Book Review: Extinction

Extinction: A Thriller by Mark Alpert Reviewed by Sergio Ragno




I’m going to be honest with you.  I picked up Extinction because of the cool cyber arm on the cover.  I have a real weakness for Sci-Fi Espionage stories, and I guess I just have good instincts because Extinction ended up being a member of that rare genre, and an excellent one at that!  Extinction uses very topical world events such as the War on Terror, Wiki-Leaks, and Artificial Intelligence as a foundation to explore the boundaries between man and machine, and reveals the line to be more ethereal than one may assume, and on a more haunting note, may vanish via our own misguided machinations.
