At first they seemed a mere curiosity, these alien visitors glowing faintly purple as they pulsed through the waves. Tourists gathered to marvel at their graceful forms, children delighted in their squishy texture. We should have been warier from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first victim was a scuba diver, stung by the tentacles of an unknown species. Within hours a raging fever set in, soon followed by violent delirium. He became the index case of the epidemic as the mysterious neurotoxin spread rapidly from human to human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChaos erupted within days as the infected hordes - crazed and cannibalistic - overwhelmed authorities. Cities descended into anarchy, society teetered on the brink of collapse. Our leaders responded with lethal force and martial law, to little avail. For the jellyfish were only the heralds of a full-scale invasion from below, one that threatened to wipe humanity from the face of the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith INVADERS, Francisco Angulo has crafted a genuinely frightening and all-too-plausible doomsday scenario, underpinned by rapid-fire action and tantalizing scientific speculation. Part Michael Crichton and part Stephen King, Angulo's vision of an alien-engineered apocalypse will have you watching the waters with wary eyes long after you've turned the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wanted to write a novel in the style of those fantastic stories that appeared in those old American magazines for geeks: Amazing Stories, Science Fiction, Infinity, etc... A novel without pretense, with the sole purpose of entertaining and of course with the idea of having fun during the creative process. With everything going on and all the media talking to us about the crisis, I thought we'd have to have some fun with something, at least for now reading and writing is free...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francisco Angulo de Lafuente\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Scribner's \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798223641568\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Scribner's \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42957552418931,"sku":"9.79822E+12","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_fa1d1fa8-2219-4748-8976-8da71228fcb9.jpg?v=1743589678","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/jellyfish-invasion-9798223641568","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
