About this listen

Deputy Thomas Rodney is no stranger to tense situations. Having served multiple tours in the worst of environments, facing death had practically become just another day at the office.

But nothing could have prepared him for this.

In a woodland county in the Pacific Northwest, a sinister presence has awakened. A roadwork crew has disappeared without a trace; a truck is found run off the road; a lakefront property is mysteriously vacant, its roof damaged as though something large descended from high above; and an eerie quiet has overtaken the countryside.

In the curving hills, the quiet gives way to the droning of wings. Wasps—mutated, huge, and carnivorous—have invaded the area.

But they are not the only visitors.

Their attack on Thomas is thwarted by the arrival of a mysterious paramilitary unit armed with advanced weaponry and technology. The patch on their uniforms reading G.O.R.E. SECTOR (Giant Organism Reconnaissance and Extermination), they have one objective: to protect the public from giant monsters, which have been steadily appearing all over the globe.

As the day rages on, Thomas Rodney puts his investigative and military skills to work, assisting G.O.R.E. Sector with destroying the hive, before the insect population spreads to the entire west coast.

More entertaining like a summer blockbuster than a unique story. more machismo from this author. I prefer the more natural science writing and layered storytelling of The Swarm by Frank Schatzing

Is a good premises and story. Just isn't fleshed out and feels a tad rushed.

It's good

It’s a great story!!! I felt it had Stargate energy just with a new monster of the week situation. How the
Main character ended up becoming the leader of the group and giving him a purpose after his wife’s death is kinda weird. I would’ve like it more if he joined the group to serve as a second in command or led his own team investigating mysterious events.

I love giant monster stories and this book got it! Giant hornets! Oh no! Wait! There are also giant wasps!!!!!!!!!! How will humanity survive!!!! Oh no!!
This book was published in 2023. I hope they start releasing these like 2-3xs a year or once a year

Yes!!!!!!!! Stargate vibes

I really wanted to like this story, but it came across as just a collection of cliches. Sadly, it was too much for me.

Just couldn't get past the writing

I like the Giant wasp scenario, but I wish the characters and been more interesting and fleshed out. There was a lot of action and the story went quickly.

Pretty good
