Lair (The Rats Trilogy, 2)

Product Information

I think a large part of it was that I enjoyed these characters more than I enjoyed the characters from the first book. Whilst we do have one character from the prior book in this one, and references are made to the events of book one, it was nice to be introduced to a fresh cast. It was only a little thing, but I do believe it played a big part in my enjoyment. The epilogue indicates that one female rat survived the purge by being trapped in the basement of a grocery shop. There, it gives birth to a new litter, including a new white two-headed rat.

I cannot fathom why Herbert released it. This is HIGHLY below average, even by comic standards. I guess he must’ve been really desperate for money, because it’s the only understandable reason for this *thing* to be published. Unrelatable character, horrible visuals, hardly any plot. Sadly I can say I’ve seen worse, but not a lot. Avoid at all costs. But despite his racing start, he was unable to match the trajectory that took King to such stellar heights, and never seemed a huge self-publicist.

The story follows James Rivers, a climatologi We come across main protagonist of the story, Luke Pender, a man determined to get rid of the rats at all costs, and sometimes finds himself at odds with decisions and actions taken, though meeting Jenny, they form a bond and become close. A touch longer than the first book, we again get to meet a multitude of characters, some for the long run and others, a brief introduction before they are served up with a Béarnaise sauce at the vermin barbecue. There is some pretty scary moments in the Lair, the feeling that the rats are watching from the grass, from the trees, ready to pounce and again we have our hero. This time it's personnel, our hero lost his family in the first wave of the rat campaign and he's hurting. He does however want stunning with a shovel as is the case with most heroes, but stupid is as stupid does and he's destined to step into the breach, the Rats Lair.

Jones, Stephen, ed. (1992). James Herbert: By Horror Haunted. London: Hodder & Stoughton. ISBN 978-0-450-53810-0. PERSONAL NOTE: [1979] [272p] [Horror] [Audiobook] [Almost Recommendable] [Rat savagery] [Gore Galore] [Rats, rats, rats!] To be frank, by the time we got to the perfunctory, rushed ending I had kind of lost my interest in it. But there’s all kinds of natural disasters and a sense that they’re all connected and it takes a grizzled scientist to work out what’s going on, and to stop an evil witch from New Orleans who’s thrown into the mix for some reason. I think what grabbed my attention right off the bat - as it probably was with a lot of people - was the artwork. Ian Miller's art style was surreal, nightmarish and visceral in ways that made this seems less like the real world and more like an alien planet. So much of the story takes place in the eponymous City and very little of it feels normal. The place has been turned into a giant rat's nest with the buildings and streets being designed with a more organic feel. The character's are all distinct, with nearby every human face in the crowd being distinct.This is the second in the famous Rats trilogy (in fact there is a forth called the City written 10 years after Domain but thats a different story - literally)

Well the answer is simple - this is James Herbert - where a mixture of characters and family settings it makes for a chilling ride (or is that thrilling), a case of you know your destination, its more a case of how you are going to get there. Casi mudo protagonista entra a destruida ciudad apocalíptica y mata casi todo lo que ve; mutantes, personas y ratas por igual. Después se va. On the outskirts of London, in Epping forest, slightly strange goings on with the wildlife occur, and after a particularly bad omen, it becomes clear something strange is going on.

Widely imitated and hugely influential, his 19 novels have sold more than 42 million copies worldwide. Herbert's final novel has an eerie political edge. Ash imagines Princess Diana and her secret son as well as Lord Lucan, Colonel Gaddafi and Robert Maxwell living together in a Scottish castle. [15]
