Stephen King has nothing on Ike Hamill, whose latest novel, Extinct, will leave you breathless.  This extraordinary story is a masterpiece of suspense and horror.  The tale initially unfolds by following two characters in alternating chapters: Robby, a thirteen year old boy genius, and Brad, a fortyish computer programmer.  Each story line is intriguing on its own, and they seamlessly converge about halfway into the book, setting up a brilliant second half.Mr. Hamill has already proven himself to be a master storyteller with The Vivisectionist, The Hunting Tree, and Lies of the Prophet.  He outdoes himself with Extinct.  Along with the thrills and chills, the reader is challenged to think and ask himself some very difficult universal questions.  Thank you, Mr. Hamill, for your brilliance, your originality,  and for sharing it all with your readers.
