Imprisoned in a fried controlled RAF base, Detectives Stuckler and Holmes, and the little girl Em, must find a way to escape amid the storm of teeth and claws that has descended around them. In the wilderness, they find themselves confronting more fried as they try to piece together the mystery surrounding the natives' plots and schemes, and what that means for the future of mankind. But they face a much sterner test when a group of survivors comes under attack by a horde in Beverley, and are plunged into a battle of life and death. In the second book in the series, the detectives are plunged deeper into the wilderness and face a battle not just against the fried and their deadly schemes, but to maintain their humanity.
