James Herbert: Lair, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The restless rats return in James Herbert's Lair, the second horror novel in the Rats trilogy.

The "Outbreak" was a tragedy London thought it had buried. But deep within the ancient, shadowed groves of Epping Forest, a new terror is feeding.

Investigator Lucas Pender-haunted by the family he lost to the first wave of mutants-recognizes the chilling signs: mutilated livestock and an eerie, unnatural silence in the woods. These aren't mere scavengers; they are immense, intelligent predators with a reawakened lust for human blood. Led by a grotesque, two-headed master and a cunning, scarred survivor, the pack begins a coordinated massacre that defies every known poison.

As the forest becomes a military slaughterhouse, Pender must plunge into the subterranean darkness to confront a biological horror faster and hungrier than anything humanity has ever faced. The natural order is shifting-and we are no longer at the top.
