Extinction

The last human stronghold has fallen, and the few survivors live as nomads, hunted for sport by Colonel Thade's soldiers. Daenna and her father Karubi struggle to lead a ragtag band of humans to safety in a maze of mountain caves. But soon they're between a rock and a hard place -- the caves are inhabited by creatures more brutal than the apes! Krull argues for more compassionate treatment of humans, but is he a match for Thade's growing military influence? Can the human wanderers learn to work together after the tragic loss of their leader?Whitman, John is the author of 'Extinction', published 2003 under ISBN 9780060098889 and ISBN 0060098880.
