Beyond the reach of the nuclear infernos, the masterminds survived and continue their assault on outposts across the Allied States. Timothy Temper and Sergeant Ruckley narrowly escaped one of those attacks. On the run from hostile forces, they fight to get an urgent message to command-the monsters aren't the only threat. Their human allies have a nuclear weapon. Refusing to hide underground, President Jan Ringgold heads to New York. Doctor Kate Lovato and her team are there working to infiltrate and sabotage enemy communications. To buy them time, S.M. Fischer and his engineers deploy technology to detect incoming Variant attacks. But they can't hold the monsters for much longer. Deep in enemy territory, Master Sergeant Fitzpatrick and Captain Beckham discover the terrifying truth behind the New Gods and a plan even more nefarious than eliminating the human race. This time, the future depends not just on the survival of Team Ghost, but their ability to convince new allies to join the fight before it's too late.

    • The award-winning saga returns in the next season of the Extinction Cycle. Survivors believed the extinction cycle had ended, but a powerful evil lurks in the shadows. Eight years ago, an engineered virus ravaged the globe, transforming humans into apex predators known as Variants. Billions perished, civilization collapsed, and humanity faced extinction. Nations united, and heroes emerged to combat these abominations. On the front lines, Captain Reed Beckham and Master Sergeant Joe "Fitz" Fitzpatrick of Delta Force Team Ghost fought valiantly against the Variant hordes, aided by CDC Doctor Kate Lovato. Together, they led humanity to victory. Now, nearly a decade later, civilization has slowly begun to recover in the Allied States of America, where survivors have rebuilt industry, agriculture, and infrastructure. The remaining Variants are thought to be dying off beneath destroyed cities and the abandoned frontier. However, sinister and intelligent forces lurk in the shadows, scheming to reignite the extinction cycle and annihilate humanity. Once again, Beckham, Fitz, and Kate will rise to confront this threat, joining forces with new heroes to save what's left of the world. This new season is a self-contained storyline, allowing new readers to jump in without prior knowledge of the first seven books.

      The government claimed the Variants were dying off and that the Allied States had returned to prosperity. However, they were gravely mistaken. Deep underground, the Variants were not only hiding but breeding, collaborating with humans to create a vast organic network aimed at launching a blitzkrieg across the Allied States. Their assault overwhelmed even the most fortified outposts, leading to military retreats. Amidst the chaos, Team Ghost is on a mission to hunt a monster that could turn the tide of war. On the USS 'George Johnson', Doctor Kate Lovato and her scientific team work to understand the Variant network, while oil tycoon S.M. Fischer devises a plan to buy time for the beleaguered outposts. Meanwhile, at Outpost Portland, Captain Reed Beckham and Master Sergeant Parker Horn uncover a disturbing conspiracy involving human collaborators. As the Variant armies surge, those fighting to stop them realize that even their most desperate measures may not be enough to avert total annihilation. The struggle for survival intensifies as the fate of the country hangs in the balance.
