Zero Day

Giant man-eating spiders have harvested large portions of the human race across the globe. Governments have bombed their own territories with nuclear weapons attempting to eradicate the arachnids. Even the United States has laid waste to 31 of its own cities. Still, more spiders are coming. Is it a new breed, or an ancient one that has lain dormant for millennia? Entomologist Melanie Guyer may have an answer, but will President Pilgrim be able to hold off the military and their scorched-earth schemes long enough for her to put the plan into motion? And how will the remaining pockets of humanity survive? The final installment in Boone's trilogy continues all of the nightmare qualities of the first two books (The Hatching and Skitter) and brings more while neatly spinning the loose ends from those titles into the conclusion.
