In a world torn apart by hatred and fear, only the strongest will survive… Short, fast-paced, and priced to go, this futuristic thriller is Tom Holt at his most compulsively readable. "There was one lying in the road when I got there. She was dead. No need to look up close. You can tell from twenty yards away, when they're lying like that." Nobody knows where they come from. Nobody knows what they want. The creatures are killing humans for meat, and nobody, it seems, can stop them. Now one man—a hunter by trade—has trapped one of the creatures. Under the ground, they face each other. And only one of them will get out alive.
