What to expect

Tens of millions of people around the world are dead. Half of China is a nuclear wasteland. Mysterious flesh-eating spiders are marching through Los Angeles, Oslo, Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, and countless other cities. According to scientist Melanie Gruyer, however, the spider situation seems to be looking up.

Yet in Japan, a giant, truck-sized, glowing egg sack is discovered, even as survivors in Los Angeles panic and break the quarantine zone. Out in the desert, survivalists Gordo and Shotgun are trying to invent a weapon to defeat the spiders. But even if they succeed it may be too late, because President Stephanie Pilgrim has been forced to enact the plan of last resort: The Spanish Protocol.

Every country must fight for itself. And the spiders are on the move...

Critics Review

  • 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

  • Smart writing underpins the terror
    in this second instalment in a continuing
    series, which is sufficiently selfcontained
    to be highly enjoyable even
    for those who missed the first episode.

    THE MORNING STAR

  • Ezekiel Boone writes with the power and pace of a Hollywood blockbuster

    PARMENION BOOKS

  • If The Hatching was a summer blockbuster then Skitter is its tense, page turning counterpart setting the tone for a brutal, all out apocalyptic conclusion.

    THE BOOK BEARD

  • Fun and pacey and full of gore.
