This is old-school horror at its best." --Stephen King</b> <p/><b>This "grim microcosm of terror and desperation haunting" (Christopher Golden, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author) follows a scout troop on a terrifying fight for survival when they come across a mysterious--and deadly--stranger in the Canadian wilderness.</b> <p/>Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip--a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder stumbles upon their campsite--shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry--Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. A horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected...or one another. <p/> Part <i>Lord of the Flies</i>, part <i>28 Days Later</i>--and all-consuming--this tightly written, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you deep into the heart of darkness, where fear feeds on sanity...and terror hungers for more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A grim microcosm of terror and desperation haunting."--Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author"<br><br>"Brilliant, and dialed to eleven on the creepy meter an absolute blast."--Robert Pobi, author of Eye of the Storm"<br><br>"Some thrillers produce shivers, others trigger goose bumps; Cutter's graphic offering will have readers jumping out of their skin intense packs a powerful punch .Readers may wish to tackle this heart-pounding novel in highly-populated, well-lit areas snacks optional."--Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>"Suspenseful .sinister .horrifying."--Library Journal"<br><br>"Nick Cutter brings a bone-chilling spin to a classic horror scenario in "The Troop."
