Extant: Beyond the Thaw (The Thaw Chronicles Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Heidi Catherine (Author), Tamar Sloan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 486 ratings

Only the chosen shall seek.

Sea levels have receded, exposing fertile, untouched land. Virgin soil that everyone in a ravaged world is willing to fight for.

Askala knows it needs to stake a claim if they’re going to continue healing the Earth. To do that, a team of Seekers will be sent to colonize it…and assimilate those who don’t understand.

This year, the testing won’t end at the Proving. Passing is no longer just about having a kind heart and a sharp mind. To spread Askala’s word, Seekers also need to survive in this harsh new land. New tests will determine who’s strong and tough enough to be the best of the best.

Sam is determined to prove her father’s vision is what the world needs. Mercy’s about to discover she’s more like her mother than she realized. Hawk believes he was destined to be a Seeker, but does that mean leaving the only girl he’s ever loved? Luca knows he’s never fitted in and isn’t about to try.

Who will pass and have the honor of representing Askala? And how will a society founded on peace succeed in a world where violence is power? Four teens are about to find out.

Lovers of Divergent and The Hunger Games will be blown away by the next installment in the bestselling series, The Thaw Chronicles, from USA Today best-selling author Tamar Sloan and award-winning author Heidi Catherine.

What readers are saying about Beyond the Thaw...

★★★★★ "I read the previous series and thought that no other series could come close to how amazing it was. Reading Extant proved me wrong... This was just as great, if not better than the previous series! I had to recommend you read only one book series this year, this would be it."

★★★★★ "Such a good book! I love these new characters. I also love seeing some of the old characters and seeing how their life has gone!"

★★★★★ "Just wow. This is my favourite instalment of the series so far. Gruelling Proving tests that require every ounce of stamina and savoir-faire; gripping blossoming romances, superb action, and dynamic friendships, relationships... and life questions. The dream team that is Sloan and Catherine have pulled it off again!"

★★★★★ "I love these characters. I truly hope they never want to make a movie because no one could act as well as these characters are written. One hundred books in this series wouldn't be enough! I can't wait to read them all again and again."

    Heidi writes fantasy and dystopian novels, which gives her a chance to escape into worlds vastly different to her own life in the burbs. While she quite enjoys killing her characters (especially the awful ones), she promises she’s far better behaved in real life. Other than writing and reading, Heidi’s current obsessions include watching far too much reality TV with the excuse that it’s research for her books.

    Tamar hasn’t decided whether she’s primarily a psychologist who loves writing, or a writer with a lifelong drive to make a difference. She must have been someone pretty awesome in a previous life (past life regression indicates a Care Bear), because she gets to do both. She divides her time between helping families and writing emotion driven YA stories set in amazing imaginary worlds that surprise even her.

    The driving force for all of Tamar’s writing is sharing and connecting. In truth, connecting with others is why she writes. She loves to hear from readers. Find her on all the usual social media channels or her website, www.tamarsloan.com where can download one of her books for free.

    (Seriously, I LOVE hearing from you guys!)

    I love these characters. I truly hope they never want to make a movie because no one could act as well as these characters are written. I love the worldbuilding; very few writers could make me feel a lands devastation without seeing it with my own eyes but they did. I love the ebb and flow of the story and the anticipation I've come to expect that builds to an epic ending that makes it really hard to wait for the next book. One hundred books in this series wouldn't be enough!!! I can't wait to read them all again and again.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not a page turner, nevertheless it is a good read
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2022

    These two authors make a remarkable team. This book and the four before it are quite entertaining. The only reason for four stars is the teen romance got to be a bit much and too distracting. I surely thought that one of the lovebirds was going to pick a flower and play "loves me/loves me not." I will still purchase the next book in the series and hopefully this silliness will abate. I also find it rare that any book under five dollars is not littered with typos. This series is a very pleasant surprise, no typos.

    I absolutely loved this book just like I did the first four! I really like how the authors tell the story for the different character's viewpoints. I think they also did a great job explaining just enough from the first four books so that you could follow it and understand even of you hadn't read them...but stayed true to focus on the new characters. I can tell this will be another great series and I can't wait for the next one to be released!

    long, not in length which actually is short, just extra words about teen emotions. Very predictable. Hope the next is longer, and actually goes some where.

    I just realized that these last couple of books end in cliffhangers. I have them all so I wasn't paying attention to that as it was just open the next one. I am enjoying the storyline and the continuity of the characters. Really great reads and would definitely recommend.
