster, is good. I wished for a little more at the end but cannot criticize that aspect. I did not dream the book would end when it did. It makes me know there must be another sequel coming and I am ready to read it. This one really did not whet my appetite for more. Nice work Ms. Nading.
