Description
Domain is the third repulsive entry in the Rats trilogy, following Rats and Lair.
When five nuclear warheads level London, the survivors believe the worst is over. They are wrong. Beneath the radioactive rubble, in the lightless veins of the London Underground, a prehistoric hunger has awakened.
Steve Culver, a pilot haunted by his past, leads a desperate band of survivors through crumbling tunnels toward a secret government bunker. But the darkness is alive. Enormous, black-furred rats - mutated by radiation and led by a telepathic Mother Creature - are hunting for human blood. As the government's horrific experiments come to light, Culver realizes these vermin aren't just scavengers; they are a new, dominant species rising to claim the ruins.
Trapped between a lethally irradiated surface and a subterranean nightmare, humanity's time has run out. In the silence of the deep, the screaming has only just begun.
