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.

I've read whole series when I was about 13. 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. ( )

Epigraph
There are two facts you need to know about the Chtorran ecology:
1)   It has grown beyond our ability to investigate and understand; it is therefore also beyond our ability to contain or destroy.
2)   It is unstable.

---The Red Book, (Release 22.19A)
Dedication
For Ben and Barbara Bova,
with love.
First words
We smelled it long before we saw it.
Quotations
"There's a lot to be said for thinking with your dick. The average penis is a lot more likely to stand up for what it wants than the average man."

--- SOLOMON SHORT
"The difference between men and women is that no man has ever won an argument with a woman."

--- SOLOMON SHORT
"All cats have the same name. It's pronounced exactly like the sound of a can opener."
