Now I'm re-reading it in original (years ago, I've read Czech translation) and I'm enjoying it so much. ( ) A Season for Slaughteris a fantastic read. The whole The War Against the Chtorr is one of the most brilliant seven-book trilogy I had the privilege of reading. The only thing that compares is Dune or Avatar. It is also, undoubtedly, the best alien-invasion story ever written, as Gerrold's The Man Who Folded Himself is the best time-traveling story ever written (yes, better in some ways than Wells's The Time Machine). That said, if you're like me, you're probably regretting that you've read the book since it ends on a cliffhanger . . . and I've been waiting years for the next book in the series to be published. But I think it's worth the wait. Plus, it allows me to reread the series. All my copies are dog-eared and I've yet to get tired of them. But God's wounds, you bastard, I want answers! And don't you dare give us any of that "It is the mystery that lingers" crap. We've been lingering for 17 years. And if you're not forthcoming, I'll . . . I'll write my own pirated conclusion. That's right. One where Jimmy wakes up, goes to the shower and finds Lizzard there, safe and alive, and tells her he's just had the strangest dream. no reviews | add a review

Here at last is the eagerly awaited fourth book in David Gerrold's classic and gripping series of alien domination--the story of humanity's courageous struggle for survival against the greatest threat Earth has ever known. As the tenacious invaders remake Earth's violated surface, transforming its flora and fauna into a replica of their own terrifying home world, a handful of scientists, soldiers, and citizens prepare to fight back--hoping it isn't already too late. In Mexico, a dead Chtorr leads to a stunning discovery about the aliens. At the same time, a military-scientific expedition deep into the heart of the Brazilian jungle uncovers another surprise: a massive hivelike city where the aliens have embarked on the next step in their remorseless campaign to transform humanity.
