MY REVIEW
Extinct by Ike Hamill has an awesome cover, so I had to take a walk into the woods, during a blizzard to find out WTH is going on.
Robby is an intellectual young boy, always analyzing, so when the freak snowstorm hits on Thanksgiving and people began to go missing, he began questioning…everything.
Well, I’m still no sure exactly what’s going on and neither is our gang of survivors…that keeps dwindling in numbers. Vanishing into thin air, eyeballs popping our of their heads, ‘water’ devouring anything it touches…
This ragtag band keeps moving, not always forward, but sticking together, going the extra mile, doing whatever they can to save our world.
The characters come and go and at each juncture in their adventure I wonder who will vanish next. Where do they go? Who is taking them?
The world building is so richly detailed I could follow the thin blue line with them and we all know in troubled times peoples true colors are exposed.
Well, this has been one wild ride, danger around every corner and the mystery of ‘them’ hangs in every word. Good thing Book II, Instinct is ready and available, because I want to know. It looks like…so far…there are five books, so you will be seeing more of Ike Hamill’s work on fundinmental.
GOODREADS BLURB
Channel Two predicted a
blanket of snow for Thanksgiving weekend–unusual, but not alarming for
the little Maine island. What comes is a blinding blizzard, and a mass
disappearance of nearly every person Robby Pierce knows. He and his
family flee, trying to escape the snow and the invisible forces stealing
people right from the street.
Miles away, Brad Jenkins battles the
same storm. Alone, he attempts to survive as snow envelops his house.
When the storm breaks, Brad makes his way south to where the snow ends
and the world lies empty. Join Brad, Robby, and the other survivors as
they fight to find the truth about the apocalypse and discover how to
live in their new world.
