I was happily surprised today to receive my advance autographed copy of THEM OR US from its author, David Moody. Thank you, David! Can’t wait to dig into it.
If you’re not familiar with Moody’s HATER series, you should be! The first book, HATER, contains one of the most compelling twists in horror literature that I have ever read. Its sequel, DOG BLOOD, continues the story of the main character, Danny McCoyne, trying to find his daughter in a world defined by catastrophic war between two branches of humanity. THEM OR US is the climax of the series.
Here’s the synopsis of the final book:
“The war that has torn the human race apart is finally nearing its end. With most towns and cities now uninhabitable, and with the country in the grip of a savage nuclear winter, both Hater and Unchanged alike struggle to survive.
“Hundreds of Hater fighters have settled on the East Coast in the abandoned remains of a relatively undamaged town under the command of Hinchcliffe—who’ll stop at nothing to eradicate the last few Unchanged and consolidate his position at the top of this new world order. This fledgling society is harsh and unforgiving—your place in the ranks is decided by how long and how hard you’re prepared to fight.
“Danny McCoyne is the exception to the rule. His ability to hold the Hate and to use it to hunt out the remaining Unchanged has given him a unique position in Hinchcliffe’s army of fighters. As the enemy’s numbers reduce, so the pressure on McCoyne increases, until he finds himself at the very center of a pivotal confrontation, the outcome of which will have repercussions on the future of everyone who is left alive.”
