The Troop: A Novel by Nick Cutter (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Troop by Nick Cutter "The Troop scared the hell out of me, and I couldnt put it down. This is old-school horror at its best." --Stephen King This "grim microcosm of terror and desperation haunting" (Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author) follows a scout troop on a terrifying fight for survival when they come across a mysterious--and deadly--stranger in the Canadian wilderness. Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip--a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder stumbles upon their campsite--shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry--Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. A horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected...or one another. Part Lord of the Flies, part 28 Days Later--and all-consuming--this tightly written, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you deep into the heart of darkness, where fear feeds on sanity...and terror hungers for more.

The moon was a bone fishhook in the clear October sky. The man was wet from the spray that kicked over the gunwale. The outline of his body was visible under his drenched clothes. He easily could have been mistaken for a scarecrow left carelessly unattended in a farmers field, stuffing torn out by scavenging animals. Hed stolen the boat from a dock at North Point, at the farthest tip of Prince Edward Island, reaching the dock in a truck hed hotwired in a diner parking lot. Christ, he was hungry. Hed eaten so much at that roadside diner that hed ruptured his stomach lining-the contents of his guts were right now leaking through the split tissue, into the crevices between his organs. He wasnt aware of that fact, though, and wouldnt care much anyway in his current state. Itd felt so good to fill the empty space inside of him Details ISBN1501144820 Author Nick Cutter Short Title TROOP Language English ISBN-10 1501144820 ISBN-13 9781501144820 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 813.6 Pages 384 Year 2016 Publication Date 2016-08-16 Subtitle A Novel Audience General Publisher Simon & Schuster Imprint Simon & Schuster Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2016-08-16 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
