The world is a now a very different place, thanks to the heroics of former NYC Mayor Tom Cafferty and his team. The villainous Foundation for Human Advancement has been dismantled; the cities of the world are safe from nuclear annihilation; and Cafferty is on the hunt to destroy every nest of creatures on the planet. But when Cafferty enters a nest underneath Boston — only to find it completely empty — he knows something is very, very wrong. Simultaneously, all across the planet, the creatures rise to the surface. The all-out war against humanity has begun — a war in which only one apex species will survive. Humankind has finally met its match. Mayor Cafferty realizes there’s only one man who can help humanity stop the onslaught. A man despised by the world. A man who has already caused the death of millions. A man hell-bent on taking Tom Cafferty down forever: Albert Van Ness. But even this desperate last resort may not be enough to quell the seemingly unstoppable march to extinction.
