Editorial Review

“McNish (Angel) has his horror movie–ready details and twists down pat, but he’s most interested in his monsters—the story’s most complex and intriguing characters—from the Horror, gruesome yet childlike, to the Ocrassa, which has used the animal kingdom like a smorgasbord, picking useful traits to become the planet’s most dominant creature. Savannah, Reece, and the other humans feel like exactly what they are: pawns in an eons-old battle, as nature itself attempts to root out the ultimate invasive species.” —Publishers Weekly
