Destruction

by Ezekiel Boone, Jérôme Orsoni (Translator)

Toujours plus nombreuses, toujours plus grosses, toujours plus affamées, les araignées sont de retour.
Mais contre elles, que faire ? Les détruire toutes, au risque d'anéantir la moindre trace de vie sur terre dans une gigantesque explosion nucléaire ? Ou se laisser dévorer en attendant de trouver une solution scientifique et vraiment efficace ? Mourir ou mourir : il est des dilemmes plus rassurants.
Le monde est au bord de l'apocalypse et l'hésitation n'est plus de mise. L'heure de l'affrontement final a sonné. Face à ce monstrueux Jugement dernier en chair et en pattes, l'humanité trouvera-t-elle les ressources qui lui permettront de survivre ? S'enferrera-t-elle encore dans les conflits qui sans cesse la minent ? Saura-t-elle se transcender pour son salut ?
Avec cet ultime combat, Ezekiel Boone peint le portrait halluciné d'une civilisation aux prises avec ses propres démons et d'autres, rampants, qu'elle n'imaginait pas dans ses pires cauchemars.

About the author

I live in upstate New York with my wife and kids. Whenever I travel and say I'm from New York, people think I mean NYC, but we live about three hours north of New York City. Our house is five minutes outside of a university town. We're far enough out of town that, at night, it's dark.
No.
Darker than that.
Dark enough that, if you're not careful, you might fall off the small cliff at the edge of my property. If you're lucky, the water will be up enough to break your fall. If you're not lucky, please sign a waiver before you come to visit.
I've got two unruly dogs who are mostly friendly. Well, that's not true. The part about them being unruly is true, but one of them is the most friendly dog you've ever met, and the other dog ... isn't. They are good writing partners, though they spend a lot of their day curled up in front of the wood burning stove and ignoring me. Unless I'm making lunch. They pay attention to me then.
The Ezekiel Boone website is www.ezekielboone.com, but I've also got a nifty website for THE HATCHING at www.TheHatchingBook.com. It has a cool map and some other bells and whistles.
You can also follow me on Facebook or follow me on Instagram if you are so inclined and like the idea of occasionally seeing photos of my dogs.
If you've read this far, I should mention that THE HATCHING is Ezekiel Boone's first book, but it's not actually *my* first book. I also write under the name Alexi Zentner. Alexi Zentner's books are pretty different from Ezekiel Boone's.

Excellent comme finale

[Georges · Rating 4 out of 5]

Très bonne conclusion d'une trilogie épique. Frissons garantis et encore plus si vous avez horreur des araignées. Scène d'action, de suspense et d'horreur intense s'enchaîne les unes après les autres.
Vraiment très bon.

A great ending to this trilogy! As Book #2 was slower-paced than #1, I was a bit worried that the whole thing would run out of breath. Hell, it didn't! By the middle of the book, I was caring for (almost!) all the characters, and from there on the action picked up some good pace, to such a point that I just couldn't read that book before sleeping anymore, as it was keeping me awake with all the suspense! Absolutely loved the story, the writing style, the characters, and even the slightly cliché ending (still a great match to the story). I will definitely check the rest of Boone's work out, I hope he's written a lot so far.
