Extinction Book 2: Revolt of the Angels

Volume 6 in the Adventures of V seriesAs the evil Boy's Cult of Death - and its hordes of True Believer zombie-bats - sweeps across the desert, V and her Cosmos Centurion companion Kat race towards Camp Terminus, an ancient rare metals mine, a concentration camp, where V's fellow hybrids, and human dissidents - including children - are held in horrendous conditions in a steamy inferno more than a mile underground. Terminus is a decrepit, ancient, monstrous - sort of steampunk - rare earth mine.It is totally isolated, cut off, deep in the desert. Its existence is top-secret, known only to a few. It is policed by sadistic madmen, thugs, and petty tyrants. Far underground, enslaved mind-neutered alien-human hybrids and utterly isolated human dissidents - and two high-spirited kids, Jake and Gloria - struggle to survive. Just before V and Kat arrive, Camp Terminus is attacked by a deadly ghoul virus - an emanation of the Boy. It morphs people instantly into slobbering - and sometimes cannibalistic = ghouls.And the Boy himself, the Prophet of Death, and his winged true believer zombie hordes sweep in to sow destruction. The World Mind, which controls all the machinery and security of Terminus, fails - and everything ceases to function - elevators, ventilation, pumps, electricity, computers, lights. Explosions and fires, floods and avalanches, sweep through the abyssal labyrinth.V and Kat desperately struggle to rescue the enslaved mind-neutered hybrids and the human prisoners from an inferno of destruction. While murderous chaos reigns at Terminus, far away, in the desert, one of the mind-neutered hybrids, formally a world-famous designer and model, Claire V Jacobs, locked in her sleek alien reptilian form, awakes from her enslaved torpor at the Erotic Electro Circus, and throws off her chains.As the struggle at Terminus reaches its climax, V must face off in a preliminary duel - temptations in the desert - with the glamorous Byronic Boy, the charismatic religious leader, yet another incarnation of the Infinite Evil Force, V's eternal nemesis, earlier embodied in the sadistic Russian oligarch Dmitry Pavlov and the diabolic other-worldly dwarf, the Puppet Master. And if V does win her duel, and if she and Kat save the prisoners, where can they take them in a desolate and dying world?
