The Extraction

Some promises are worth dying for

By: Tim Christmann

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He made a promise. Now he has to keep it—or live with the guilt forever.
Twenty months ago, Shaw escaped a madman’s experiment—shrunk to half an inch tall, hunted by insects, trapped on a plastic platform in an underground Nevada facility. He made it out. Sixteen others didn’t.
He promised he’d come back for them.
When an earthquake shatters the barriers protecting the survivors, Shaw finally gets his chance. Leading a team of elite soldiers into the ruins, he expects to face everything that nearly killed him before. What he finds is worse. The ants have been enhanced—genetically modified for intelligence and aggression, coordinated by a Queen whose mind rivals any human.
The survivors once knew how to fight. But months behind safe walls have made them soft—and now those walls are gone. Among them is Lyra, a baby born at half-inch scale, carrying secrets in her blood that no one yet understands.
The platform is collapsing. The swarm is closing in. And Shaw has one chance to keep the promise that’s haunted him for twenty months.
Some debts can only be paid in blood.
Some promises are worth dying for.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, and James Rollins.
