In this sequel to the post apocalyptic thriller, Extermination Day, the world waits quietly for the deadly virus to return. Only this time they are prepared thanks to time travelers from the future. Or so they think.
When something they believed had been destroyed emerges from the ground, Jeff Madison, Holly Scarborough, and Lieutenant Commander Buddy Paulson must join forces to stop it. As they are preparing to fight, another deadly threat emerges, this one completely unexpected, hiding its lethality in the form of an innocent.
Jeff Madison never wanted to be a hero. He never wanted to see his friends and family die. He never wanted to time travel into the past to try and save humanity from a deadly virus in the future. But the evil that attacked the world left him with no choice. He's always been a fighter. Now is his time to fight.
Jeff and the others think they know what is coming on Extermination Day. They've had a lifetime to prepare for the onslaught. The days turn into years, and each passing moment brings the Apocalypse closer. But when the time finally arrives, no one is expecting what comes next.
NanoSwarm Extermination Day Book Two eBook William Turnage
I really enjoyed the first book; "Extermination Day".Tossed the second book at the 20% mark because Mr. Turnage couldn't be bothered to proof his own work.
The USS Essex figures prominently in the story; over the course of just 10 pages, it is variously described as an "assault ship", a "destroyer", and a "battleship". Not trying to nitpick, but that looks like fast/sloppy writing to me. (There is an old adage - write about what you know; ships are obviously not the author's forte.)
The fight scenes are similarly perfunctory; has Mr. Turnage ever been in a fight or even gamed out the fight sequence? The fights scenes are just action interludes to spice up the narrative - not very credible or interesting.
Disappointing; I wanted to like the book.

NanoSwarm Extermination Day Book Two eBook William Turnage Reviews
This is a very good and well written story (2books) that really captures your imagination and even sort of made me feel like I was, or wanted to be part of what was happening. In this story there are great horrors like none you would ever want to encounter, but there is great hope as well, even a bit of romance, take some time, let your mind wander, enjoy...
Not bad...the story was interesting, and I liked the characters. At the very end the science got a little too heady for me and I just had to suspend disbelief to get through it, but it was fun. I was hoping for more at the end but I guess that was as good a place as any to end it without taking us into another book. Still a few things unexplained at the end...but all in all, a good read.
I don't know where to start. I thought the first book in this series was good, exciting, and varied but this second and final book is over the top! Time travel, aliens, and weapons galore are found here. You better have a clear mind while reading this one because the trail is a convoluted one all the way to the end
A good story, and very well written.
My one quibble would be Mr. Turnage's tendency to throw in "one more thing" or "one last twist" a little too often. I feel his style would be great for a television series, where the plot needs to continue, and new, plausible developments need to keep cropping up. In the novel format I occasionally felt like he was just stretching out the story./
Still, I would recommend this series, and I intend to read more of Mr. Turnage's works.
This series (2 books + 2 short stories) is a thrilling time travel saga. The author side steps the tricky question of what happens when a time traveller alters the future or confronts himself in the past. The imminent extermination of the human race renders the argument moot. If the world is on the brink of an immediate violent end, there is not much you can do to make matters worse.
What the time travellers do is to go for the do over, and when that fails, they try again... and again. Like "Ground Hog Day", you keep doing it over until you get it right.
I'm glad that Turnage resists the temptation to make a ten volume saga, endlessly rebooting the story. The resolution is complete and satisfying.
The pace of the stories is intense. Each chapter leaves you compelled to keep reading, even when it's 200 am and the alarm is set for 700 am.
I am really of two minds about this book. It's at least as well written as the first one for *most* of its length. The story is reasonably interesting and the character behaviour reasonably believable ... again, for *most* of its length.
The problem is, well, the ending ... it's a mix of almost fantasy wish fulfilment and really trite writing. Worse, it feels as if there should have been a third book, and the 'ending' should have been expanded to *be* that third book ... it's just too short, too sketchy and it's as if the author simply ran out of puff and just wrapped it up overnight, when it really needed a more detailed and better developed ending.
Up to that point? Probably 3-4 Stars (not quite as good as the first book, which was a 4 Star, pretty much, for a self published effort). The ending, however, drags down my opinion to 2-3 Stars at best.
I read the first volume, enjoyed it, and thought I would try the next in the series. I did not, unfortunately.
Nano Swarm; Extermination Day Book Two reminded me of a 1940's comic book, complete with blimp like craft lowering tentacles to the earth, extraterrestrials that look a bit like bears, speak a bit of English and keep humans as pets, swarms of those nano things sent by a civilization that wants to populate the universe and that eat concrete, steel, and people, and more.
Good science fiction to me must have a bit of believability attached. It is all fantasy, of course, but one must be able to perceive in some manner the possibility of the scenario presented. That was just not there for me. I put this book in the same category as the King Kong movie, and the Japanese horror movies of the sixties and seventies.
I really enjoyed the first book; "Extermination Day".
Tossed the second book at the 20% mark because Mr. Turnage couldn't be bothered to proof his own work.
