Extinction
Jason Roberts, wounded on a mission for the president, is convalescing at his father’s home. Life in central North Carolina is peaceful and calm. Maybe even a little boring. Then an unknown virus surfaces. It spreads through the air, contact or ingestion. In the space of three weeks, humankind is on the verge of extinction. No one is safe. Nine out of ten people exposed to the virus mutate, losing their ability to communicate and reason. Their metabolism sky-rockets. They grow incredibly strong, animal fast, and extremely violent. Across the globe, cities fall to the onslaught. Jason, his dad and sister are among the ten percent immune to the virus. The Extinction Saga chronicles the Roberts family’s desperate attempt not only to survive, but also to rescue other survivors. Along the way, they are forced to combat the infected… and even other survivors.

About the author
H.V. Purvis
8 books10 followersH.V. Purvis was born in 1952 and reared in rural North Carolina near Siler City. He was raised in the country where he was exposed to farming, raising animals, hunting and fishing. While a youngster, he learned to handle guns, shoot, ride horses and spent many hours daily riding the trails around his home.
His talents in music lead to an Associate in Arts degree in music from Sandhills Community College, a Bachelor in Arts in music education from Pfeiffer University and a Masters in music from Appalachian State University. After college, he worked as a church music director and taught high school chorus and theatre. In 1992, he left teaching and started Purvis Appraisals, a real estate appraisal business.
He has three children from his first marriage. He considers them to be three of his best friends.
He and Ally, his current wife, live on a small ranch in Scotland County adjoining forty-three thousand acres of State wildlife preserve. They have eleven horses, a faithful dog, an affectionate cat, some Guinea hens and a few chickens. They ride regularly on the wildlife preserve, at the beach, and in the mountains.
Purvis is an avid reader. Several years ago, he and his active imagination developed a story idea. He wrote it out and began to develop it as a book. That story and the encouragement he received from his friends and family led to an obsession for writing.
