Description

"A globe-hopping, seriously creepy read." —Publishers Weekly on Skitter

First, there was the black swarm that swallowed a man whole, the suspicious seismic irregularities in India that confounded scientists, the nuclear bomb China dropped on its own territory without any explanation. Then, scientist Melanie Guyer's lab received a package containing a mysterious egg sac; little did Dr. Guyer know that, almost overnight, Earth would be consumed by previously dormant spiders that suddenly wanted out.

Now, tens of millions of people around the world are dead. Half of China is a nuclear wasteland. Mysterious flesh-eating spiders are marching through Los Angeles, Oslo, Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, and countless other cities. According to Dr. Guyer, the crisis may soon be over.

But in Japan, a giant, glowing egg sac gives a shocking preview of what is to come, even as survivors in Los Angeles panic and break the quarantine zone. Out in the desert, survivalists Gordo and Shotgun are trying to invent a weapon to fight back, but it may be too late, because President Stephanie Pilgrim has been forced to enact the plan of last resort.

America, you are on your own.

I’m already a huge fan of The Hatching Series by Ezekial Boone. And this is only book two.

Now, if you haven’t read book one, The Hatching, stop now and read that first. It was awesomely chompy and will definitely give you those good old-fashioned creepy crawlies.

Skitter takes up where The Hatching left off. Picture chompy things that are more aggressive, faster, hungrier, and their numbers are legion. This one is truly epic, taking you all around the world witnessing an eight-legged apocalypse that just won’t quit. We also get some personal stories of some very unique survivors – some to root for and some who are villains in their own right.

I tore through the book in one night. And I want book three immediately. I’ve heard that there may be five books in this series. If the rest are as good as the first two, I’m simply not going to want it to end.

Excellent creepy fiction!
