The endless line of creatures emerge from the Stygian depths below; pestilence and death stream from the pit. A war has begun.The human race will not surrender, but the unstoppable leviathan mass is spreading. The biggest threat to mankind and the world has ruptured the confines of New Mexico and is pushing across the United States and out across the oceans as far as Africa, Europe and Asia.Desperate to survive and amid the chaotic bloodshed, a small group of petrified souls find each other and are thrown into a head-on confrontation with a species bent on the destruction of everything. Within a few days, billions are killed; slaughtered at the hands of the beasts. Mankind teeters on the brink of extinction.Slowly, the weary group of travelers meander across Asia, where they face an unending threat, from not only their newfound predators but also from the desolation and death that surrounds them. From the deserted streets of Malaysia to the bloody waters of the South China Sea; everywhere they go there is death. Even the once fashionable neighborhoods of London are silent; the signs of massacre everywhere, reflected in the dead eyes of the corpses that litter the streets.Despairingly, one survivor breaks down, sobbing quietly, the steam from his breath crystallizing in the air before him. The vista of the setting sun, descending behind the hills, agonizes him and he somehow knows that this is the end. 3
