Extinction is the second novel in B.V. Larson???s STAR FORCE series about professor Kyle Riggs who was picked up by an alien spaceship and now captains a fleet of ships that are protecting earth from other aliens. I called the first book, Swarm, ???a silly, but exciting, male wish-fulfillment fantasy.??? I wouldn???t have moved on to book two, but the audiobook publisher sent it to me for a review, so here we are.
Extinction takes place soon after the events of Swarm. Kyle has made a deal with the bad aliens. He promised that if they???d leave the Earth alone, he???d supply them with trained troops to help them fight their other battles around the universe. He needs to get those troops ready before the aliens come to collect. He also needs to figure out how to make more spaceships because the aliens have kidnapped a bunch of them, along with their captains, so they can use them to fight elsewhere. Meanwhile, Kyle is also dealing with the U.S. government who wants to get its hands on the technology that Star Force is using.

An interesting story, but just as the narrator concluded by the end of this book, the war wasn't really with the worms. It's with the Macros. On to book 3!
