"This is a quick, apocalyptic thriller in which a young man and a little girl try to survive when nature... in the form of insects... strikes back. Not one zombie in sight. Thank goodness. I am so tired of the undead. "Jack's Fun Facts" are slightly creepy, but entertaining, too." –Amazon Reviewer

Jack finds Claire screaming in the backseat of a car, strapped into a child’s seat. Her parents are dead in the front. Death is all around them. He frees her from the seat and together, they try to escape the indiscriminate decimation of humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars More!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020
I've read my way through all of the author's books and this was the last one. I've enjoyed all of them but had put this at the end because I normally don't care for apocalypse books. I was very pleasantly surprised with this one. I enjoyed it - a LOT. In fact, I was so absorbed in the story (one sitting, straight through) that I lost track of where I was in the book and was shocked when it just ended. I can't believe he stopped at a novella. This story has much more to be told. Not just a full-length novel but there's enough for a series here. I would love for him to carry this story on and certainly hope he does.

This is a quick, apocalyptic thriller in which a young man and a little girl try to survive when nature...in the form of insects...decides to strike back. Not one zombie in sight. Thank goodness. I am so tired of the undead. "Jack's Fun Facts" are slightly creepy, but entertaining too.

John Hunt is my favorite author. Scaring the "oh my god" out of me with every line I read. All of the insect facts bothered me almost more than the story did....

I enjoyed the way Hunt wrote this apocalyptic story. Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. When you read the story it makes you think that this could really happen. Gives me shivers. Good job.
