The Sixth Extinction is an apocalyptic tale about a pandemic that sweeps the globe, decimating the human race, leaving humanity struggling to survive. Within three weeks everything has changed. Social structure has collapsed. The police are non-existent, and the army concentrates on the cities. Gangs of yobs rule the streets. It becomes everyone for themselves.
The story follows three different people, and their journeys of self-discovery through the changing world.
Noah Morgan is just an average twenty-one-year-old. He has no aspirations in life, no girlfriend, few friends, and a dead-end job. Red is a nineteen-year-old female runaway, with a sad past and a disturbing secret. Together they leave behind everything they have ever known, looking for a safe haven.
Doctor Melanie Lazaro is working around the clock, under military supervision, in Exeter University’s Biomedical Sciences Department, trying to create a cure for the new pandemic that is turning humans back to their primordial roots, creating mindless killing machines with only one purpose − to eat.
Glen Johnson was born in England in 1973. He used to live in Devon, just stone’s throw away from the English Riviera, but in August 2014, he gave away all his belongings and bought a backpack, and he traveled around Southeast Asia for four years. He is the author of 54 fiction and non-fiction books. While he travels, he helped charitable organizations, writing and releasing books about their foundations, leaving them with all the royalties. His first charity book called Soi Dog: The Story Behind Asia’s Largest Animal Welfare Shelter is available in e-book and paperback worldwide. He has also started to release a collection of books about his travel adventures as they unfold, and Living the Dream: Part One - Khaosan Road, Thailand is available from all good e-book retailers. He is also on the development team for a new computer game called The Seed (out now), from the creators of the award-winning S.T.A.L.K.E.R Misery mod. He loves to travel and has already visited forty-two different countries. At present, he lives in Bangkok, Thailand, but he has also lived in Mexico, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia and Singapore. He has also been married twice – and still refuses to say where he buried them.
