The horror continues in Domain.   The \"Outbreak\" was a tragedy London thought it had buried. But deep within the ancient, shadowed groves of Epping Forest, a new terror is feeding.   Investigator Lucas Pender - haunted by the family he lost to the first wave of mutants - recognizes the chilling signs: mutilated livestock and an eerie, unnatural silence in the woods. These aren't mere scavengers; they are immense, intelligent predators with a reawakened lust for human blood. Led by a grotesque, two-headed master and a cunning, scarred survivor, the pack begins a coordinated massacre that defies every known poison.   As the forest becomes a military slaughterhouse, Pender must plunge into the subterranean darkness to confront a biological horror faster and hungrier than anything humanity has ever faced. The natural order is shifting - and we are no longer at the top.   Praise for James Herbert:`The Rats is splatterpunk deluxe'  - Stephen King`Lean, mean, and nasty as punk'  - Grady Hendrix`A one-off; a true horror original'  - Peter James\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55731992232312,"sku":"9781037406249","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781037406249.jpg?v=1794265478","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781037406249","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
