“Scary amazing fun.”—Brad Meltzer

Evils both above and below ground arise once again, threatening the world and all its inhabitants with extinction in this electrifying science fiction thriller—the final novel set in the Awakened universe—from the #1 internationally bestselling author and star of television’s Impractical Jokers and a bestselling science fiction writer.

Thanks to the heroics of former New York City Mayor Tom Cafferty and his team, the world is once again safe. The villainous Foundation for Human Advancement has been dismantled, the cities of the world are safe from nuclear annihilation, and Cafferty is now on a hunt to decimate every nest of creatures on the planet.

When Cafferty enters a nest underneath the Nevada desert, he is horrified to find it completely empty. It can only mean one thing: the battle for survival is not over. Across the planet, creatures are emerging from their subterranean homes. Now, the all-out war against humanity has begun—a war in which only one apex species will survive. Humankind has finally met its match. 

Cafferty knows that only one man can help him stop the onslaught. A man who is despised by the world. A man who has already caused the death of millions. A man who is a sworn enemy hell-bent on taking Tom Cafferty down forever: Albert Van Ness. 

But even this desperate move may not be enough to stop the creatures and save humanity . . .

      In the third volume in Murray and Wearmouth's Awakened series (after The Brink, 2019), the vicious, insect-like creatures that nest beneath the worlds' largest cities begin a massive final assault. As millions die all over the world, Thomas Cafferty, former mayor of New York City who brought the existence of the creatures to the public, has to get help from a man he despises more than anyone else. Albert Van Ness, the former head of the mysterious Foundation for Human Advancement who plotted to destroy the creatures with nuclear bombs hidden beneath every major world city, is now Cafferty's?and the world's?only hope. This pulpy and fast-paced narrative follows not only Cafferty and Van Ness as they arm themselves with some of the Foundation's deadliest creations, but also the few desperate survivors of the creatures' carnage, particularly in San Francisco, the epicenter of the invasion. With a tone and energy similar to Brian Keene and other 2000s-era pulpy horror writers, this grim vision of humanity's possible extinction should satisfy those looking for a gruesome, diverting read.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
