Bridgers 5: The Trial of Extinction is the fifth book in my exciting Bridgers series.

Infinity and Desmond are bridgers, sworn to protect travelers to alternate versions of Earth. But now their own Earth has been destroyed, and they have a new task—protecting a small community of fellow refugees who managed to escape to a world teeming with giant arthropods. Stranded there, they’ve gradually managed to etch out a fulfilling existence. But it seems nothing good can ever last.

Infinity and Desmond’s hopes of living out their lives in peace are shattered when their old friend Armando inexplicably bridges to their world. Armando’s arrival triggers a devastating series of events and forces the bridgers and their fellow refugees to leave their new home. After narrowly escaping, they find themselves entangled in a cruel game, a trial to decide humankind’s worth. The rules of the game are unclear, but the stakes are high—the annihilation of billions of people.

Caught up in an impossible dilemma, on a world populated by extraordinary sentient creatures, Infinity and Desmond discover the limits of what they are willing to do for their species—and for each other.

Here are a few of my favorite reviews of Bridgers 5: The Trial of Extinction:

"Non-stop pulse-pounding adventure! Bridgers 5: The Trial of Extinction delivers in every way! Without a doubt, Stan C. Smith’s fifth book in his Bridgers’ series is the best book I have read all summer despite the fact that I just finished reading two New York Times best-selling books."
- Sherri on Goodreads

"From the first sentence of Bridgers 5: The Trial of Exctinction you're on a bullet train of action and suspense that doesn't stop racing along until the very last page. Infinity, Desmond and a select few others are in a fight to save their newest world and everyone on it from extinction."
- Lisa Ann Sherman on Amazon

"I wasn’t sure where Stan could go after Bridgers 4, but this blew any expectations out of the water. New tech, more questions and some unexpected connections. Fabulous storyline, interesting characters and I can’t wait now to see what will happen in #6!!"
- Lorraine on Goodreads

"Holding someone's attention through an entire story is a gift. Stan has this gift and more. You have to really watch the time as the pages just keep flying. You can't stop, the next page is waiting for you to read it. It just pulls you in. Enjoy!"

"There are lemurs! Scary lemurs! Wow. I wasn't expecting that! The author took the story in an unexpected direction, and yet it worked so well. A new dilemma, with some very advanced but also very weird aliens, and a game to which our Bridgers do not know the rules."
- Jenny on Goodreads

"This entry into the Bridgers series is a winner. Non-stop action, incredible surprises, and unbelievable heartbreak balanced by times of great joy. The suspense builds to the very end. An extremely fast read that makes you salivate for more!"
