Spider Men of Gharr

Kimball Trent wakes from a century of frozen sleep to find Earth unrecognizable. The cities are ruins. The sky burns with alien light. And the Gharrians have risen: eight-limbed intelligences who see humans as cattle, who have woven their venomous civilization across the bones of human civilization. Trent is alone in a world that has forgotten his kind. The Spider Men of Gharr rule from throne-cities spun of living web, and humanity survives only in scattered, desperate pockets. But Trent carries something the aliens cannot fathom: the memory of a free Earth, and the fury to reclaim it. This is pulp science fiction at its most unapologetic: a tale of one man dropped into horror, armed with nothing but grit and a stolen blaster. Peacock writes with the breathless pace of a serial adventure, layering creature horror against the quiet dread of true isolation. For readers who want their sci-fi loud, strange, and unafraid to be weird.
