Synopsis: As the world-wide effects of the apocalyptic scenario continue to develop, tough decisions must be made for the sake of humanity itself.
Tired of the usual post-apocalyptic story? Welcome to your new addiction.
An underwater explosion devastates a chain of islands.
A mysterious illness begins to spring up across the world.
Earthquakes shatter the west coast, causing untold damage and loss of life.
To the ordinary observer, these events appear random and coincidental - but for some they're all pieces of a global puzzle that leads to one conclusion: the end of humanity.
In a desperate race against time, the survivors must not only survive but learn to adapt to an insidious set of foes, each more dangerous than the last.
 
My Review: After the MOHO explosion causing V8 eruptions and 9.3 earthquakes the survivors learn that they are not over the worst of it yet as a deadly virus is unleashed and not everyone will survive unharmed.
 
Peta is tasked with finding out what is causing the spreading disasters but after finding out that ICONS are not who they portrayed themselves to be Peta and Devon go rogue and now on the run they have to find a way to stay alive.
 
Now in the Nevada plains after escaping the military in the midst of a Yellowstone eruption Tyler and his parents teamed up with Peta and Devon out of desperation and with already losing so much will the coming days take more from the young boy?
 
Jessica was fortunate to be tucked away on the Libi Nati Preserve in Suriname being one of a few to escape the original events unscathed, the local hot springs erupted into geysers and people began to fall ill including her father but when he wakes up he is not himself and Jessica has to turn to the local Lokono for help and they reveal the terrifying truth about the Kra Puru disease that the whole world is calling The Kuru.
 
Jason left Seattle trying to figure out how he was still alive when he had watched so many die from the disease while working in the hospital, he goes in search of a daughter he has never know while carrying a folder full of crucial information and trying to survive.
 
Mads worked with ICONS to try and cover up her guilt but she is blinded by the real threat as she works becoming infected with The Kuru, she is forced to choose what her final act will be, will she do good or be selfish?
 
This was a great 2nd instalment in the Extinction series and I cannot wait to see how it unfolds in book 3
