Extinction Darkness (The Extinction Cycle: Dark Age Book 4) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith and Anthony Melchiorri

June 17, 2020 Charla Review - Submitted

Extinction Darkness (The Extinction Cycle: Dark Age Book 4) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith and Anthony Melchiorri is AMAZING!  Beckham, Horn, Kate and Team Ghost have fought for freedom from the monsters – both human and non-human and everything in between!  The Prophet and his Scions are just one step away from annihilating the entire race of humans.  That step seems to be mighty large … he must first beat Beckham, Horn, and Team Ghost.   Bent on revenge, the Prophet wreaks havoc.  Death comes to several characters in this last book, but they die with honor and dignity fighting for what they believe in.  Will it be enough?  I won’t spoil the story, but I will tell you, that I just finished the book not 15 minutes ago and I felt compelled to write this review while tears stream down my face!

As co-writers of this story, it is impossible for me to tell differences in the writing styles, they are blended so completely that the story is seamless.  The characters (beloved ones and hated ones alike) are so well developed that the mention of their names will create a reaction.

The story is solidly written with nothing left to question except what comes next after all the carnage and death and … plot twists are excellently executed.  The deaths are dealt with well and the new characters added to the story are impressive and the same care and attention to detail is present.

I will say that there were several times I sat in shock, not believing what I had just read … and disliking both authors to a small degree. Their skill in storytelling is vivid and engaging.  Readers cannot help but be sucked into the story and react to the words and images they create.  While I am sorry to see the series end, it finishes with a solid ending, no questions.

To Nicholas and Anthony … well done!

Extinction Inferno Extinction Cycle: Dark Age, Book 2 By: Nicholas Sansbury Smith, Anthony J. Melchiorri

OMG!  Not only have I chewed my gorgeously long nails down to their quick, but while driving into work listening to this book, I missed my turn not once but twice this morning!  Nicholas Sansbury Smith and Anthony Melchiorri deliver powerful twists one after another in such shocking and powerful ways that one is completely blindsided!

 

Captain Beck and Master Sergeant Horn are once again fighting the variants along with a new, smarter and deadlier foe – human collaborators.  Determined to save the Allied States, President Ringgold and her political opponent must join forces to change the tide of the variant war they believed was over.  Team Ghost must recover vital electronic equipment that Kate Lovato needs to decipher a new and highly disturbing development.  In true Sansbury Smith fashion, this is a story that will have you holding your breath and leave your head reeling with revelations and surprises.

 

Sansbury Smith and Melchiorri continue to captivate listeners with his masterful storytelling and powerfully vivid details and dialog.  Although it could be listened to as a standalone, you will want to hear the entire series!

 

R.C. Bray is amazing as a narrator!  He has assumed the characters in this series and projects them vividly and without hesitation.  His narration skills are outstanding.  His voice and ability to surprise the listener with an upcoming twist in the storyline is potent.  His voice reflects the personality and character traits of each character with authority.  I can’t imagine an Extinction book without him!

When I learned that Nicholas Sansbury Smith was going to pick up the Extinction Series again, I was elated!  I love Team Ghost, Beckham and Horn.   I loved the way the variants took center stage and continued to be the truly horrifying creatures that they have always been.  Then there are the human monsters which also continue to amaze me.

Beckham, Horn and Team Ghost investigate the missing residents of several outposts.  What they discover is truly gut-wrenching. Then there are the difficult decisions and situations that Beckham and Horn find themselves; one cannot help but become a slight bit weepy.  This book has politics and monsters (yes, sometimes they are hard to distinguish between) and so much more! Non-stop, fast-paced action.

Nicholas Sansbury Smith and Anthony Melchiorri, authors, blended their writing skills successfully making their writing transitions seamless. The plot, character development, and a few developments that leave the listener biting their nails takes this series into new terrifying heights.

The narrator, R.C. Bray does a fantastic job of narration.  He moves the story along with his talented voice and narration skills.  With a talented set of authors and a truly skilled narrator such as Bray, one can visualize the characters and the action.

I had the honor of reading the ARC, the written version is very good as well, however, the audiobook is the pièce de résistance.

There were no issues with the production quality of this audiobook.
