The long-dreaded nuclear conflict arrives. The city is torn apart, shattered, its people destroyed or mutilated beyond hope. For just a few, survival is possible only beneath the wrecked streets, if there is time to avoid the slow-descending, poisonous ashes. But below, the rats, demonic offspring of irradiated forebears, are waiting. They know that Man has weakened, become frail - and has become their prey.

"The third in the Rat trilogy by James Herbert. What does the world look like after a nuclear war that lasted perhaps 10 minutes. Herbert tells you all about it and who survived and guess who survives most of all? Great finale but would recomment reading Rats and Lair before starting on this one." — Pat (5 out of 5 stars)

" It is well-writen but I couldn't keep reading of rats attacks. "
" This is my favourite of the series. Fast paced and shocking with big rats (double yuch) "
" One of my favourite horror books,couldn't put it down. Love post-apocalyptic genre a few rats thrown in, brilliant. "
" i really liked the first two in this series, but this was an ok book it wasn't anywhere near as good i was really disappointed should of left it at two. "
" Fans of the previous 2 rats books may be disappointed by the lack of elaborate rat killing scenarios as Herbert tries (and fails) to develop his story and characters instead. Has its moments but don't expect another rats 1.. "
" Shit myself! "
" It's very descriptive. Nice reading! "
" My wife picked this up for me from a garage sale. I don't do rat horror. Yuck. I read the whole thing. It was well written and drove home its plot points quite well. That is why I gave it a 3.. not my fault it is not my genre. =) "
" As with most trilogy's, this was the 'worst' of the three. As my star rating says, I still liked it but it wasn't as good as the first two. "
" too long and repetitive of the previous two installments "
" As good as the first 2 - brilliantly scarey "
" Love, love love love!! Great for laughs, great for chills, great read all around! "
" The Chinese?! "
" I read this one first out of the three and it's definitely the scariest. "
" Enjoyable end to the trilogy, not quite as good as the first two books. "
" very dated now very 80s but such a good read well written and constructed brilliantly "
" More creepy vermin from the author of The Rats. "
" Not too bad, story rattled along at a good pace and a few moments of genuine tension. Would have preferred a more downbeat ending, though. "
" I enjoyed this book more than Lair and about the same as the Rats. I really found it eerie and couldnt put it down. I finished it in a day because i physically couldnt put it down. Only downside is sleeping alone in the dark afterwards :( "
" I was leant this book from a friend, it was a fascinating read and i could not out the book down! I'm going to read it again soon! "
" Het verhaal vond ik niet zo heel boeiend. En komen ook korte tijdsprongen in voor waarin dan dingen gebeuren die niet heel duidelijk zijn. Ik vond het maar wat rommelig. "
" Third installment and conclusion of Herbert's trilogy about giant, flesh-hungry rats. Nothing amazing, but had me turning the pages until dawn. "
