Zero Day

November 27, 2017
The fate of the world hangs in the balance in Boone’s explosive conclusion to his Hatching trilogy (The Hatching, Skitter), which features some of the scariest spiders in recent horror. Tactical nuclear strikes have killed many of the hell spiders, and roads and bridges have been destroyed to halt their spread, but the terror is far from over. On the USS Elsie Downs, professor Melanie Guyer feverishly works to find the secret to destroying the spider menace, with President Stephanie Pilgrim’s help. The military is helping survivalist Shotgun tweak his spider weapon, and a false prophet gathers his followers. Adding to the horror, the spiders begin hitching rides inside of people, and the queens are gathering strength. Boone supplies plenty of his trademark big-screen-ready, rip-roaring action and leavens the outright terror with humor, expertly gathering all the strands of his diabolical web together in a truly exciting showdown.
