About this listen
Deep in the jungle of Peru, a black, skittering mass devours an American tourist party whole. FBI agent Mike Rich investigates a fatal plane crash in Minneapolis and makes a gruesome discovery. Unusual seismic patterns register in an Indian earthquake lab, confounding the scientists there.
The Chinese government 'accidentally' drops a nuclear bomb in an isolated region of its own country. And all of these events are connected. As panic begins to sweep the globe, a mysterious package from South America arrives at Melanie Guyer's Washington laboratory. The unusual egg inside begins to crack. Something is spreading....
The world is on the brink of an apocalyptic disaster. A virulent ancient species, long dormant, is now very much awake. But this is only the beginning of our end....

Much of the first part of this one Boone spends introducing us to the wide cast of global characters that will cover this story. it's very much in the style of his self-confessed influence Stephen King as he gives the characters depth and persona. The horror once it starts and we head towards a new kind of apocalypse is strong and actually exciting. Apparently these spiders come in waves, each more scary than the last.
The ending of this book comes at a sensible point, given that it is just the starting point of a trilogy. As a stand-alone the whole thing must have seemed poorly balanced.
So, I'm in for the ride and look forwards to where Mr Boone plans to take us in "Skitter"!
Be Prepared to Invest in a Trilogy!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend who also loves B-Movies. It's a bit of a 80's monster horror throw back. Awesome.Who was your favorite character and why?
To be honest i never really got attached to any of the characters. Not that they weren't well written or didn't have personality it was i just never really clicked to a particular one.Which scene did you most enjoy?
I think without spoilers....Investigating the plane crash or the ship grounding.
Both gave me the feeling of s##ts gonna get real.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
What would you get if you crossed Arachnophobia and Eight legged freaks?The Hatching.
Any additional comments?
Great book but a let down at the end. It didn't so much end with a cliffhanger it more of fizzled out and kinda makes you have to get the next one just to find out what happens.It feels like it was written as one book but to cash in more they just chopped it in half to get two books out of it. Feel a bit cheated and I'm not rushing out to get the second one as a way to make myself feel like I'm getting my own back.Via Revolution!
Great B-Movie'esk. Needs Bruce Campbell.
