My Review: This is the 3^rd instalment of the Extinction series and the part took a bit of a dip in the series compared to the last two but I still enjoyed reading it.
 
In Brink of Extinction it has been 12 days since the MOHO exploded and we find out why ICONS were really interested in the MOHO and now realising that they should have left it well alone and with the earths tectonics continuing to shift, nature and mankind are on the brink of being wiped out.
 
Peta thinks she know how to stop the world from ending but with travelling almost impossible due to the dangers of not just the earth but the people rioting she needs help in getting to the origins of the prion disease and Devon her colleague who escaped from the Mohorovicic Discontinuity (MOHO) with her is the man to help her and they head for the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) where the government’s last best hope failed due to The Kuru is Peta leading them on a mission that is doomed to fail?
 
Tyler fully believes that Peta can pull off the impossible after she saved him and his father from Madagascar and with both of his parents now victims of the MOHO disaster he is left on his own as they all travel to Suriname in hopes of finding a cure and nothing will get in his way.
 
From the moment the earth changing event began Jason was thrown right back into his past where he was struggling with surviving the war where many perished in front of him and with the help of his loyal dog Marty he is able to focus on the present and not give up on finding his daughter, he is hoping that whatever genetic property he has that makes him immune to The Kuru also makes his daughter immune too. Along with his friend Eddy who had managed to recover from the disease Jason travels to the CDC lab.
 
Jessica feels alone now that her father has been affected by the Kra Puru and left her alone she must come to terms with her new reality and although she doesn’t want to believe the old stories of the prion disease she can’t help but see that people who survived the Kra Puru have changed and now her loving jungle is sick too.
 
Peta, Devon, Tyler, Jason and Eddy are all on the same quest but for different reasons, can they all work together to achieve their main goals?
