5.0
Team Ghost, led by Fitz, are at it again and have been tasked with a short recon/intel gathering mission. Now in Greenland, the team is now on a mission to figure out why VX9H9 did not have the desired effects at an old Nazi bunker. Much like all of Smith's previous works, this short story packs a quick punch of adrenaline filled action and brings about the hybrids. If you've made it this far and have completed "Aftermath", give this short story a listen to continue on the fight against the variants as we await "War". Easily a 5-star short story.

At last! A book featuring the furry variants in Greenland! I just have an image in my head of sort of zombie mutated Yetis!
A lost Nazi base on Greenland was a target for a team of soldiers to explore but when they go missing, Fitz and his team are sent to find out what happened to the men and why the biological weapons in this area didn't work. However, as the two teams are dropped off near an Inuit village, things start to go wrong very quickly when the variants start hunting them all.
I can't go into much detail because it is a short story but it is another adventure featuring Fitz and faithful hound Apollo, and the new Team Ghost. I liked the new setting in the snow of Greenland and finally we get to see the furry variants that were previously mentioned in the series. I am definitely thinking about variant Yeti type things which is kind of exciting though they probably don't even look like that in the author's mind!
I very much liked the scenes in the woods where you know they are being watched and it is very creepy. Much harder to see the white furry creatures than the soldiers sneaking through the snow. It was also tension filled when the soldiers entered the Nazi bunker to uncover what had happened there. There were a few surprising things inside the bunker which made the story very enjoyable.
I love the character of Fitz featuring him triumphing over the adversary of losing both legs in the war on terror, and finding purpose again in the war against the variants. I also love his furry companion Apollo, who is at his side on another scary mission. I so much want them both to survive the upcoming final book!
Great short story and it will keep me going until the last book comes out in November.
