Description
Tens of millions of people around the world are dead. Half of China is a nuclear wasteland. Mysterious flesh-eating spiders have invaded numerous cities, including Los Angeles, Oslo, Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, and many others. According to scientist Melanie Gruyer, however, the spider situation seems to be improving. Yet in Japan, a giant, truck-sized, glowing egg sack has been discovered, even as survivors in Los Angeles panic and break the quarantine zone. In this apocalyptic world, survivalists Gordo and Shotgun are trying to invent a weapon to defeat the spiders. Meanwhile, President Stephanie Pilgrim has been forced to enact the plan of last resort: The Spanish Protocol. Every country must fight for itself, but it may already be too late. The spiders are on the move. As the situation spirals out of control, humanity teeters on the brink of collapse. Can anyone stop the deadly invasion, or will the world succumb to the horrors that have been unleashed?
