Everything took a matter of weeks. The plague struck Calcutta and spread like wildfire, wave after wave. When the waves subsided, no one knew how many people remained, how it happened and who to blame. Then the Chtorrs appeared, and things got much worse. Unknown ferocious man-eating worms, moving at the speed of an express train, with enormous incomprehensible malice. Nothing short of a flamethrower can stop them. Jim McCarthy is drafted into the Special Forces. He was given an order: to find and destroy the enemy. But McCarthy begins to learn what the Chtorr are. Thus begins "War Against Chtorr": the most ambitious saga ever written about an extraterrestrial invasion.
