Publisher's summary

Earth’s surface is no longer ours. Humans thought they were safe underground where the invading Arthropods couldn’t reach them. After centuries of occupation, the antiquated subterranean cities have deteriorated and they have exhausted their supplies. Making matters worse, the hostile invaders have destroyed one of the ten remaining cities.

Now Huck, Ariadne, and Hemant are in a race to destroy the Arthropod Hive before the “inverts” completely annihilate humanity. But before the candidates can begin, they must survive their corrupt government’s population control scheme—a highly-fatal, barbaric event known as RELEASE DAY.

To accomplish their mission, they must enlist the help of a group of dubious transporters to trek across the planet through numerous biomes, infinite swarms of Arthropods, and deranged surface-dwelling humans on their perilous mission to recover a war-ending device and carry it to the creatures’ hive.

Quite Compelling Plot

I have met the author on a few occasions, and own physical copies of the books, and there is nothing to complain about with this series. It's engaging, suspenseful, and humourous! the narrator is great and the writing style is easy to follow and smooth to read or listen to!

Excited for more!

This book was a joy to listen to and I enjoyed all the characters. The story drops you immediately into a post apocalyptic world but not one we’re use to imagining. The monsters are creative and every time the characters figure one out a new one seems to leap out and challenge the very existence of humans on earth. Looking forward to the next volumes.

A great book

I really love the concept of this book- but even more than that love the found family that develops throughout the story.
There are a lot of real life issues interwoven in this dystopian story that makes the story really come to life. I enjoyed reading the book from multiple points of view. This book is unique to me because in my opinion there are not many books like this, it took risks and it paid off. If you love survival stories where the underdog is fighting against corruption then this story is for you.
