A review by erikamm
Extinction Horizon by Nicholas Sansbury Smith
3.0
Better than Orbs, but still not on the Hell Divers level. The writing needs work as far as character depth, but the story line is great. I really like that this author has such a range of stories.
Is there a possible romance brewing between Kate & Beckham? (I hope so!) There is good science behind the infected, but I wouldn't consider this a true zombie story. The military aspect seems almost forced, but not exactly realistic (based solely on other military fiction I've read). The author makes a point to let us know that the infected still have some sot of humanity left deep inside (a "hint") which makes them less mindless or monstrous at times, although it is unclear if this is really the case or if it is wishful thinking on the protagonist's part.
Gibson's character is the epitome of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Overall good story.
