Zero day - Ezekiel Boone

'Why are humans afraid of spiders? With a multi-stranded narrative that traps you as effectively as a silken web, Skitter makes the answer all too clear' DAILY MAIL

In the thrilling, nerve-wracking finale of Ezekiel Boone's terrifying Hatching series, the United States goes to war against the queen spiders that threaten to overtake the human race forever.

The world is on the brink of apocalypse. Zero Day has come.

The
only thing more terrifying than millions of spiders is the realization
that those spiders work as one. But among the government, there is
dissent: do we try to kill all of the spiders, or do we gamble on
Professor Guyer's theory that we need to kill only the queens?

For
President Stephanie Pilgrim, it's an easy answer. She's gone as far as
she can-more than two dozen American cities hit with tactical nukes, the
country torn asunder - and the only answer is to believe in Professor
Guyer. Unfortunately, Ben Broussard and the military men who follow him
don't agree, and Pilgrim, Guyer, and the loyal members of the government
have to flee, leaving the question: what can be more dangerous, the spiders
or ourselves?

'Following directly on the heels of SKITTER (2017), Boone brings his
excellent spider-apocalypse thriller to an exciting conclusion . . . The
entire series is one to hand to fans of all high-action thrillers,
especially for those with a speculative frame by Mira Grant, Jonathan
Maberry, and Ben H. Winters. In a landscape where the adventure thriller
seems to be dragging, it is clear all we needed were some spiders to
revive it' (Booklist (starred review))

'Big-screen-ready, rip-roaring action' (Publishers Weekly)
