Synopsis

Jason Roberts, wounded on a mission for the president, is convalescing at his father’s home. Life in central North Carolina is peaceful and calm. Maybe even a little boring. Then an unknown virus surfaces. It spreads through the air, contact or ingestion. In the space of three weeks, humankind is on the verge of extinction. No one is safe. Nine out of ten people exposed to the virus mutate, losing their ability to communicate and reason. Their metabolism sky-rockets. They grow incredibly strong, animal fast, and extremely violent. Across the globe, cities fall to the onslaught. Jason, his dad and sister are among the ten percent immune to the virus. The Extinction Saga chronicles the Roberts family’s desperate attempt not only to survive, but also to rescue other survivors. Along the way, they are forced to combat the infected… and even other survivors.
