Nobody knows exactly how many generations have passed since the catastrophic Event, leaving most of North America a wasteland roamed by the deformed, the doomed and the damned. But far beneath the poisoned terrain, an inhuman species of subterranean colonists has a plan to repopulate the planet. Their oily black fur glistens in the darkness. Their telepathic communication argues the details. Their long thick tails and razor-sharp incisors twitch with anticipation. And for a roughneck salvage team who has accepted a warlord's lucrative offer to raid an abandoned city, what appeared to be an easy score is now a gore-spattered battle for survival that may breed the ultimate horror.

From Brad Carter - whose killer shark, horny Bigfoot, butchered hooker and zombie apocalypse novelizations include CRUEL JAWS, NIGHT OF THE DEMON, MARDI GRAS MASSACRE and VIRUS: HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD -comes this viscera-sprayed saga inspired by an original screenplay by Claudio Fragasso, Rossella Drudi and Bruno Mattei that became the basis for Mattei's notorious trash classic RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR.
